Category Layout HELP Please....

Post by sgatewood76 »

Hi there:

Great component! It does what it says and out of the box it looks pretty good and the functionality all seems to work as it should.

However, I have an interesting issue I'm not sure how to go about fixing. On my site I have about 10 main categories and under each of these categories there are many more. For example, I have a category "IR Files" that has about 300 subcategories under it, yet I have an "HR Documents" category with only 5 subcategories under it.

Can you see where I'm going with this problem? The IR Files category scrolls down.... a long way down, one column and obviously the HR Documents category only takes up about 8 lines. :(

Is there a way to limit category grids or boxes to scroll down only say 20 items... with a next button or perhaps a scrollbar to display more within that particular category but keep the layout nice and clean? Any suggestions here???

I've read up on overflow but I don't have the slightest on how to deploy that within this component. I looked through the files but couldn't narrow down what is the layout parameters within the code.

Thanks so much!

Hi, you can customize it in the code, so e.g. you will limit sql or php to not display so much sub items or as you wrote you canu use some overflow attribute - this is used in css, so you will apply this css rule to the div where all the items are displayed.
