Hi all,

Can anyone give me a pointer on how to go about setting up the category template so that the listings are bulleted with a graphic instead of the standard dot bullet?

I can't find anything relevant by searching the forums.

Thanks,

Thomson.

Include something like this in your stylesheet (links.css):

UL {
list-style-image: url("http://yourwebsite/bullet.gif");
}

In site_html_templates.pl find;

change it to something like;

The bold bit needs to be changed to the URL of your bullet / image.

Hope that helps

Or.....if it is the same image just add it to your link.html

Oh...I'm confused now [cry] Was he meaning the category listings, or the link listings? From the bit saying;

I was assuming it was the category listing he wanted an image next to. If it was the links he was refering to, then as Madona says, editing link.html would do the job

Sorry if I confused you!

Thanks for both tips - I ended up putting graphic bullets on both the category titles and the actual listings.

The result is at http://lovelife-books.com/links/pages/ if anyone wants to check it out. It's a work in progress and more of an experiment in using Links than anything else, so ignore the ssi errors etc.

Thanks again, much appreciated :).

Ok, so this really messed things up for me and I don't know how to fix it. A little help anyone?

Ok see this and change domain.com to your url it will work in site site_html_template

sub site_html_print_cat {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# This routine determines how the list of categories will look.
# We now use a table to split the category name up into two columns.
# For each category you can use the following variables:
#
# $url : The URL to go to that category
# $category_name : The category name with _ and / removed.
# $category_descriptions{$subcat}: The category description (if any).
# $numlinks : The number of links inside that category (and subcategories).
# $mod : The newest link inside of that category.
#
my (@subcat) = @_;
my ($url, $numlinks, $mod, $subcat, $category_name, $description, $output, $i);

$output = qq|<div class="margin"><table width="87%" border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3"><tr><td class="catlist" valign="top">\n|;

# and begin a new one (this lets us have category names in two columns).

Hey megri...thanks for the help. Sorry to make you go to the trouble. You might have missed it in my previous post but I already had it fixed. Stupid me, just made a careless mistake like I usually do.

Cheers anyway,
