Modifying category list layout menu item

Post by etdsbastar » Sat Jun 26, 2010 5:21 pm

Hello friends,

I want something with my category list layout to be removed. There is a grey colored box i think its for description which is already switched off from the category list layout settings but still the box is being displayed as shown in the screenshot, which is looking very awkward, I want that to be removed if show description is set to be hidden.

Please help.

Unless I am missing something, you have control over all of that display from the parameters in the menu link for the category list layout.

Code: Select all

Menu link parameters (Basic):
Table Headings
Date Column 	
Date Format 		
Filter 
Filter Field
Menu link parameters (Advanced):
Display Select

I think you are saying about the screenshot attached, I am having full control over that but I think its something related to my theme settings or some kind of php programming, will you please tell me that in which file of the component i can hide that description grey box as specified in first screenshot.

Having no problem with archives menu item, as shown in the screenshot. I want same display for other category list menu items.

Even the category blog layout is being displaying properly without the grey box, only problem is with the category list layout.

OK, you confused me by displaying the table headings box which is what I though you meant. Get firebug for firefox and use it to identify where the gray box is coming from.

There are clear instructions for learning how to use firebug available - just look around.

Your gray area is http://www.etdsonline.com/templates/ja_ ... mplate.css line 153

Code: Select all

td, div {
font-size:100%;
}
You can find the color at template.css (line 25)

Code: Select all

body#bd {
color:#333333;
}
It is all inherited from div#ja-current-content

Still not clear, actually I want it just for the Category List Menu Item as I told before, If I am going to change it according to your suggestions (i tried once), its changing the complete color system in my site.

Please help in other way...

If this can't be resolved then please tell me how to set the size of that grey box i mean width i tried but no success, actually its overlapping the advertisement section on right hand side as shown in the screenshot red coloured circle below:

Just tell me to decrease the width, I want it to be resized to the level of red plus sign as shown on second screenshot below:
