I would like to make one of my categories stand out, for instance, it is now green and I
would like to make it have a background of blue, however just one category not all of
them.
Is this possible?

| There is a Forum Theme MOD available from Snitzbitz - You could try modifying it so that it works for categories in stead of forums. |

It should be with an if statement. Like just a a quick think and we say it is catergory id 3 you want highlighted:
if Cat_ID = "3" then
Response.Write "<a href=""default.asp?CAT_ID=" & CatID & """ title=""Highlighted Cat""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""#0066cc""><b>" & ChkString(CatName,"display") & "</b></font></a></td>" & vbNewline
else
Response.Write "<a href=""default.asp?CAT_ID=" & CatID & """ title=""View only the Forums in this Category""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strCategoryFontColor & """><b>" & ChkString(CatName,"display") & "</b></font></a></td>" & vbNewline
end if
I am not sure if that will work, but I am sure that just alittle tweaking and it would work for you.
I hope it helps.
Cheers. |

In default.asp I have been playing with it to have some minor success with:
If you look for:Call DoHideCategory(CatID)
And then replace this line: Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & strCategoryCellColor & """ colspan=""" & sGetColspan(5,5) & """ valign=""top"">"
with this: if Cat_ID = "3" then
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""#0099cc"" colspan=""" & sGetColspan(5,5) & """ valign=""top"">"
else
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & strCategoryCellColor & """ colspan=""" & sGetColspan(5,5) & """ valign=""top"">"
end if It allows the Category to be highlighted when it is selected. Still need to work on it a bit more. I hope it points you in the right direction.

Yes, thats very cool I was able to get that results also, however all I really need is
for the initial page to display the highlighted category, before one selects it.

Still playing with that. Just have a heap of other stuff to do before I can spend a bit of time on it, but bear with me and I am sure that we can come up with a solution soon.

OK, played with it some more and have come up with the following:
In Snitz 3.4.05 in a untouched default.asp you need to change the following:
Find the following code at Line 467: Call DoHideCategory(CatID)
Response.Write " <tr>" & vbNewline & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & strCategoryCellColor & """ colspan=""" & sGetColspan(6,5) & """ valign=""top"">"
'##### This code will specify whether or not to show the forums under a category #####
HideForumCat = strUniqueID & "HideCat" & CatID
if Request.Cookies(HideForumCat) = "Y" then
Response.Write "<a href=""" & ScriptName & "?" & HideForumCat & "=N&CAT_ID=" & Cat_ID & """>" & getCurrentIcon(strIconPlus,"Expand This Category","") & "</a>"
else
Response.Write "<a href=""" & ScriptName & "?" & HideForumCat & "=Y&CAT_ID=" & Cat_ID & """>" & getCurrentIcon(strIconMinus,"Collapse This Category","") & "</a>"
end if
if Cat_ID = "" then
Response.Write " <a href=""default.asp?CAT_ID=" & CatID & """ title=""View only the Forums in this Category""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strCategoryFontColor & """><b>" & ChkString(CatName,"display") & "</b></font></a> </td>" & vbNewline
else
Response.Write " <font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strCategoryFontColor & """><b>" & ChkString(CatName,"display") & "</b></font> </td>" & vbNewline
end if
'##### Above code will specify whether or not to show the forums under a category #####
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & strCategoryCellColor & """ align=""center"" valign=""top"" nowrap><b><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>"
if (mLev = 4 or mLev = 3) or (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") then
call CategoryAdminOptions()
elseif (mLev > 0) then
call CategoryMemberOptions()
else
Response.Write(" ")
end if
Response.Write "</font></b></td>" & vbNewline
Response.Write " </tr>" & vbNewline
chkDisplayHeader = falseReplace with the following: Call DoHideCategory(CatID)
Response.Write " <tr>" & vbNewline
if CatName = CatNameHighLight then
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & CatNameColor & """ colspan=""" & sGetColspan(6,5) & """ valign=""top"">"
else
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & strCategoryCellColor & """ colspan=""" & sGetColspan(6,5) & """ valign=""top"">"
end if
'##### This code will specify whether or not to show the forums under a category #####
HideForumCat = strUniqueID & "HideCat" & CatID
if Request.Cookies(HideForumCat) = "Y" then
Response.Write "<a href=""" & ScriptName & "?" & HideForumCat & "=N&CAT_ID=" & Cat_ID & """>" & getCurrentIcon(strIconPlus,"Expand This Category","") & "</a>"
else
Response.Write "<a href=""" & ScriptName & "?" & HideForumCat & "=Y&CAT_ID=" & Cat_ID & """>" & getCurrentIcon(strIconMinus,"Collapse This Category","") & "</a>"
end if
if Cat_ID = "" then
Response.Write " <a href=""default.asp?CAT_ID=" & CatID & """ title=""View only the Forums in this Category""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strCategoryFontColor & """><b>" & ChkString(CatName,"display") & "</b></font></a> </td>" & vbNewline
else
Response.Write " <font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strCategoryFontColor & """><b>" & ChkString(CatName,"display") & "</b></font> </td>" & vbNewline
end if
'##### Above code will specify whether or not to show the forums under a category #####
if CatName = CatNameHighLight then
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & CatNameColor & """ align=""center"" valign=""top"" nowrap><b><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>"
else
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & strCategoryCellColor & """ align=""center"" valign=""top"" nowrap><b><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>"
end if
if (mLev = 4 or mLev = 3) or (lcase(strNoCookies) = "1") then
call CategoryAdminOptions()
elseif (mLev > 0) then
call CategoryMemberOptions()
else
Response.Write(" ")
end if
Response.Write "</font></b></td>" & vbNewline
Response.Write " </tr>" & vbNewline
chkDisplayHeader = falseNow at the top at about Line 45 add the following:CatNameHighLight = "(put in the name of the category to highlight minus the brackets)"
CatNameColor = "(add your color you want to show as the highlight minus the brackets; i.e.: #0099cc)" I hope that is easy enough to uderstand. If you are having issues NiteOwl, send me your default.asp and I will edit it for you.
<edit>This is now updated to suit the moderator columns</edit> |

Is this the expected format at line ~45
CatNameHighLight = "(C H A T - F O R U M)"
CatNameColor = "(#0099cc)"
I am close but not quite there I suspect.

| No need for the ( ) (brakets), but I am glad it worked for you. So where abouts is it being used. Would like to see it working on another site rather than my own.. |

Update: It occurred to me that as the administrator I see more, so I logged in as a
regular user and the last cell does not appear so its not dk blue, so my users will
never see the problem, I will set the test account to be a moderator and you can see
what i am seeing. Would this be easy to fix?

The test site did not work, can not find it.
It would be easy to fix. Just need to look at your default.asp file and it should be fine. If you want to send an email to webmaster [at] classicmotorcycling.com.au with it attached I will look at it for you.
I have just made a general area in the MOD I just created to be viewed by all. It is at http://www.classicmotorcycling.com.au/forum/ and you will notice that I have got the "Eligibilty Area" highlighted in red, to set it aside from the rest of the site. I do not have any issues with the line not showing correctly.
This mod can be changed to include a graphic for the category if needed. Let me know if you want me to look at your default.asp file NightOwl..
