directory templates was created by KingoftheRoad

I found the directory view is very useful. Now I want to make round corners inside the directory view.

Anybody know where to edit to insert the four divs so as to make round corners inside the directory view as illustrated in the screen captured?

Many thanks.

Seth

Hello,
this is only a quick search and suggestion ;-)

Take a look here:

flexicontent/components/com_flexicontent/views/flexicontent/tmpl/default_categories.php

see after line #61

There is the column, Category and SubCategory output.
Right after the H2 headline output, you will find the UL list at line #75:

Code:

...
	<ul class="catdets cat<?php echo $sub->id; ?>">
		<?php
		foreach ($sub->subcats as $subcat) :?>
			<li>
				[url=<?php echo JRoute::_( FlexicontentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($subcat->slug) ); ?>]<?php echo $this->escape($subcat->title); ?>[/url]
				<?php if ($this->params->get('showassignated')) : ?>
				<span class="small"><?php echo $subcat->assignedsubitems != null ? '('.$subcat->assignedsubitems.'/'.$subcat->assignedcats.')' : '(0/'.$subcat->assignedcats.')'; ?></span>
				<?php endif; ?>
			</li>
		<?php 
		endforeach; ?>
	</ul>
...

I guess you will have to surround this part with the additional DIV containers.
Good luck.

Thank you so much. I will try and post back the result here.

Anybody knows whether Flexicontent supports MVC override, so that I can copy the folder flexicontent/components/com_flexicontent/views to Joomla/templates/Mytemplate/html/com_flexicontent/views and make the changes there?

Thanks.

Successful to add the four Divs.

But failed to do MVC template override.

I tried :
1) Copy flexicontent/components/com_flexicontent/views to Joomla/templates/Mytemplate/html/com_flexicontent/views

or
2) Copy flexicontent/components/com_flexicontent/views to Joomla/templates/Mytemplate/html/com_flexicontent

Both failed.

That means I have to modified the file Joomla/components/com_flexicontent/views/flexicontent/tmpl/default_categories.php directly and modify again everytime I do upgrade....

Any advices?

Thanks.

or you use the templating possibilities of Flexicontent, make your own template, and it will not be modified when there is a component upgrade

Using the default template is IMHO not the best idea

You are right, but the directory output is not included in the template structure!? So, the MVC-override method would be the only way with out a core modification... if this method does not work (i can´t confirm this issue at the moment, sorry), it would be a good and simple addition for the next release!!! A bunch of extra DIVs does not hurt, right? ;-)
