[vekia]

you haven't got left column on your website. this is why you don't see it.

[alin.dorobantu]

Thx,

 

How can make it ?

[vekia]

you have to develop it in your theme.

it's non default theme so it's hard to say what you have to change (no one knows sources of your theme)

if this is paid solution, if i were you - i will ask theme developer for this.

Hi

 

make sure blockcatigories module is enable and put this code in product_list.css in css folder of your theme folder.

 

#left_column {display:block !important;}

[vekia]

global.css 2619

#left_column {
display: none;
}

remove display:none;

Hy,

 

There are any maodule to edit .css file from admin prestashop ?

 

Because till i dont have acces at ftp or cpanel.

 

Thx,

[vekia]

unfortunately i don't know any module for edit css files from back office.

but you can try with this:

 

install free html block module, open configuraiton page of addon then:

 

1) from left hand side block select "header" 

2) to the right hand side window paste this code:

<style>
#left_column {
display: block!important;
}
</style>

It was perfect, thx

 

but the subcategories arent shown

[vekia]

i see, 

what module you use for categories block?

[alin.dorobantu]

i think that the default one

 

[vekia]

it looks like it's default category module.

can you try to clear cache?

this module uses cache, so i suppose that you see there old cached version.

if this will not work, try to install this one:

block categories with counter

it's a free alternative of categories block module.

the same problem:

http://www.danielafashion.ro/index.php?id_category=6&controller=category&id_lang=1

[alin.dorobantu]

it's ok

in chrome dont show nothing, but in IE it's ok

[alin.dorobantu]

even in IE it's a problem

[alin.dorobantu]

i clear cash and the same problem

[vekia]

to the module that i suggested to use before(html block free) add this code:

#categories_block_left li a {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #463837;
clear: both;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 2px;
padding: 6px 15px;
text-decoration: none;
width: 100%;
display: block;
}

(add it between <style></style> tags that you added it there before)

[alin.dorobantu]

Charming, works perfectly

 

Thank you so much, you are very good at this platform.

[alin.dorobantu]

Now a have another problem

it show even categories and subcategories, and i need only subcategories on the category page.

 

http://www.danielafashion.ro/index.php?id_category=7&controller=category&id_lang=1

[alin.dorobantu]

Problem solved,

 

I put another li in the css #categories_block_left, the final code look like this:

 

#categories_block_left li li a { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #463837; clear: both; color: #FFFFFF; float: left; margin-bottom: 2px; padding: 6px 15px; text-decoration: none; width: 100%; display: block; }

 

Thx man,

[vekia]
