How Can I attribute different colors to Categories ?

[romful]

Hi everybody,

I use the yget template and I would like to attribute different colors to each category like Wikio.com for example and the last template MollioBeat.

Thanks you

i created the category colors a while ago. To learn how to do it, take a look at link_summary.tpl from the mollio-beat template for example.

To give pieces of your sitedesign the right category colors, do in your tpl files something like this:

<div id="categorycolor{$category_id}">

That renders a div with the id "categorycolor1" if the category id was 1, the id "categorycolor2" if the category id was 2, etc.

Then go to your CSS file and give those div's some styling:

#categorycolor1 {background:#ff6600;}
#categorycolor2 {background:#ff0000;}
#categorycolor3 {background:#ccc;}
etc...

That's it!! Happy coding!
