Re: all category display on frontpage
moving the categories is not as tough as you might expect.

Open up index.php in your classipress theme folder and find this block of code beginning on line 7:
Code:

<ul id="catnav"> <li<?php if ( is_home() ) { echo " class=\"current-cat\""; } ?>><?php _e('Latest Listings','cp'); ?> <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=0&hide_empty=true&orderby=name&order=asc&title_li='); ?> [*]<div class="clear"></div>[/list]
This line of code displays each category as list items within an unordered list:
Code:

<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=0&hide_empty=true&orderby=name&order=asc&title_li='); ?>
If you know a bit about html and have a working knowledge of php, you could display that content how ever you like.

Of course, any changes to the core files will make updating much harder, since the updated classipress will override any modifications you make. So beware of that.

Re: all category display on frontpage
Sites with a ton of categories should build a mega tab like this customer has done. I'm not sure what his code looks like but you should ask him to share.

It would be a great add-on feature if he ended up sharing.

I hope to have time this weekend to work on an elegant solution with Mootools...

Thanks for the tips

Re: all category display on frontpage
I recommend looking for a solution with JQuery since ClassiPress and WordPress both use it. MooTools is good too but you will be loading another .js file and also might have some conflicts down the road.

That would be great. Others including me might find great use of the code that you will be sharing.

Please help our moderating team work more efficiently by not sending us support questions via PM. You can read more about how AppThemes support works here. However, you can send a PM to follow up and remind me if I missed your support request/thread.

Thank you and have a nice day.
