sub categories on one line

[drwtwn312]

Is there any hacks or addons that would let me put the different a-z on one line linking to the categories  if i went a-z twice it would be horribly long and would not look good at all.

I can see why this would be required on your site.  As far as I know this has not been coded yet.

Well I thought there may be a way to work this, not as a hack, just a workaround, and it's quite easy, just tedious.

Create all the categories.  Your first main cat (metal) id is 2, then do the 26 subcats(you already have the first 2, ids 5 & 6), so they would have ids 5 - 30.

Now edit the properties of the main cat (cat 2), and use bbcode to include a link to each cat in the category description, for example, for you 'Metal' cat;

Code Select Expand

Then go into config, and set the ' Number of levels of categories to display' to 1, and the ' Show first level album thumbnails in categories' to No.

This is what you should then see;
