How to Display Categories Horizontally
 

I'm not that conversant with CSS or PHP but I've been trying everything to try and figure out a way to display the list of Categories on the Browse page as a horizontal list instead of a vertical list that it defaults to whenever you use the <CATEGORY_LINKS_AS_LIST> tag. I am using version 1.7.1 and modyfying the Simple Template to suit my needs.

I have tried modifying the css files every which way I could but no luck. I read somewhere that I need to edit the categories.php file. I have no idea what to edit in this file. The outcome I want to achieve is:

Category A (12) | Category B (5) | Category C (34) | Category D (9)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Much thanks in advance...Kourosh

Somebody please help!

What you need to do is open up the addon paged_archive.php, and do a search for "$category_Link_List". Every time you see $category_Link_List .= "someting...<br />"; remove the <br /> and replace it with a pipe "|" or whatever else you want.

Example:
On line #201, you'll see this.
Change it so it looks like this:
Continue to search until all of the "$category_Link_List" items are altered.

Thank you!
 

Jay,

Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it!

One last question regarding this.

Your recommendation works like a charm. However, is there a way to not have it put the pipe " | " after the last category? You can see what I mean at:

Quick and easy solution is to use rtrim...

Example,

On line 208 you see this:
Right above that on line 207 add this:

Thanks!
