Make sub-categories look like other galleries

Nimai

I have a category that has both galleries and sub-categories in it. The Sub-Categories appear first on the category page, in their own box. Then the Galleries are in a box below.
Is there any way to have the sub-categories and galleries all be together in the same box?

Not easily, no.

If you're a Power User or Pro, then you can fake it by hiding your sub-categories, and creating a gallery redirect with the same name as the sub-category.

Read post #163 in this thread. It contains javascript code that will merge your sub-categories and galleries into one box so they are not separate.

Hah! Drat~
If I'd only looked back here an hour ago, I wouldn't have had to write this:

//
// Move sub-categories to the top of the galleries box, and hide the sub-cat box
//
var gal = document.evaluate('//div[@id="galleriesBox"]/div[@class="boxBottom"]/div[@class="miniBox"]',document,null,6,null);
if( gal.snapshotLength > 0 )
{
  gal = gal.snapshotItem(0);
  var subcat = document.evaluate('//div[@id="subcategoriesBox"]/div[@class="boxBottom"]/div[@class="miniBox"]',document,null,6,null);
  for( var i = 0; div = subcat.snapshotItem(i); ++i )
  {
    gal.parentNode.insertBefore(div,gal);
  }
  document.getElementById('subcategoriesBox').style.display = 'none';
}

I bet the other post's solution is more elegant, anyway... going to take a look!
Thanks!

Is "document.evaluate" going to work in deployed versions of IE?

No worky. :cry

Well, back to your helpful post, then.
