pins to the eyes confused. Need help

[mikeoffy69]

So i have been pulling my hair out trying to get a 4th column added to my knowledge base. I am using inter-spire knowledge base software and have the developers version but i have it installed internal and not live on the web. So i will do my best to explain.

 

If you look at the picture you will see what I want. I would like to add a 4th column to the main categories section.

 

 

I am pretty sure I am editing the correct code. This is called the CategoriesPanel.php.  Here is the code if anyone can see where i would need to change to add a 4th column. I have messed with the $count over and over and can see the amount of categories change but its usual's not what i want.

 

<?php

CLASS AKB_CATEGORIES_PANEL extends AKB_PANEL
{
	/**
	* SetPanelSettings
	* This function is a chance to set any last minute global variables for
	* the template to use
	*
	* @return void
	*/
	function SetPanelSettings()
	{
		$GLOBALS['Categories'] = $this->GetCategoryTable();

		if ($GLOBALS['cleanUrls'] === true) {
			$arrURI = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
			$todo = $arrURI[sizeof($arrURI)-1];
		} else if (isset($_GET['todo'])) {
			$todo = $_GET['todo'];
		} else {
			$todo = '';
		}

		switch ($todo) {
			case '__addarticle':
				$GLOBALS['AddArticle'] = '1';
			break;
		}


	}

	/**
	* GetCategoryTable
	* Get an html table of categories for displaying to the user
	*
	* @return string the html to display
	*/
	function GetCategoryTable()
	{
		if (isset($GLOBALS['CategoryId'])) {
			$catid = (int) $GLOBALS['CategoryId'];
		} else {
			$catid = 0;
		}

		$output = '';
		$count = 0;

		$GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_HELPER']->getCatsInfo();

		if (isset($GLOBALS['categoryRestrictOption']) && $GLOBALS['categoryRestrictOption'] == "1") {
			$accessible_cats = $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_HELPER']->GetPermittedCats();
		} else {
			$accessible_cats = false;
		}

		if (isset($GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_HELPER']->tree->nodesByPid[$catid])
			&& is_array($GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_HELPER']->tree->nodesByPid[$catid])
			&& !empty($GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_HELPER']->tree->nodesByPid[$catid])) {
			// Return a 3xn table of categories ordered by name
			$output = $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_TEMPLATE']->GetSnippet('CategoryGridHeader');

			foreach ($GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_HELPER']->tree->nodesByPid[$catid] as $rowid) {
				$row = $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_HELPER']->catsById[$rowid];

				if (($accessible_cats !== false) && (!in_array($row['categoryid'],$accessible_cats)) && ($row['security'] == "private")) {
					continue;
				}

				$children = $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_HELPER']->GetNumQuestionsInCategory($row['categoryid']);

				// Every 3rd category print start a new row
				if ($count % CATEGORIES_PER_ROW == 0) {
					$output .= $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_TEMPLATE']->GetSnippet('CategoryRowHeader');
				}

				$GLOBALS['Icon'] = $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_TEMPLATE']->DisablePlaceholders($row['icon']);
				$GLOBALS['Description'] = strip_tags($row['description'],"<a>");
				$GLOBALS['Link'] = GetUrl('category', $row['categoryid']);
				$GLOBALS['Text'] = htmlspecialchars($GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_TEMPLATE']->DisablePlaceholders($row['name']),ENT_QUOTES,$GLOBALS['charset']);
				$GLOBALS['QuestionCount'] = $children;

				$output .= $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_TEMPLATE']->GetSnippet('CategoryRowCell');

				// Every 3rd category end a row
				if ($count % CATEGORIES_PER_ROW == CATEGORIES_PER_ROW - 1) {
					$output .= $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_TEMPLATE']->GetSnippet('CategoryRowFooter');
				}

				$count++;
			}

			if ($count % CATEGORIES_PER_ROW != CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) {
				$output .= $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_TEMPLATE']->GetSnippet('CategoryRowFooter');
			}

			$output .= $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_TEMPLATE']->GetSnippet('CategoryGridFooter');
		} else {
			if ($catid == 0) {
				$output .= $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_TEMPLATE']->GetSnippet('CategoryRowHeader');
				$output .= $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_TEMPLATE']->GetSnippet('CategoryRowCellNoCategories');
				$output .= $GLOBALS['AKB_CLASS_TEMPLATE']->GetSnippet('CategoryRowFooter');
				$GLOBALS['HideSubList'] = '';
			} else {
				if (isInlineHelp()) {
					$GLOBALS['HideSubList'] = 'none';
				} else {
					$output .= GetLang('catNoSubCategories');
				}
			}
		}

		return $output;
	}

}

?>

 

 

 

I appreciate anyone's help on this matter.

It looks like the constant CATEGORIES_PER_ROW is controlling how many columns are being displayed. You need to find where this constant is being defined, which is probably in some configuration file. Currently CATEGORIES_PER_ROW is set to 3. You need to change it to 4 in order for the 4gth column to display.

CATEGORIES_PER_ROW... change that to 4
