mindy1978 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hello, I have been trying to figure out a php scripting problem for weeks now. I basically know nothing about php and that is the problem. I am setting up a directory and I am working with tpl files and php. I have set up almost 400 categories. Entering category name {$cat_name}, category description {$cat_note}, category keywords{$cat_keywords}. The template file pulls the description and keywords for the meta tags and description for each page. This works fine. I want to pull the page <title/> and html header from {$cat_name} which is the category name. I cannot figure out how. Right now it pulls info from where_am_i, showing the directories and subdirectories, etc. On my list pages I would also like to list the category name and description on every page even if there are no links in that category. The {$cat_name} and {$cat_note} fields just don't work on the listing pages.In my sql database I changed to {$cat_name} to a text field but when I try to modify the php, nothing works. I tried to change the following script: where_am_i ($cat_id, 1); generate_category ('list', $cat_id); generate_html_header ($txt['where_am_i'], $row['cat_note'], $row['cat_keywords']); to: where_am_i ($cat_id, 1); generate_category ('list', $cat_id); generate_html_header ($txt['cat_name'], $row['cat_note'], $row['cat_keywords']); This is some of the other scripting I thought I may need to change to get this to work, but I just don't know how: // get keyword & description for HTML HEADER $sql = "SELECT cat_note, cat_keywords FROM d97_category WHERE cat_id = '$cat_id' LIMIT 1"; $res = sql_query ($sql); $row = sql_fetch_array ($res); and: // categories information $tmp_cat = ''; for ($j = 1; $j <= $config['cat_multiple']; $j++) { $c = "category_$j"; $c = $row[$c]; if (!empty($c)) { $tmp_cat[$k] = where_am_i($c, 0); $k++; } } // sort category reset ($tmp_cat); asort ($tmp_cat); while (list ($key, $val) = each ($tmp_cat)) $row['list_category'] .= "$val<BR>\n"; I am hoping that someone can help me and give me some instruction. I am getting so frustrated. Thanks so much. Mindy You can view the directory at: http://www.athomedirectory.comI have asked this question at another forum buy can't get it resolved.
