Categories from a link in the detailed page

Hi,

I´m using the following global to include the categories from a link in the detailed page

-----------------------------
sub {
my $tags = shift;
my $seen;
my $id = $tags->{'ID'};
my $db = $DB->table ('Category','CatLinks');
my $sth = $db->select ( { LinkID => $id }, ['Name','Full_Name'] );
my $cat;
while (my ($name,$full_name) = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
if ($seen->{$name}) { next; }
$full_name =~ s/ /_/g;
$cat .= qq~<a href="$CFG->{build_root_url}/$full_name/index.html">$name</a><br>~;
$seen->{$name} = 1;
}
return $cat;
}
-------------------------------

I would need some categories not to appear. For example the categories with these Id:

ID=234
ID=3
ID=112

Could someone indicate what I should do on the global?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

This should do it:

Code:
sub { 

   my $tags = shift; 
   my $seen; 
   my $id = $tags->{'ID'}; 

   my $db = $DB->table ('Category','CatLinks'); 
   my $sth = $db->select ( { LinkID => $id }, ['ID','Name','Full_Name'] ); 
   my $cat; 
   while (my ($id,$name,$full_name) = $sth->fetchrow_array) { 

     if ($id =~ /^234|3|112$/) { next; }
     if ($seen->{$name}) { next; } 
     $full_name =~ s/ /_/g; 
     $cat .= qq~<a href="$CFG->{build_root_url}/$full_name/index.html">$name</a><br>~; 
     $seen->{$name} = 1; 
   } 

  return $cat; 

}

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Re: [JoseML] Categories from a link in the detailed page In reply to

Hi, I`ve been using:
--------------
sub {
my $tags = shift;
my $seen;
my $id = $tags->{'ID'};
my $db = $DB->table ('Category','CatLinks');
my $sth = $db->select ( { LinkID => $id }, ['ID','Name','Full_Name'] );
my $cat;
while (my ($id,$name,$full_name) = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
if ($id =~ /^234|3|112$/) { next; }
if ($seen->{$name}) { next; }
$full_name =~ s/ /_/g;
$cat .= qq~<a href="$CFG->{build_root_url}/$full_name/index.html">$name</a><br>~;
$seen->{$name} = 1;
}

return $cat;
}
------------------
but I need for the whole name of the category to be read so I changed it this way:

$cat .= qq~<a href="$CFG->{build_root_url}/$full_name/index.html">$full_name</a><br>~;

However the name (Category/subcategory1/subcategory2 ... etc) is too long.

I need someone to tell me how I can break line.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [JoseML] Categories from a link in the detailed page In reply to

Hi,

I would suggest more like changing "/" with " / " in the Full_Name, that way - once it overlaps, it will just go onto a newline on its own :)

Code:
sub { 
	my $tags = shift; 
	my $seen; 
	my $id = $tags->{'ID'}; 
	my $db = $DB->table ('Category','CatLinks'); 
	my $sth = $db->select ( { LinkID => $id }, ['ID','Name','Full_Name'] ); 
	my $cat; 
	while (my ($id,$name,$full_name) = $sth->fetchrow_array) { 

		if ($id =~ /^234|3|112$/) { next; } 
		if ($seen->{$name}) { next; } 

		$full_name =~ s/ /_/g; 

		my $full_name2 = $full_name; 
                     $full_name2 =~ s|/| / |g; 
		$cat .= qq~<a href="$CFG->{build_root_url}/$full_name/index.html">$full_name2</a><br>~;  
		$seen->{$name} = 1; 
	} 

	return $cat; 
}

Cheers

Re: [Andy] Categories from a link in the detailed page In reply to

Thanks Andy for your help but I have tried the modification and it doesn´t work.

href="$CFG->{build_root_url}/$full_name/index.html" ----> It's OK

>$full_name2< ----> Nothing happens

Thanks again,

JoseML

Hi,

Did you change the WHOLE global (not just the one line) ?

Should work fine.

Re: [JoseML] Categories from a link in the detailed page In reply to

Hi,

So you tried this:

Code:
sub { 
	my $tags = shift; 
	my $seen; 
	my $id = $tags->{'ID'}; 
	my $db = $DB->table ('Category','CatLinks'); 
	my $sth = $db->select ( { LinkID => $id }, ['ID','Name','Full_Name'] ); 
	my $cat; 
	while (my ($id,$name,$full_name) = $sth->fetchrow_array) { 

		if ($id =~ /^234|3|112$/) { next; } 
		if ($seen->{$name}) { next; } 

		$full_name =~ s/ /_/g; 

		my $full_name2 = $full_name; 
                     $full_name2 =~ s|/| / |g;
		$cat .= qq~<a href="$CFG->{build_root_url}/$full_name/index.html">$full_name2</a><br>~;  
		$seen->{$name} = 1; 
	} 

	return $cat; 
}

I havn't tested it, but I can't see any reason why that wouldn't work ;)
