Customising email-add.txt to inlcude deep link

I am pretty close to having it set up so that I can include a deep link to the category that the site was submitted to.

I have added this:

<a href="http://www.site.com/<%Category%>/"><%category_short%></a>

The <%category_short%> produces an Unknown Tag: 'category_short as does <%Name%>

Is there a secret tag that I can use to just get the bottom level category name :)
Cheers

Re: [ukseo] Customising email-add.txt to inlcude deep link In reply to

Try this global call at the top of the email-add.txt file...

<%load_links_catname($ID)%>

...and then create a new global called load_links_catname, with the following code;

Code:
sub { 
   my $catID = $DB->table('CatLinks')->select( ['CategoryID'], { LinkID => $_[0] } )->fetchrow; 
   my $table = $DB->table('Category'); 
   my $cat_details = $table->select( { ID => $catID } )->fetchrow_hashref; 
   my $name = $cat_details->{Full_Name}; 
   my $sname = $cat_details->{Name}; 
   my $url = $CFG->{build_root_url} . "/" . $table->as_url($name); 
   return qq{<a href="$url">$sname</a>}; 
}

Untested, but should work :)

Re: [ukseo] Customising email-add.txt to inlcude deep link In reply to

Ah, ok. Try changing;

$DB->as_url($name);

to;

$table->as_url($name);

...as I had before I changed it to $DB <G>

Re: [Andy] Customising email-add.txt to inlcude deep link In reply to

thanks once again Andy

That works nicely.

I still dont get the actual category name though, As if you were viewing the bottom level breadcrumb for example. Do that make sense?

Re: [ukseo] Customising email-add.txt to inlcude deep link In reply to

Glad it works :)

I've modified it for you above, so that it should now produce;

<a href="URL_TO_CATEGORY">NAME</a>

Hope that helps :)
