title_linked in Detail Pages

Greetings:

I use the tag <%title_linked%> in my Detail pages to show the path to the listing ie. categories etc. I can't work out how to format it, but believe it is hard coded somewhere. I read elsewhere this may become deprecated and I should use:-

Code:
<%Links::Utils::format_title($main_title_loop, separator => $crumb_separator, no_escape_separator => 1, include_home => 1, link_type => 2)%>

However when I use the above code nothing shows ....

Any ideas?

Regards,

Clint.

Hi,

Not 100% sure without looking further into it, but I believe $main_title_loop should be $title_loop

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Thanks Andy:

Tried that .... no change. I don't know whether it could have anything to do with me using detailed_page.cgi (from Pugdog) ....

All the best,

Clint.

Hi,

Ahhh- yeah, that probably is why.

Which version are you using? Send it over to me, and I'll have a look at getting it to work for you =)

Try this (global adapted slightly from pugdog's post here):

<div><%linked_title ($ID,$Title,'>',2,0)%></div>

then create the the linked_title global:

Code:
sub { 
# ------------------------------------------------------------------ 
# Generate a linked title. 
#  
# call with <%linked_title ($LinkID, $Title, ':', 0, 0)%> 
# where the first two parameters are required, and you can 
# add parameters 3, 4 and 5 in order 
# 
    my $id  = $_[0]; 
    my $input  = $_[1]; 
    my $separator = $_[2] || ':'; 
    my $home  = $_[3] || 0; 
    my $complete = $_[4] || 0; 

    my (@dirs, $dir, $output, $path, $last, $db, $top); 

    $db  = $DB->table('Category'); 
    $top = Links::language('LINKS_TOP') || 'Top'; 

my ($cat_id, $cat_name) =  %{$DB->table('Links')->get_categories ($_[0])}; 
$input = "$cat_name/$_[1]"; 

    @dirs = split (/\//, $input); 
    $last = pop @dirs unless ($complete); 
    $output = $home ? qq| <a href="/">$top</a>&nbsp;$separator| : ''; 
    for (0 .. $#dirs) { 
        $path    = "/" . $db->as_url ( join "/", @dirs[0 .. $_] ); 
        $output .= qq| <a href="$CFG->{build_root_url}$path/$CFG->{build_index}">$dirs[$_]</a>&nbsp;$separator|; 
    } 
    if ($complete) { 
        chop $output; chop $output; 
    } 
    else { 
        $output .= " $last"; 
    } 
    $output=~ s/ & / &amp; /sg;  
    return $output; 
}

Can't remember what parameters 4 and 5 do exactly but this should get you started :).
