Currently I have our program working through the login process. If I have a company that has 20 listings and they want to modify one of them.......you can't tell what category they are in unless you click the radio button and go into edit. See the following photo is there a way to list what categories are associated with these links?

Here is a global which I use to show category or categories below link
Hope that helps.

May help to show how to use it

Call the global "get_links_cat_bread", and then call with:


(from memory, the template is modify_select.html I believe)

Cheers

Huh

I'm still unsure exactly how to do that.

I'm in the modify_select.html template and there is the callout for the links loop.....I was assuming that the category code would go after the <%include link.html%> ....however I've never worked with globals so I'm a little unsure exactly what to do. Sort of new to this.

<form action="<%config.db_cgi_url%>/modify.cgi" method="post">
<%~loop link_results_loop%>
<input type="radio" name="LinkID" value="<%escape_html ID%>" class="radio"<%if isValidated eq No or isExpired or isUnpaid%> disabled="disabled"<%endif%> />
<%include link.html%>
<%~endloop%>
<input type="submit" value="Modify Link" class="submit" />
</form>

I only want to show the categories when you click on modify. Where exactly would I put that code?

Hi,

You would call it something like this:

I put that code exactly as you had it and when I go to look at the modify links it gives me this error after the radio button

Category: Error: Variable 'get_links_cat_bread' is not a code reference

Did you add this global:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...ge._P308971/#p308971

...by going into Build > Template Globals, then going to the bottom of the page and putting that code into the TEXTAREA, and then "'get_links_cat_bread" as the new globals name?

Did exactly that and now getting

CGI ErrorThe specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

Went and created a new global called (get_links_cat_breat) and entered the following:

sub {
my ($rec) = @_;
my $id = $rec->{ID};
my $db = $DB->table ('Category','CatLinks');
my $sth = $db->select ( { 'CatLinks.LinkID' => $id }, ['Category.ID', 'Category.Full_Name'] );
my $cat;
while (my ($id,$name) = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
my $title = Links::Build::build ('title_linked', { name => $name, complete => 1 });
$cat .= "".$title."<br />";
}
return $cat;
}

THEN WENT TO MODIFY_SELECT.HTML AND ENTERED THE FOLLOWING exactly where you told me


Category: <%get_links_cat_bread($ID)%>

You called it get_links_cat_breat or get_links_cat_bread ?

bread

I get the cgi error then.

I went back and walked through it again. Would it be because we have the login/register implemented? We don't have an open site you must login and register.

We are also running version: 3.3.0 on SQL server if that makes a difference.

Try just:

<%get_links_cat_bread%>

Hi,

Mmm, using a SQL server shouldn't make any difference (although most people use mySQL)

Do you have any kinda error logs you can check? As far as I can see, the code should work fine.

Did that too and get the CGI error.....this seems like it shouldn't be as hard as it is.

finally got it to work. Moved where the call out is....Thanks a million!!!!
