Subcategory Globals
I have searched the forums and cannot find anything on subcategory globals.
What I am trying to do is have the main header put on the category pages like:

Home : Category : Subcategory1 : Subcategory2
by using <%title_linked%>

And have Subcategory2 only input into a table header by using another template global, except I don't know if there is one for just a subcategory???
Thanks...

Okay...

You can have the option of putting the title bar at the top of your cgi generated pages by using the <%title_linked%> global. It will display the directory tree (categories/subcategories) like so:
Home : Category : Subcategory1 : Subcategory2

I want to put the <%title_linked%> at the top of my page and lower down in a table I want to display only the Subcategory2, as a column heading...
Does this help....?

I don't have a good site to check, but there should be a way to get the current category.

You do know, you can see all the tags available in any template by inserting:

<%GT::Template::dump%>

Into the template.

I suggest putting it right before the closing </BODY> tag, as:

<P>
<%GT::Template::dump%>
</P>


That way you can see your page, then scroll down and see all the tags.

Thanks, found it.

If you want just the subcategory name anywhere on the page, the global is <%category_short%>
For anyone else that may need this info!!!
