Re: display category path in link.html In reply to
this is a modification of
http://gossamer-threads.com/...NG&Number=147726
In template globals I added a global called link_category_id with this code:
Code:
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) {

$name =~ s/ /_/g;
$cat = "<a href=$name>$name</a>";

}
return $cat;
}
you might have to change the ahref around to work properly for your installation of links. and put <%link_category_id%> wherever you want it to work. i put it in link.html but i did this, so it only is shown when someone is searching:
Code:
<%if query%>
<a class="category_links" href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>"><%Title%></a>
Category: <%link_category_id%>
<%else%>
<a class="category_links" href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>"><%Title%></a>
<%endif%>

Hi:

The code doesn't work because:

Code:
$cat = "<a href=$name>$name</a>"

short like http://domain.com/cgi-bin/Category

For me this is not the correct path, but with this code:

Code:
$cat = "<a href=$CFG->{build_root_url}/$name>$name</a>";

Works fine!!!

Greetings!

Thank you in ahead for any posts :-)

I use the following global
Code:
sub {
my $id = shift;
my $cat_db = $DB->table('Category');
my $catlink = $DB->table('CatLinks','Category');
my %names = $catlink->select ('LinkID', 'Full_Name', { LinkID => $id })->fetchall_list;

my @link_cats;
foreach (keys %names) {

push @link_cats, {cat_name => Links::Build::build ('title_unlinked', $names{$_}), cat_url => $cat_db->as_url($names{$_})};
}
return { link_cats => \@link_cats };
}
together with the following code in link.html
Code:
<%loop link_cats%>
<a href="<%cat_url%>" class="dimmed"><%cat_name%><br />
<%endloop%>

Hello Yogi :-)

Thank you for the code! Anyway - it is not working :-( Let's see why:

1) I create global named "link_cats" and I put inside that global this code (which includes Paul's correction):

Code:


sub {
my $id = shift;
my $cat_db = $DB->table('Category');
my $catlink = $DB->table('CatLinks','Category');
my %names = $catlink->select ('LinkID', 'Full_Name', { LinkID => $id })->fetchall_list;

my @link_cats;
foreach (keys %names) {

push @link_cats, {cat_name => Links::Build::build ('title_unlinked', $names{$_}), cat_url => $cat_db->as_url($names{$_})};
}
return {link_cats} = \@link_cats };
}


2) Then I put following code inside my detailed.html:

Code:


<%loop link_cats%>
<a href="<%cat_url%>"><%cat_name%><br>
<%endloop%>


3) And the result is NOTHING. It doesn't show anything in the final page, just blank space.

Any suggestions?

First of all, what you call Paul's correction, is actually not a correction. Paul was citing the wrong code in my post, which I then corrected. My code should now be fine.

Second, you need to call you global something like "get_link_cats", not "link_cats", because that will be the name of the returned loop.

In your template you would then use:

<%get_link_cats($ID)%>
<%loop link_cats%>
<a href="<%cat_url%>"><%cat_name%><br />
<%endloop%>

This should work.

Hello Yogi Tongue

Thank you for your concern! Anyway - it is still not working as it should - it is much more better now, because it show at least something, but it still shows ONLY the last (in ABC order) of the selected categories. I think we are almost there, only the last correction is needed Sly

Thank you very much for your help Smile

Robo

P.S. You have interesting homepage Wink

You are right, it was actually only giving one category... and I haven't noticed it all the time....

Anyway, the follwoing works on my site, so it should also on yours,
Code:
sub {
my $id = shift;
my $cat_db = $DB->table('Category');
my $catlink = $DB->table('CatLinks','Category');
my @names = $catlink->select ({ LinkID => $id }, ['Full_Name'])->fetchall_list;
my @link_cats;
for (@names) {
push @link_cats, { cat_name => Links::Build::build ('title_unlinked',$_), cat_url => $cat_db->as_url($_)};
}
return { link_cats => \@link_cats };
}
Of course I have an interesting homepage Cool

Re: [yogi] display category path in link.html In reply to
Thank you! It is working right now!! Cool

For all the others... The final code is:

1) Create global named get_link_cats and put inside:

Code:


sub {
my $id = shift;
my $cat_db = $DB->table('Category');
my $catlink = $DB->table('CatLinks','Category');
my @names = $catlink->select ({ LinkID => $id }, ['Full_Name'])->fetchall_list;

my @link_cats;
for (@names) {

push @link_cats, { cat_name => Links::Build::build ('title_unlinked',$_), cat_url => $cat_db->as_url($_)};
}
return { link_cats => \@link_cats };
}


2) Then put this in your detailed template (or elsewhere):

Code:
<%get_link_cats($ID)%>
<%loop link_cats%>
<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpath/<%cat_url%>" target="_top"><%cat_name%></a><br>
<%endloop%>
And there you goo... Wink

Thanks to Yogi, here is his "final final" code which:
  1. includes ABC order
  2. can be used on any page, including add and modify pages

Code:


sub {
require Links::Build;
my $id = shift;
my $cat_db = $DB->table('Category');
my $catlink = $DB->table('CatLinks','Category');
$catlink->select_options ('ORDER BY Full_Name ASC');
my @names = $catlink->select ({ LinkID => $id }, ['Full_Name'])->fetchall_list;

my @link_cats;
for (@names) {

push @link_cats, { cat_name => Links::Build::build ('title_unlinked',$_), cat_url => $cat_db->as_url($_)};
}
return { link_cats => \@link_cats };
}
