Hi -

I plan to run category-specific SSIs on my "detailed view" pages, and would like a way to insert the (unlinked) base category name (ie: Desserts vs Desserts/Cookies) into the code where appropriate, in much the same way I call <%Description%> and other variables.

For some reason, what works on the category page (<%category_name%>) does not work on the detailed view. I have not been able to find out how to do this (have checked forums, faqs and looked through the code as much as I could - but I'm not super perl savvy). Basically, I just need a way to call the Category name on the completed detailed pages.

If anyone has ideas, they would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hi,

depending how you build your detailed pages you need to modify the code of:

1. If static: nph-build.cgi
find the sub build_detailed_view {

change:

print DETAIL &site_html_detailed ($link, { grand_total => $GRAND_TOTAL, title_linked => $title_linked });

to :

print DETAIL &site_html_detailed ($link, { grand_total => $GRAND_TOTAL, title_linked => $title_linked, cat_title => $category->{'Name'} });

now you can use the <%cat_title%> tag in your detailed pages

2. if dynamic : page.cgi
find: sub generate_detailed_page {

change:

print &site_html_detailed ($link, { grand_total => $GRAND_TOTAL, title_linked => $title_linked}, $in);

to:

print &site_html_detailed ($link, { grand_total => $GRAND_TOTAL, title_linked => $title_linked, cat_title => $category->{'Name'} }, $in);

hope it helps,
regards alexander

Thank you! This worked perfectly - it was exactly what I was looking for.

I really appreciate your help!
