Country/State/City
The catagories for my Links go:

Country/State/City

Country - Top Category
State - Sub-Category
City - Sub-Sub-Category

I would like to know how I can get my <%City%>, <%State%>, <%Country%> information that I display on my Detailed pages without having to ask the user 3 additional redundent questions, since it is the category they pick.


Thank you all very much for your help!

Just create the Country, State, and City tags on the fly with a little Perl magic called split when you make the details pages... In site_html_detailed in site_html_templates.pl, add:
Code:
my $temp = $rec{Category};
$temp =~ s/_/ /;
($rec{Country}, $rec{State}, $rec{City}) = split /\//, $temp;
after:
Code:
my %rec = @_;

You can chop the first two lines to one line....

$temp = $rec{Category} =~ s/_/ /g;

You also need a g;
