Re: [blecchi] Problem related categories In reply to
The code to change is in nph-build.cgi, in the sub_build_category_pages:

# Calculate the related entries and put in a <LI> list.
@related = split(/\Q$db_delim\E/, $related); $related = "";
foreach $relation (@related) {
$related .= qq|<li><a href="$build_root_url/|;
$related .= &urlencode($relation);
$related .= qq|/$build_index">|;
$related .= &build_clean($relation);
$related .= "</a></li>";
}

To make it a horizontal list, with commas, do this:

# Calculate the related entries and put in a <LI> list.
@related = split(/\Q$db_delim\E/, $related); $related = "";
foreach $relation (@related) {
$related .= qq|<a href="$build_root_url/|;
$related .= &urlencode($relation);
$related .= qq|/$build_index">|;
$related .= &build_clean($relation);
$related .= "</a>, ";
}

Then in your template, remove these:

<!-- Related Categories -->
<%if related%>
<h2>Related Categories:</h2>
<ul><%related%></ul>
<%endif%>

$related .= "</a>($numlinks) ";

I have done as you have pointed out to me but the number doesn't go out you see example http://lnx.nauticalink.it/...rtali_della_Nautica/

# Calculate the related entries and put in a <LI> list.
@related = split(/\Q$db_delim\E/, $related); $related = "";
foreach $relation (@related) {
$related .= qq|<a href="$build_root_url/|;
$related .= &urlencode($relation);
$related .= qq|/$build_index">|;
$related .= &build_clean($relation);
$related .= "</a>($numlinks) ";

Found this:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...cgi?post=26637#26637

Do like so:

$related .= "</a>$stats{$relation}[0] ";

Did you try putting the parenthesis in the code?

$related .= "</a>($stats{$relation}[0]) ";

Re: [blecchi] Problem related categories In reply to
You're welcome! Wink

Did you add each top-level category as a related category? I am wondering because your site shows this from the Motori Marini category page:

Motori Marini (0) Motori Marini : Benzina (1) Motori Marini : Diesel (1) Motori Marini : Entrobordo (1) Motori Marini : Fuoribordo (1)

Even though there are three links on the page, it shows a zero (0). In the admin, for category Motori Marini, did you enter Motori Marini as related? If yes, remove it, so your related cats will make more sense (and count right...).

Also remember that a related category does not have to be a subcategory, like Motori Marini : Diesel. It can be any category, like Directory from the world : Propulsion.
