Ok - Sorry for not including some of this earlier:
I won't list all the details fo the non-english MOD from the Links resource center,
except to summarize that it involves adding an alpha field to category.def,
inputting the non-english (Chinese in our case) category name there, and having
that field used for the name display, with the regular $category_name used for
the URL. The line in my category.def is
Nonenglish => [8, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''],
For the Yahoo v2.1 MOD, I changed the default field 8 to be field 9:
SubCatStyle => [9, 'alpha', 40, 100, 0, '(ALL)1', '']
In site_html_templates.pl, sub site_html_print_cat is where I am struggling.
I will include the complete subroutine below as I have it now. Basically, I
need to figure out how to have this line:
$output .= qq~<a class="subcat" href="$url">$category_name</a>~;
modified to display the $nonenglish value instead of the $category_name value.
I tried $output .= qq~<a class="subcat" href="$url">$nonenglish</a>~; but that just
gave me "ALL" for each category, so the subroutine seems to be defaulting to the
$description value.
In foreach $category_name (@subcatsub) {
foreach (sort @{$subcategories{$subcat}}) {
($subcatstyle eq "ALL" && $#subcatsub == 0) ?
($_ =~ m,.*/([^/]+)$, and $category_name = &build_clean($1)) :
#($_ =~ m,.*/([^/]+)$, and $category_name = &build_last_title_mb($nonenglish)) :
#($_ =~ m,.*/([^/]+)$, and $category_name = &kategorie_title_mb($nonenglish)) :
($_ eq "$subcat/$category_name" or next);
I tried each of those commented changes, but the result was confusing. At first,
I thought that $category_name was already set to the value of $nonenglish, due to
the earlier if statement:
if ($nonenglish eq "") {
if ($subcat =~ m,.*/([^/]+)$,) { $category_name = &build_clean($1); } else { $category_name = &build_clean($subcat); }
}
else {
$category_name = &build_last_title_mb($nonenglish);
}
But then why would the last line of the above foreach statement give the correct URL
(which it does)?
Anyway - here is the entire site_html_print_cat subroutine from my site_html_templates.pl
file. I just don't have enough knowledge to figure this out - or perhaps I should have
taken that login course in University.
