Hello,

i try to get the Category ID in the Category Pages.
(As shown in the Admin-Funktion when viewing categories)
I've put the following in site_html.pl (no templates!)
$rec{'ID'}

But it dont work ;-)
Does anybody now, whitch variable I can use or whitch modifications I have to make?

Thanks for any help and sorry for my bad english..

And which sub-routine are you putting this in?

The $rec{'ID'} codes will only work in the sub site_html_category routine.

Regards,

Eliot Lee

Thanks for the speed of your reply,

it is in the sub site_html_category routine.
It ist between the print qq~

If tried the following versins:

$category{$ID}
$category{$category_name}[0]
$category{0}
$rec{'ID'}

Also:
~;$category{$ID}qq~ (CGI Error)
~;$rec{'ID'}qq~ (Also CGI Errer when building pages)

I just whant to have the ID Number in the HTML-Code of the Categorypages.
Do you have any Idea?

Thanks for your help!

Well, what you will need to do is add the following codes in the sub site_html_print_cat since that is the sub that prints the categories.
1) Replace the following codes:



with the following codes:



2) Add the following codes:



AFTER the following codes:



3) Then replace the following line:



with the following codes:



Hope this helps.

Good luck!

Hello Eliot,

thanks again for you answer, but I think this is not what I need. I need the category ID to handle with this variable for an SSI. I need the Category Number in my HTML-Header, witch I define in sub site_html_category.

That meens: When I Build the pages, there should be the Category Number of the actual Category-Page.

Example: I have the category: Computer
When the script Builds the pages, it should write on
/Computer/index.html in the HTML Header the Cat (ID)Number.

In the Description in site_html.pl you give different variables like:
# $description : Category Description
# $meta_name : Meta Description Tag
# $meta_keywords : Meta Keywords Tag
# $header : Custom Header
# $footer : Custom Footer
# $related : A <li> list of related categories

All I need, ist a variable like them of the ID-Number from the actual Category.

I think there are easzer ways to describe my problem, but not with my english :-)

Can you help me again?

Thanks, Kai

I will have to think about this a little bit...The problem will be passing the ID from one sub to another...The easiest thing to do is rather than including a common header...use complete header codes in the sub site_html_category routine and use $rec{'ID'}.
