2 categories mods together....

[JEWbacca]

Good Afternoon. I'm trying to use the Display Category Name In Main Content and Show All Categories contributions together... but so far I have had no luck :(

 

The Display Category Name In Main Content contribution changes the 'Let's See What We Have Here' to display the category name in its place. The Show All Categories contribution displays both the Categories and sub Categories all at once in the left box.

 

I'm 90% sure my problem is because this line (that I put into the index.php)

	echo HEADING_TITLE . '\'' . $tree[$current_category_id]['name'] . '\'';

does not agree with with the new category box. Here is the code used in for my categories.php

 History: 1.1 Creation
          1.2 Modified query for compatibility with older databases
          1.3 Query in 1.2 was wrong for older databases
          1.4 SHOW_COUNTS test corrected
          1.5 Added COMPACT_CATEGORIES option to display all sub-categories on one line
          1.6 Removed COMPACT_CATEGORIES option
              Corrected the cpath generation
              Bold categories "path" to selected category, an idea from Peter F?rsicht
     1.7 Cleaned the way in which the categories are displayed - bold for the path, 
        ">" to indicate the current category, removed link to current category,
       only indent subcategories (top level are flush left)

Shameless

Indeed ;)

 

Use "foo" instead of "tree" and you should be fine:

// hacked to display current category name in main content area! Nik
echo HEADING_TITLE . '\'' . $foo[$current_category_id]['name'] . '\'';
