Getting info out of boxes.


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi, I just figured out how to echo the shopping cart information to My html code. Now I would like to figure out how to echo the catagories and whats new, pretty Much the rest of the boxs Information. In this I mean I want

just to be able to echo the parts I want to My own html. Example

 

Instead of The catagories going to the box.

I want to make it so it echos the catagories into anyplace I want in My html code.

 

I dont mind having to add php code to the page itself instead of running it thru the boxes. Actually this should make the page load faster since I would have less includes right?.

But Im sick of being limited by the boxes codeing. I need a way to put things exactly where I want. I hope Im making Myself clear and not just rambling here..

 

Thanks to everyone fore there help here.

One way to do this is to utilize existing functions and to add some new ones for getting specific information.

 

/includes/functions/general.php has a number of functions.

 

I created a lot of info functions in my Free Call for Price Add-On v3.8 that would help you get specifics like category name, manufacture's name, etc.

 

The v3.8 that I have is on my site in the Free Call for Price Store.

 

You could literally just get the function file from there and use it stand alone for the calls you want to make.

 

But it might show you between it and general.php how to create additional functions of your own for obtaining data.
