CATEGORY TITLES ON PAGEs

[janetd]

How do I put category titles on the top of the individual pages? I think they should go in place of "Let's see what we have here". Am I right? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Janet

Hi Janet,

Found this

 

This is a simple method of displaying Catagory name in the Page Title, instead of

the standard "Let's See What We Have Here" message.

Added this function for sub folders (Categories) too,

e.g. if you now go to the Hardware Categorie and this contains sub categories

- it wil show "Hardware Categories" as Page Title

1st Alteration:

 

includes/classes/breadcrumb.php

 

Original:

 

class breadcrumb {

var $_trail;

 

 

function breadcrumb() {

$this->reset();

}

 

 

 

Change to:

 

class breadcrumb {

var $_trail;

 

function last() {

$trail_size = sizeof($this->_trail);

return $this->_trail[$trail_size-1]['title'] ;

}

 

function breadcrumb() {

$this->reset();

}

 

 

##################################

2nd (& 3rd) Alteration:

 

Directory: includes/languages/english/index.php

 

Around Line 19:

 

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Let\'s See What We Have Here');

 

Alter to:

 

define('HEADING_TITLE', $breadcrumb->last());

 

 

Around Line 39:

 

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Categories');

 

Alter to:

 

define('HEADING_TITLE', $breadcrumb->last() . ' ' . 'Categories');

 

 

 

Save both files and you will not get the catagory heading at the top of each catagory page

instead of the standard "Let's See What We Have Here" and "Categories"

I did this and double checked on every little thing and lost my store front. All I'm getting is a blank page. I restored and still a blank page.

Undo all the previous advice.

 

/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

Change this:

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Let\'s See What We Have Here');

 

To this:

$category_name = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) ? $manufacturers['manufacturers_name'] : $categories['categories_name'];

define('HEADING_TITLE', $category_name);

 

Change this:

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Categories');

 

To this:

define('HEADING_TITLE', $categories['categories_name']);

 

Always try to do things the easiest way possible - when things go wrong (as they often do), the less changes you made the easier it is to fix.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

 

when you have sub categories how can you get title of product list page to show "category/subcategory" instead of just subcategory
