Understanding Category Depth

[pabloron]

Hello. I'm interested in putting a text intro at the top of a sub-category page. It would be something like:

 

If category="purple" {

write this text;

}

 

I don't know just where to look for all of the cpath stuff so that I can insert my IF statement. Anyone have suggestions about where to begin?

 

Thanks,

Paul

In index.php find:

 

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_WEIGHT':

$listing_sql .= "p.products_weight " . ($sort_order == 'd' ? 'desc' : '') . ", pd.products_name";

break;

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE':

$listing_sql .= "final_price " . ($sort_order == 'd' ? 'desc' : '') . ", pd.products_name";

break;

}

}

?>

<td width="100%" valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr>

<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr>

<td class="pageHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></td>

 

 

The bolded area is where the sub cat name is shown - so this is probably where you want to work.

 

Refer to cats by there number e.g. :

 

if ($current_category_id == '1')
{
? blah blah
}
?else if ($current_category_id == '2')
?{
? ?blah blah blah
? }
? else if etc............

 

The only thing to remember is - these additions won't be dynamic so you will manually need to add cats, into this if statement, that you create in the future.
