Hi JH,

This may or may not be possible.

Try adding the parent fieldname (check what it is) the the "Listpage Fields" list like we did in this last post:
http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=68705#68705

It will either display the parent number of parent name, hopefully the name. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

Hope that helps!

hi dave

I got an error.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice: Undefined index: parent_category in /var/www/vhosts/ourDomain/httpdocs/_pj/tfh/cmsAdmin/lib/menus/default/list_functions.php on line 309 Warning: array_key_exists(): The second argument should be either an array or an object
------------------------------------------------------------------

[font "Verdana"]It display parent number.
I hope it can display parent name.

Because this is custom category.
Hope I can add the filed in CMS Builder directly.

Thanks a lot and have a nice day!

Hi JH,

I can take a look directly if you like. Email CMS and FTP details to dave@interactivetools.com along with a link to this post and the section you want the field added to. (Email, don't post login details to the forum).

Hope that helps!

Thank a lot!
