Re: [dccreatives] Simple Breadcrumbs

Hi,
From what I can tell, most of the information you are displayingin diaHome.php is coming from your brands section.

I think you're looking for something like this:

Products >> <a href="search.php">Type</a> >> <a href="brandsList.php">Brands</a> >> <?php echo $brandsRecord['name'] ?>

If you want this to be more dynamic, I will need to know what fields are in each section. This is not the records stored in the section, but the fields in each record. For example: Brands has a link, a name, and a logo for each record.

This is the kind of information I would need for each of your sections.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jason,

I am getting the hang of the program and with a little tweaking, I did get the breadcrumbs to work somewhat. See this link:

http://www.axislighting.com/CMS/itemsDetail.php?10

I even got the BrandsList to take me to the specified brands home page. But what is not working is when you click on the type, it shows you all the items and all types. I only want it to list the type that the item is. i.e. Direct/Indirect or Recessed. Now all the items show when you click on the Type link.

Again thanks for your patience.

Hi,

In order to do that, I'm going to need some more information from you.

1) I'll need you to post search.php

2)How are you storing "type" in the database? Is it a number or is it text (i.e "Recessed")

Let me know and we'll see what we can do.

Hi,

All you need to do is have your url look like this:
http://www.axislighting.com/CMS/search.php?type=Recessed

You can change type= to any kind of type you want. For a link, you would want something like this:

<a href="search.php?type=Recessed">Recessed</a>

Try something like that.
Hope this helps.
