Re: [svsanchez] Section and Sub Section intro text

By Chris - July 19, 2010

Hi svsanchez,

There are many ways to set this up. If you're using a Category Menu it's as simple as checking the "depth" of the selected category and displaying a different page if it's 0.

How are you generating your menu of sections and subsections -- and how are you displaying your pages?
All the best,
Chris

Hi Chris, I don't know how to set the depth to 0 to show the intros. I am pasting here my code as I don't understand what you mean by how I'm generating my menus:

<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
<?php


// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';




$dirsToCheck = array('/home/casahem/public_html/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records

list($categoryRecords, $selectedCategory) = getCategories(array( 'tableName' => 'categories', 'categoryFormat' => 'twolevel', ));
list($articlesRecords, $articlesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'articles',

));









?>

Hi svsanchez,

This may take some experimentation, but I'd start with this...

Put this code around your STEP 2 code: (new code in red)

<?php if ($selectedCategory['depth'] == 0): ?>
<?php echo $selectedCategory['content'] ?>
<?php else ?>


<!-- STEP2: Display Records (Paste this where you want your records to be listed) -->
<?php foreach ($articlesRecords as $record): ?>






</font></font><b>
<font face="Arial" size="4" color="#000080"> <?php echo $record['title'] ?></font></b><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#666666"><br/>
<?php echo $record['intro'] ?></font><p>
<font face="Arial" size="2" color="#666666">Category: <?php echo $record['category'] ?><br/>
_link : <a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['_link'] ?></a><br/>

</p>

<hr/>
<?php endforeach ?>

<?php if (!$articlesRecords): ?>
No records were found!<br/><br/>
<?php endif ?>
<!-- /STEP2: Display Records -->

<?php endif ?>


Does that do what you want?
All the best,
Chris

Hi Chris, it didn't work, I am now getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ':' in /home/casahem/public_html/articulos.php on line 121

Here's what I have:

<?php if ($selectedCategory['depth'] == 0): ?>
<?php echo $selectedCategory['content'] ?>
<?php else ?>


<!-- STEP2: Display Records (Paste this where you want your records to be listed) -->
<?php foreach ($articlesRecords as $record): ?>

</font></font><b>
<font face="Arial" size="4" color="#000080"> <?php echo $record['title'] ?></font></b><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#666666"><br/>
<?php echo $record['intro'] ?></font><p>
<font face="Arial" size="2" color="#666666">Category: <?php echo $record['category'] ?><br/>
_link : <a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['_link'] ?></a><br/>

</p>

<hr/>
<?php endforeach ?>

<?php if (!$articlesRecords): ?>
No records were found!<br/><br/>
<?php endif ?>
<!-- /STEP2: Display Records -->


<?php endif ?>


What am I doing wrong?

Hi there :)

Can you let me know specifically what's on line 121 (and a couple of lines around it)?
