Showing the active/current category

[RDM]

In inc/functions.inc.php change this:

Code: Select all

function category_get_tree($prefix = '', $tpl = '{name}', $no_prefix = true, $id = 0, $level = 0){
global $sql, $PHP_SELF;
static $johnny_left_teat;

   $level++;

   foreach ($sql->select(array('table' => 'categories', 'where' => array("parent = $id"), 'orderby' => array('id', 'ASC'))) as $row){
      $find = array('/{id}/i', '/{name}/i', '/{url}/i', '/{icon}/i', '/{template}/i', '/{prefix}/i', '/\[php\](.*?)\[\/php\]/ie');
      $repl = array($row['id'], $row['name'], $row['url'], ($row['icon'] ? '<img src="'.$row['icon'].'" alt="'.$row['icon'].'" border="0" align="absmiddle">' : ''), $row['template'], (($row['parent'] or !$no_prefix) ? $prefix : ''), '\\1');
      $johnny_left_teat .= ($no_prefix ? preg_replace('/('.$prefix.'{1})$/i', '', str_repeat($prefix, $level)) : str_repeat($prefix, $level));
      $johnny_left_teat .= preg_replace($find, $repl, $tpl);
      category_get_tree($prefix, $tpl, $no_prefix, $row['id'], $level);
   }

return $johnny_left_teat;
}

to this:

Code: Select all

function category_get_tree($prefix = '', $tpl = '{name}', $no_prefix = true, $id = 0, $level = 0){
global $sql, $PHP_SELF;
static $johnny_left_teat;

   $level++;
   $get_cat = end($blah = explode("/", $_GET['category']));

   foreach ($sql->select(array('table' => 'categories', 'where' => array("parent = $id"), 'orderby' => array('id', 'ASC'))) as $row){
      $find = array('/{id}/i', '/{name}/i', '/{url}/i', '/{icon}/i', '/{template}/i', '/{prefix}/i', '/\[php\](.*?)\[\/php\]/ie', '/{class}/i');
      $repl = array($row['id'], $row['name'], $row['url'], ($row['icon'] ? '<img src="'.$row['icon'].'" alt="'.$row['icon'].'" border="0" align="absmiddle">' : ''), $row['template'], (($row['parent'] or !$no_prefix) ? $prefix : ''), '\\1', $get_cat == $row['url'] ? 'active' : 'nonactive');
      $johnny_left_teat .= ($no_prefix ? preg_replace('/('.$prefix.'{1})$/i', '', str_repeat($prefix, $level)) : str_repeat($prefix, $level));
      $johnny_left_teat .= preg_replace($find, $repl, $tpl);
      category_get_tree($prefix, $tpl, $no_prefix, $row['id'], $level);
   }

return $johnny_left_teat;
}

Then change this:

Code: Select all

function cn_category($prefix = '&nbsp;', $tpl = '<li><a href="[php]cute_get_link($row, category)[/php]" class="??" >{name}</a></li>', $no_prefix = true, $level = 0)

to this:

Code: Select all

function cn_category($prefix = '&nbsp;', $tpl = '<li><a href="[php]cute_get_link($row, category)[/php]" class="{class}" >{name}</a></li>', $no_prefix = true, $level = 0)

I think this is very useful and i guess a lot of people will want this. FI-DD post it in other topic. It works but we have a little problem. U need to "clear cache" everytime, before u enter into a category. Otherwise, it will show what category it in the cache.

Try changing

Code: Select all

define('cache', true);

in head.php to

Code: Select all

define('cache', false);

It works.. thank you!

Code: Select all

function cn_category($prefix = '&nbsp;', $tpl = '<li><a href="[php]cute_get_link($row, category)[/php]" class="??" >{name}</a></li>', $no_prefix = true, $level = 0)

Is that also in the functions.inc.php? I can't find it! : )

[FI-DD]

No, that's in plugins/etc.php.

How can i show the active category's name above my news?

for example:

Funny videos

Funny video #1
Funny video #2
Funny video #3
...

I want to show something like in the <title> if i use <?=cn_title(' &laquo; ', true); ?>...

Has anyone fixed this hack to work correctly without turning off cache?

DarkSlim, I bet you can come up with something goooood!
