Category Menu Code

Quick update. I have the code from the post working but cannot get it to identify the selected record.

I added a line to display the _isSelected but it never changes from zero.

<?php if ($categoryRecord['_isSelected']): ?><strong><?php endif; ?>
<a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a>
<?php if ($categoryRecord['_isSelected']): ?></strong><?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $categoryRecord['_isSelected'] ?>

The value of _isSelected is showing up behind each link as it should. I just can't get the link that has been selected to show up as such.

Chris,

Thanks for the help. I'll give the tutorial a read a second time to see if I'm missing something.

Right now the site has no real CSS setup yet. It's very plain at right now with only a few .php files in the root for testing.

It appears to me that the tags are not being generated. In fact, I don't think the IF statement is ever coming up true to add the tag.

I have attached the .php file I'm using and here is a link to the file on the site www.sctfpa.org/categoryList.php. As you will see, it does not respond to clicking on any of the links in the menu. The code I'm using should be, with the exception of what I added for testing, be the same as in the previous post.

Thanks

Chris,

I found the problem. Of course after going through the tutorial again. [:)]

After commenting out the two lines in code to load the records, it began to work as it should.

<?php

require_once "cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($categoryRecords, $selectedCategory) = getCategories(array(
'tableName' => 'category',
// 'selectedCategoryNum' => '', // defaults to getNumberFromEndOfUrl()
// 'categoryFormat' => 'showall', // showall, onelevel, twolevel
));

?>

Do I need to worry about no having those two lines in the code?

Thanks again...

Hi,

You won't need those two lines of code is everything else is working well.

Thanks
