Multi-level Category Functions

yep this is it:

http://is.sandbox.intraserve.biz/includes/categoryList.php the output is oke but links to the right location not working.

aha so i can ad a field lets say links?? and than link to any viewer?

Thats coo [;)]

mmm wait ['_link'] i don't get that. is see it in the code but cant find the relation to the sections.

Hi Maurice,

You could create a textfield in your section called link where you can put a different url for any record that you want to link to:

EXAMPLE:
<a href="<?php echo $category['link'];?>"><?php echo $category['name'];?></a>

['_link'] is used when you want every record in the section to link to the same detail page.

Hope this helps.

Hey mohabsi,
Thanks for sharing this... it's exactly what I needed to get my drop down categories working.

hi chris,

sorry i try the code but not work
i solve the problem with other way

<div class="glossymenu">

<?php foreach ($categoryRecords as $categoryRecord): ?>
<?php if ($categoryRecord['depth'] == 0): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>" class="menuitem submenuheader"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a>
<?php $parent=$categoryRecord['num'];?>
<ul class="submenu">

<?php foreach ($categoryRecords as $categoryRecord): ?>
<?php if ($categoryRecord['parentNum'] == $parent): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a></li>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

</ul>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>

and thanks again for your efforts

HI Dave

About "Category Function"
I tried to figuare it out. and created the page categoryList.php on our site.

Nothing happen.

http://www.ctrbs.org/categoryList.php

My cmsBuilder version is 2.07

I created a "Category" Section and give it some record.

My "Viewer URL"
List Page Url - categoryList.php
Detail Page Url - categoryList.php

and use the file which you propose : categoryList.php.

http://www.ctrbs.org/categoryList.php

Can you tell me where error code?

thanks!

I have 3 cmsAdmin account. but still dont' understand what it is and how to do "Category Menu" for my site.
Hope there have detail intro for the function.

Thanks!
