I hope you are well. I have a question in regards to a bread crumb issue. In the orginal setup of CMS all of our states were abbreviated in a drop down box. Example CA was for California. On the front end of website pages we display the State Spelled out completely. If you click on the link below you will notice the state is abbreviated. Is there an easy way I can convert it to a spelled out state????? This would help a bunch for SEO .

Hi,
If you're listing all of your states in the list options box, you can specify a value and a label by using the pipe "|" character.
For example:
CA|California
In this example, CA is the value, and California is the label. If you do it like this, you won't have to re-select the states for each record because the value isn't changing, just the label. To output this, you can use the :label pseudo field like this:
Hope this helps.

Re: [Jason] Bread Crumbs
We added the labels into our CMS. But we are getting an undefined index error for the "label":
"Notice: Undefined index: state:label in d:\domains\rentittoday.com\wwwroot\viewers\costume_rentals_details.php on line 543"
This is the code I used to display the state:
Here is the page it is on:
http://www.rentittoday.com/costume-rentals/Beaverton-Costume-Rentals-Oregon-Mascot-Snowman-Costume-For-Rent-40
I know that originally there was some doubt that this would work on the version of CMS we are using, 2.05 ,could our version be the issue?

Hi,
The label pseudo field became available with version 2.04. Did you have custom coding that would not allow you to upgrade all of your files?
If you could fill out a [url http://www.interactivetools.com/support/]2nd Level Support Request[/url] I can take a quick look at what's going on.
Hope this helps

Hello!
Through second level support we were able to achieve the results we needed for the breadcrumbs. :) Now we want to use the same functionality to display the state label on a results page.
At the top of our results we have a line the says "Search Results for ". We then use
The code that successfully displays the state labels for us on a detail page is as follows:
This coding works when a user clicks a breadcrumb from a details page back to the search results page but does not work when a user lands on a search results page. I know why it does not but am unable to change the code so it will. I believe that we need to use the

Hi rentittoday,
Can you provide an example URL which has a state_match parameter?
Also, what is the table name of the section with the state list field?
I suspect you'll need to use a function like getListLabels() or getListOptions() to convert your query parameter into a list of labels.

We do this on all categories which are all set up as separate tables but costumes is the example we used earlier.
The table name is costume_rentals.
If someone searched for costumes in Kentucky, for example, the url would be http://www.rentittoday.com/viewers/costume_rentals_results.php?state_match=KY
Yes, I originally thought that the labels would allow us to display them as simple as
Thanks again!
