Not enough coffee or too much reading but I can't seem to figure out how to remove the "Articles Categories" from the menu code.

The working page is here http://breedersclub.net/html/articles/articles1.php

Results look like this:

Articles Categories

Pets and the Arts
Pet Health and Safety
Traveling with your Pet
Pet Lifestyles
Pet Training and Sports
Pet Behavior

Pet Behavior Articles ( I added the word articles to hard code )

Also how do I make "pet behavior articles" the category that the articles are in ( after clicking one of the category links )

As always, thanks for your support.
Sean

Hi Sean,

Could you attach the article1.php to the post?

It's hard to tell what's going on from the live page.

Thanks,

Ok part 1 was my fault, I had a section name of Articles Categories" instead of using the first category....

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

  $libraryPath = '../../articles/lib/viewer_functions.php';
  $dirsToCheck = array('/var/www/html/breedersclub/','','../','../../','../../../');
  foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
  if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }
  
  
$selectedCategoryNum = getNumberFromEndOfUrl();
if (!$selectedCategoryNum) { $selectedCategoryNum = 6; } 

  list($categoriesRecords, $selectedCategory) = getCategories(array( 
    'tableName'   => 'categories', 
	'selectedCategoryNum' => '6',         // defaults to getNumberFromEndOfUrl()  
  )); 
 
  list($articlesRecords, $articlesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
    'tableName'   => 'articles',
  ));

?>

<?php 
 
  function maxWords($textOrHtml, $maxWords) { 
  $text = strip_tags($textOrHtml); 
  $words = preg_split("/\s+/", $text, $maxWords+1); 
  if (count($words) > $maxWords) { unset($words[$maxWords]); } 
  $output = join(' ', $words); 
 
  return $output; 
  } 
?>

Hi,

Probably has nothing to do with the issue, but I noticed that in your record calls you use 'selectedCategoryNum' => '6', and Pet Behavior is category # 6 on your list of categories.

Past that, I'm not sure.
