II have created an alternate categoy dsplay page - basically a duplocate of categories.php but with an entirely different layout (for a differen section of my site).

In addition, I have created a new set of templates for my new categories page to use. : i.e.

simpleCtas.php uses "simpleCats.html, simpleCat_bit.html and simpleNail_bit.html"

What I want to do is create an alternate version of the {thumbnail} variable with it's own styling and a link to a pop-up (image only). I looked in functions and created

Code: [Select]
"thumbnail2" => get_thumbnail_code($image_row['image_media_file'], $image_row['image_thumb_file'], $image_row['image_id'], $image_row['cat_id'], $image_row['image_name'], $mode, $show_link),
am I on the right track?

What do I need to change so that the link on my new variable is to a popo-up?

Thanks in advance for any guidance in the right directon...

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Download URL problem
« on: December 29, 2005, 05:37:24 AM »
I have a video category and want to specify a download url for each video so that the videos are viewed locally rather than on my server.

What I'm doing is the following:

1. Uploading both the video and a single frame of the video into the video category.
2. After validating the image/video I set the actual video (.mov file) to "inactive" so it does not show up in the category listing
3. Then, I set the download url of the image to point to the actual video file - i.e. "/data/media/50/movie.mov"

When I browse to the image and try to download the video by clicking the download button It simply attempts to download the image "/download.php?image_id=1075"

any advice would be appreciated.

I wanted to split up a language variable so I edited main.php as follows:

changed:

Code: [Select]
$lang['search_by_keyword'] = "Search by Keyword:<br /><span class=\"smalltext\">Use terms such as AND, OR and NOT to control your search in more detail. Use asterisks (*) as a wildcard for partial matches.</span>";

to:

Code: [Select]
$lang['search_by_keyword'] = "By Keyword:";
$lang['search_by_keyword2'] = "Use terms such as AND, OR and NOT to control your search in more detail. Use asterisks (*) as a wildcard for partial matches.";

When I call the new variable in my html template using {lang_search_by_keyword2} nothing shows up...

Do I have to change something else - somewhere else?

Thanks in advance.

Please forgive me if this has been posted elsewhere, but I cannot find it...

I have created a new template group but I want to test it before I make it live. Is there a way for me to preview the template without having to select it in the settings menu of the admin area?

I tried "index.php?template_dir=NewTemp - but that did not work.

Thanks in advance for any informaton
