Title: Categories on every page?
Post by: EnglishRider on March 11, 2003, 09:15:07 PM
Hello,
I am trying to move the categories listing onto the left hand side of the page. This works fine for the first page, but they do not show up. However when I put the random images statement under it, that feature shows up fine on all pages. Am I missing a setting, or does anyone know how to change the code to allow the categories to be shown on all pages? Example here -> http://www.bridlepathdesigns.com/temp/photos/ ... works on that page, but won't show up on http://www.bridlepathdesigns.com/temp/photos/details.php?image_id=8 (excuse the mess, haven't finished editing all the pages). The category statement is in my header file.

in the main .php files witch u are having problem with (such as details.php, member.php, lightbox.php and so on) at the end find:
Code: [Select]
//-----------------------------------------------------
//--- Print Out ---------------------------------------
//-----------------------------------------------------
add before:
Code: [Select]
$categories = get_categories(0);
if (!$categories)  {
  $categories = $lang['no_categories'];
}
$site_template->register_vars("categories", $categories);
unset($categories);

I have used this in categories.php:

Code: [Select]

//-----------------------------------------------------
//--- Show Main Categories ----------------------------
//-----------------------------------------------------
$main_categories = get_categories(0);
if (!$main_categories)  {
  $main_categories = $lang['no_categories'];
}
$site_template->register_vars("main_categories", $main_categories);
unset($main_categories);

basically I just "renamed" anything with "categories" to "main_categories" and placed {main_categories} in the template where I wanted it - works great AND still gives you any subcats....

Cheers

I know this is an old thread but I have this problem.  I have changed all the .php pages as directed above and they work great, however, there is a problem with the category.php page as explained above.  This below does not work.

Unless I am missing something.  Does anyone know how to change the categories.php page to show the categories and with the category links working correctly.  Thanks

Okay okay.  I found it.  I didnt think I would get a reply on an old thread like this so I refined my search phrase and I found this which works perfectly

http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=23516.0

Just to clarify - you need to change your categories.html (or any other template) to  categories_all 

Thanks very much.
