Showing location where u are!

Owl · #1 04-28-2005, 01:12 PM

I have a lil problem, I want to show on a big <h1> head line where people are, for instance if they are in a category, it will show <h1>Categoryname</h1> and if in a product <h1>Productname<h1> and so on and so on.... for manufacturers also and all the sites

I tried looking into the location.tpl list for the last url there but i couldn't solve it! :/ I think this is already built in within x-cart but im not sure.

{$product.productcode} ? prehaps and all other things like that.. i dunno =)

You are correct, you need to play around with location.tpl.

Hi Owl,

You can try this,

Code:

{strip} 
{section name=position loop=$location} 
{if %position.last%}{$location[position].0|escape} 
{else} 
{/if} 
{/section} 
{/strip}

I'm not sure if its exactly what you want, but your welcome to try it.

With the H1 tag it would look like this.

Code:

{strip} 
{section name=position loop=$location} 
{if %position.last%}<H1>{$location[position].0|escape}</H1> 
{else} 
{/if} 
{/section} 
{/strip}

Sure would be nice if Xcart would release a kind of API for a lot of the big variables that are passed from PHP to Smarty.

like the location, I think it's an array, but how is it organized. I'm sure we could hack it, but it would be nice if they just gave a little description what is in there. Subcategories are another.

Maybe we could start a thread that explains these variables?

I'm hearin' that.... although surely that would make life too easy and mean less custom-mod revenue for XC?!

Cynical, i know....

But i'm likely to commission a mod with XC, as I can't work out how to re-use the product_links variable that's assigned to Smarty. An API wouldn't be the be-all and end-all of problems like this, but IMHO, it would certainly make things a bit easier....
