[MOD-phpLD]Small Hack: Show full category Path while approving sites-Dir.vc-msolution

[MOD-phpLD]Small Hack: Show full category Path while approving sites-Dir.vc-msolution

Hello,
making my last mod and upgrading it to 3.x, i realised that loads of times some category names are repeated, though being valid, most commen being "Blog"

One would find Blog as a root category, and yet you have Art Weblogs under Arts, Blog Hosting under Hosting,….etc

Now in phpLD approve section, all i have is which category is the site submitted to!

I thought it would be better if I were to know the whole path in the admin section so i know exactly where the submission has been made

So put a small hack together HERE


Hope this helps someone!

Regards,
M.

 

Looks great..
Does this appear while editing/approving the link ?

 

Yep, when u click the small icon next to the title, in the aprove section,
the ajax popup comes up, .... there you can see the full path,

you can see in the screen shot on my blog

M.

 

Not the ajax popup...

I mean to say - during editing the link ( on clicking the pencil icon)

 

yes,
in Approve section -> Click the icon -> and in the ajax popup you can see the category full path.

Does it appear during EDITING the listing ??

Like when we are editing title, description, email, category etc.. Does it appear somewhere here on this page OR can you make it ?

 

lol....sorry i missed that out,.... on the editing page,.... i guess that would be possible, let me know if ur intersted ill look into it.

M.

 

I think this will help most of the owners..

I suggest the full path visible just above the "category" drop down box

 

This is another handy mod. I often checked where the sub-category from manually. This should save a lot of editing time

 

Very much needed... thanks a lot for this brilliant mod.

 

Good work M. as usual.

 

Great.
Nicely done .... That will really help.

And I will also reguest to have full category path appear while "Editing"

 

Whats the status buddy ?

 

@msolution

Are u really sure you are using standard phpLD v3.2 and not some kind of highly customized version ??

Problem 1
In your blog you said
Find

$sql = “SELECT {$tables[’link’][’name’]}.*, “.$db->IfNull(“{$tables[’category’][’name’]}.TITLE”, “‘Top’”).” AS `CATEGORY` FROM `{$tables[’link’][’name’]}` LEFT JOIN `{$tables[’category’][’name’]}` ON ({$tables[’link’][’name’]}.CATEGORY_ID = {$tables[’category’][’name’]}.ID) WHERE {$tables[’link’][’name’]}.ID = “.$db->qstr($id).” LIMIT 1″;

PHP:

There is no such thing, the closest one I was able to get is

$sql = "SELECT {$tables['link']['name']}.*, ".$db->IfNull("{$tables['category']['name']}.TITLE", "'Top'")." AS `CATEGORY` FROM `{$tables['link']['name']}` LEFT JOIN `{$tables['category']['name']}` ON ({$tables['link']['name']}.CATEGORY_ID = {$tables['category']['name']}.ID) WHERE {$tables['link']['name']}.ID = ".$db->qstr($id)." LIMIT 1";

PHP:

There is no >

Problem 1
You said to find

<tr class=“{cycle values=”odd,even“}”><td class=“label”>{l}Category{/l}:</td><td class=“smallDesc”>{if $row.CATEGORY_ID eq ‘-1′}<span class=“orphan”>{l}Orphan{/l}</span>{else}{$linkInfo.CATEGORY|escape|trim}({$linkInfo.CATEGORY_ID}){/if}</td></tr>

PHP:

And the closest thing I have is

<tr class="{cycle values="odd,even"}"><td class="label">{l}Category{/l}:</td><td class="smallDesc">{$linkInfo.CATEGORY|escape|trim}</td></tr>

PHP:

There is no {if $row.CATEGORY_ID eq ‘-1′}

I think you need to revise your instructions.

 

Well good attempt at the mod anyway this would be very useful i will check back to see if problems are fixed

 

, thats Wordpress playing on me, should be ->, you are right

just ensure to add

<br />[{$linkInfo.CACHE_URL|escape|trim}]

Code (markup):

i think i have the latest build, dated. phpLD_07-23-07.zip, but it is phpLD3.2

I will rewrite the instruction keeping your feedback in mind
thanx for the inputs

M.

 

I did try to do the necessary changes by comparing but it was not working for me. I am going to try again.
(And yea I was also thinking its something to do with your WP)

Mine is based on phpLD_06-28-07, the template change is not that much of issue (I mean I can see the changes) but I thought to let you know and also to other who will try to use it.

 

Hi,
sorry for the delay, but i was into adding deep links on my site!

i have rewritten the blog post, and have added an additional post for the editing section

lemme know if alls well!

Regards,
M.

 

Great, this will come in handy for me

 

Should we add those ## also ??
