Search by Listing ID#

[bowers01 +]

are you using viewlisting.tpl or viewlisting2.tpl?
You might just need to add the 2 to the code.

I would also like for the ID listing number to show up in the tables of Featured, Newest & Top Listings View.

Do you mean the search pages?

I changed my mind and i made a copy from breadcrumb.tpl and I called breadcrumb2.tpl, this is the code:

PHP Code:

<p class="breadcrumb">
    <a href="category.php" class="breadcrumb">You are Here: {$smarty.const.LANG_BROWSE_CATEGORIES}</a>
    {foreach from=$breadcrumb item="entry"}
    {$smarty.const.LANG_CAT_SEPERATOR} {$entry}
    {/foreach} {$smarty.const.LANG_CAT_SEPERATOR} PostID_{$view}
</p> 


And the viewlisting.tpl: {include file="categories/breadcrumb2.tpl"}

Thanks for your help Nick.

I do web design but have limited knowledge at programming. I can follow and do what I need with step by step instructions.

What I want to do is:

1. Include the label "Ad ID#" in the heading row with the headings Photo, Title, City, & View Listing at hotspringsclassifiedads.com/toplistings.php?pg=featured.

2. Include the ID#'s in the Ad ID# column for each classified ad showing on that Featured Listings Page.

3. Include the label "Ad ID#" in the heading row with the headings Photo, Title, City, & View Listing in the category sections as well. (e.g.) hotspringsclassifiedads.com/category.php?cat=homes-garden-homes

4. Include the ID#'s in the Ad ID# column for each classified ad showing on each of those type of category pages.

5. Each customer needs to know the ID# for their particular classified ad so when they advertise in the newspaper they can list the website and their Ad ID#. Buyers can then go to the website and Search by Ad ID# and find the customers particular classified ad.

I can and have successfully made changes to many of the software files on my own. On this particular instance I don't know what files to change and I don't know what the change needs to be for each particular file to get this accomplished.

Thanks again,

Thanks pipelin,

I have the breadcrumb part working.

Now I need to add the label "Ad Id#:" in the heading rows of the featured ads and the ad listings by category. And I need the Ad ID# to be listed in the cells of the Ad ID#: column for each individual classified ad.

Thank you,

I believe I am using viewlisting.tpl. Why is there a viewlisting2.tpl file? (Just for a second choice of display?)

Yes, It is on the pages displayed when you click on the Featured Ads, Newest Ads or Top Ads links.

Thank you,

I think you need to do some work in the showlistings.tpl

Hi Nick,

Thanks,

Hi,
On my site in the footer i have

			{if $body=='viewlisting.tpl'}
			<p class="floatleft">	<a href="category.php" class="breadcrumb">{$smarty.const.LANG_BROWSE_CATEGORIES}</a>
	{foreach from=$breadcrumb item="entry"}
		{$smarty.const.LANG_CAT_SEPERATOR} {$entry|replace:'&amp;':'&'}
	{/foreach} � :{$title|replace:'&':'&'}: {$view}</p>

and for example this will generate
Categories � Trucks � Prime Mover � :INTERNATIONAL S2670 & WHITE SEMI TIPPER: 216

You have

<p class="breadcrumb">
<a href="category.php" class="breadcrumb">You are Here: {$smarty.const.LANG_BROWSE_CATEGORIES}</a>
{foreach from=$breadcrumb item="entry"}
{$smarty.const.LANG_CAT_SEPERATOR}{$entry}
{/foreach} {$smarty.const.LANG_CAT_SEPERATOR}<b>Ad ID#:{$view}</b>
</p>

So if you change it to

<p class="breadcrumb">
<a href="category.php" class="breadcrumb">You are Here: {$smarty.const.LANG_BROWSE_CATEGORIES}</a>
{foreach from=$breadcrumb item="entry"}
{$smarty.const.LANG_CAT_SEPERATOR}{$entry}
{/foreach}{if $body=='viewlisting.tpl'} {$smarty.const.LANG_CAT_SEPERATOR}<b>Ad ID#:{$view}</b>{/if}
</p>

So then the ad ID#: will only show ont he viewlisting page.
cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick,

Thanks for all your help. I have it working.

Here is my final code for anyone else that would like to make this change.

This code is located in the file at templates/default/categories/breadcrumb.tpl.

The original code was:

<p class="breadcrumb">
<a href="category.php" class="breadcrumb">{$smarty.const.LANG_BROWSE_CATE GORIES}</a>
{foreach from=$breadcrumb item="entry"}
{$smarty.const.LANG_CAT_SEPERATOR} {$entry}
{/foreach}
</p>

The new code I inserted is:

<p class="breadcrumb">
{if $body=='viewlisting2.tpl'} <a href="category.php" class="breadcrumb">You are Here: {$smarty.const.LANG_BROWSE_CATEGORIES}</a>
{foreach from=$breadcrumb item="entry"} {$smarty.const.LANG_CAT_SEPERATOR} {$entry}
{/foreach}<br />
<font color="#FF0000"><b>Ad ID#: <u>{$view}</u></b></font> {/if}
</p>

This new code allows a viewer to see the Ad ID# for the particular ad displaying at the view listing level.

It also allows the registered customer to see his Ad ID# so he can use it in his print advertisements and make it easy for someone to find his specific ad.

I did make a change to the home page Search tool that says Search Ads by ID#:

The viewer enters the ID# and clicks on the Search Button and it takes the viewer right to that specific ad.

I would like help to make one more change concerning the Ad ID#.

I would like the "Ad ID#:" label and field display on a row just above the Seller label and field on the view listing page.

I have made several attempts but have not had any success in getting that accomplished.

Any help on that would be appreciated.

Thanks so much,

This new code allows a viewer to see the Ad ID# for the particular ad displaying at the view listing level.

Like your code, I have modified mine a bit so that instead of the Ad ID# showing up all through the category slection stage, mine just shows up when you get to the chosen category>

<p class="breadcrumb">
<a href="category.php" class="breadcrumb">You are Here: {$smarty.const.LANG_BROWSE_CATEGORIES}</a>
{foreach from=$breadcrumb item="entry"} {$smarty.const.LANG_CAT_SEPERATOR} {$entry}
{/foreach}<br />{if $body=="viewlisting.tpl"}
<font color="#FF0000"><b>Ad ID#: <u>{$view}</u></b></font> {/if}
</p>
