cat_tree module

[magicosta +]

In quick search module and in searchform.tpl, if I take off |truncate: 20 the categories are displayed with the subcategories but when I jump to step 2 it is back as normal displaying just the main categories.

<p>
<label for="type">{$smarty.const.LANG_SEARCH_INCAT}{$smar ty.const.LANG_COLON}</label>
<select name="type" id="type">
<option value=''>{$smarty.const.LANG_SEARCH_ALLCAT}</option>
{foreach from=$getcats item=cat}
<option id="searchmod" {if $cat.parent_id == 0}class="parent" {/if}value="{$cat.id}"{if $type==$cat.id} SELECTED{/if}>{$cat.name|truncate:20}</option>
{/foreach}
</select>
</p>

I did what you suggest and nothing else happen.

I may have the wrong $script_name. I would suggest using the smarty {debug} to check what the actual script name is at that particular page and then change the code that I posted earlier to reflect the correct script name and that should resolve your issue.

An FYI: to see what variables are given to any template or displayed page, place "{debug}" at the very top above everything else in the layout.tpl file of the template that you are using. Make sure that you turn off any pop up window blocker that you may have. This built in smarty function will then pop up a separate window displaying all available variables for any page that you visit as well as which template file and script file is in use.

Thank you again for your help, Mike

I put {debug} and the $script_name is the right one.

Anyway, I will just take off |truncate:20 and get the cat displayed with subcat for that page.

This will do!

Glad you got a suitable workaround magicosta.

This does bring up a good point though Mike and I think as I revise and update my mods I am going to prepent all my variables with something so I know they are unique to my mods, something like $tech_varname or some such thing.

$script_name is used in the templatecodes module underpinning all templatecodes modules like the quick search module. The $script_name is defined for all the major scripts where templatecodes modules interact so logical testing can be carried out. Perhaps it is where issues are arising??? I may misunderstand but I thought 68C used $SCRIPT_NAME.

The quick checkout module should show normally providing you do not fall here

{if $script_name != 'search.php' || $script_name != 'usercheckout.php'}

What you will need to do is test for the presence of Larry's module, turn the quick search module off and report a message. You can see this action if you goto http://demo.templatecodes.com/ . Then goto the search page. Then click the quick search module. In fact if you have the quick checkout module the usercheckout is not a problem anymore but the standard checkout process will be and that is why the test is included for usercheckout - not everyone uses the quick checkout. My question is are you using an old version of templatecodes quick search module without the quick checkout?

[magicosta +]

In fact, I am using Sigma templatecodes module with quick search module but without quick checkout module.

[seymourjames +]

Right so if you are changing a step in the checkout process with Larry's module so it is no longer a case or usercheckout.php you will need to test for this module being used at this point (i.e. the url whatever it is) and disable the quick search module for that specific url as well.

[Mike-N-Tosh +]

Or use the template variable $body instead of the $script_name

... || $body != whatever it is from the debug}

[seymourjames +]

Good point Mike or he will need to define the script_name in the templatecodes module making long term upgrade more complicated than it needs to be. Better to use $body as you propose.

{if $script_name != 'search.php' || $script_name != 'usercheckout.php' || $body!= 'larrys-module.php' }

glad we got that one resolved.

[magicosta +]

Thank you very much all for your help.

At the end, here is the code that works:

{if $body!= '/../../modules/cat_tree/templates/cat_tree_step1.tpl'}

Then it displays a message of error when the user try to use the quick search function which I have changed for:

The Quick Search function is desactivated during the step 1 of the publication process
