Making title of featured items on front page links

[bowers01 +]

Hi,
In my showlistings.tpl i have this code for the title and price:
<a href="{$entry.link}" style="text-decoration: none">{$entry.title}</a>
This creates a nice link with no underline. I would like this for my featured ads on the front page. At current the photo is the only thing with a link so i would like to add this code.
Where do i add this to get the title and price to be a link? will i need to change that code?
Cheers,
Nick

If you are talking about the ads displayed at the bottom of the front page, they are handled by the smarty plugin....

/includes/classes/smarty/plugins/function.feature_listings_horizontal.php

Hi,
Thanks for that.
In That document the "title" comes up a few times.
Where should i be putting this?
Cheers

I checked out your site http://www.truckandmachinery.com.au/ and saw that you were able to get the title and price links to work. I would like to be able to do that also. Could you share that code and where you put it?


Thanks

Hi,
I am not sure on what the code was before hands o i copied a whole chunk so you can find where it is.

if ($x<$loop_count) 
			{
				//format the link
				if(defined('SEO'))
				{
					$listing_title=$loop[$x][title];
					$listing_title=str_replace(' ', '_', $listing_title);
					$listing_title=preg_replace('/\W/e', '', $listing_title);
					$link="listing/".$loop[$x][id]."/".$listing_title.".html";	
				}
				else
				{
					$link="viewlisting.php?view=". $loop[$x][id];
				}
				//start td
				$output .= "<td" . smarty_function_html_table_cycle_68('td', $td_attr, $c) . ">";
					//start image
					$output.="<a href='". $link ."'><img src='".$loop[$x][image]."' border='0' alt='".$loop[$x][title]."' /></a><br />";
				//close td
				//$output.="</td>";
				//new td
				//$output .= "<td" . smarty_function_html_table_cycle_68('td', $td_attr, $c) . ">";
					//text
					$output.="<a href='". $link ."' class=\"showlistings\" style='text-decoration: none'>".$loop[$x][title] ."</a><br />";
					if($show_price=='Y')
					{
					$output.= "<b><a href='". $link ."' style='text-decoration: none'>".$loop[$x][price] ."</a></b>";
					}
				//close td
				$output.="</td>\n";
            } 
			else 
			{
				$output .= "<td" . smarty_function_html_table_cycle_68('td', $td_attr, $c) . ">" . $trailpad . "</td>\n";
				$output .= "<td" . smarty_function_html_table_cycle_68('td', $td_attr, $c) . ">" . $trailpad . "</td>\n";
            }
        }
        $output .= "</tr>\n";
    }
    $output .= "</table>\n";
    return $output;

I haven't tested this, but this should work just fine. You must have the developers version to do this.

In the file called "function.feature_listings_horizontal.php" around line 137 find this:

PHP Code:

    $output.=$loop[$x][title] ."<br />";
if($show_price=='Y')
{
$output.= $loop[$x][price];
} 


Replace with this:

PHP Code:

    //modification to add link for the title and price
$output.="<a href='". $link ."'>";
$output.=$loop[$x][title] ."<br />";
if($show_price=='Y')
{
$output.= $loop[$x][price];
}
$output.="</a>"; 


Hope that works and helps!

My bad, I was under the impression that all ".php" files were encrypted in the Designer versions.
