active listings under category list

[magicosta +]

Hello everybody,

At the end of my page category.php?cat=animals-pets there is a list of the different animals-pets advertisements.

I would like to modify the presentation of these adverts for each category.

Which template I have to edit to customize that?

Thank you for your help

If you edit your forum profile you can put you 68C version details in your forum signature that will it will appear at the bottom of all your posts and you wont have to keep typing it.

As to your question, im not certain I am following you. You have a category called animals-pets and within it some sub cats. Are you wanting to have those subcats each have its own look and feel?

Thank you Larry, I will do it.

What I have done already is, I have change line 94 ( if(isset($sec)){$options['section']=$sec;} ) and line 28 ( $showlistings='Y'; ) in category.php to display all active listings under category list.

So, when I click on "browse" I arrive on page "category.php" which is dispaying all the categories. Then, I click on Animals/Pets and arrive on page category.php?cat=animals-pets. In that page, there is of course all the sub-categories for Animals/Pets section and under all the sub-categories, there is a mixed of animals adverts.

I would like to customize the way that it is displaying, text, image and cells.

Well, If I can do that for both, categories and sub-categories, it is much better of course.

I have joined an image.

I think what you are looking for is the showlistings.tpl template.

That depends on exactly what you are trying to do.

All of the ads are contained in a table. The fields that are displayed is largely based on how you have the settings for the user group who is viewing the web site.

A table is created at line 58 of the template, followed by a standard html table row and then table header cells based on the admin settings for the user group. The header cells are closed, table row closed and then at line 87 you have the following...

{foreach from=$results item="entry"}

The data for the ads is passed to the template as an array. This arrays is looked at one dimension at a time and for each dimension a new table row is created. For each variable that the user group is supposed to see a table cell is created holding the variable. The table data cell closed, row closed and the next dimension of the array is handled and the above steps repeated.
