The above, is a modification to change the header, for each category page, in v3.0.15.
And it Worked, up to v3.1.4.

Problem: From v3.1.4, to 3.1.5, the breadcrumb var, in the functions.php file, changed so that this code no longer works.

Question: "How do I modify the code above to work with v3.1.5?"
(note: have tried {$section|strip}.gif, to no avail.)

How about changing it to this:

{if $smarty.get.sec==""}
<!-- // Header // -->
 <div id="header"><a href="index.php"><img src="templates/{$smarty.const.MAIN_TEMPLATE}/images/header.gif" width="633" height="93" border="0" alt="{$title}" /></a></div>
        <!-- // Header // -->
{else}
<!-- // Header // -->
<div id="header"><a href="index.php"><img src="templates/{$smarty.const.MAIN_TEMPLATE}/images/{$section}.gif" width="633" height="93" border="0" alt="{$title}" /></a></div>
        <!-- // Header // -->
{/if}

Checking... seems to display the same "header.gif", no matter which page you are viewing. Will need to do some more testing but, just to make sure I'm on the right track, "how should I name the $section.gif, that it would then be calling?" The same as the category name? i.e. "cars.gif"?

I beleive the problem is somewhere along the line the last peice of the breadcrumb was made into a link where in the past it wasnt. The original code from your post should still work you just need to strip the tags from the final variable, something like this...

PHP Code:

{foreach from=$breadcrumb item=section}
{/foreach}
{if $section==""}
<!-- // Header // -->
<div id="header"><a href="index.php"><img src="templates/{$smarty.const.MAIN_TEMPLATE}/images/header.gif" width="633" height="93" border="0" alt="{$title}" /></a></div>
<!-- // Header // -->
{else}
<!-- // Header // -->
<div id="header"><a href="index.php"><img src="templates/{$smarty.const.MAIN_TEMPLATE}/images/{$section|strip_tags}.gif" width="633" height="93" border="0" alt="{$title}" /></a></div>
<!-- // Header // -->
{/if}
{assign var=section value=""} 


Notice where the $section variable is used for the name I use the built in smarty function to strip html tags which should leave you with just the name of the category and it should work again.

Acknowledge the notice. But nope, it didn't work. Will run some more test, but, just so you'll know exactly what the new "functions.php" file is doing to the $breadcrumb variable; it is changing it from this:

(functions.php v3.0.15)

{$breadcrumb}
Array (2)
0 => <a href='category.php?type=34' class=...
1 => Camper_Trailers

to this:

(functions.php v3.1.5)

{$breadcrumb}
Array (1)
0 => <a href='category.php?type=34' class=...

Hope that helps. If not, I can send you the the code change to the $breadcrumb var in the functions.php file v3.1.5, along with the $breadcrumb coding from v3.1.4, so that you can compare the two.


Otherwise I guess, I will need to know if the change to the $breadcrumb was for security reasons? or for function reasons? so that I will then know how much further I should persue this. Meaning; "if the $breadcrumb change is not Critical to anything, then I may keep the 3.1.4version, if I knew what I would be losing by not using the 3.1.5version.

(Naturally I would prefer to use the new version, but...)

This is going from memory but I believe the breadcrumb was changed so it would display the full category path and the last one is clickable where before the last one was just text.

Ok, try this.....

PHP Code:

{foreach name=outer item=section from=$breadcrumb}
{foreach item=item from=$section}
{assign var=section value=$item|strip_tags}
{/foreach}
{/foreach}
{if $section==""}
<!-- // Header // -->
<div id="header"><a href="index.php"><img src="templates/{$smarty.const.MAIN_TEMPLATE}/images/header.gif" width="633" height="93" border="0" alt="{$title}" /></a></div>
<!-- // Header // -->
{else}
<!-- // Header // -->
<div id="header"><a href="index.php"><img src="templates/{$smarty.const.MAIN_TEMPLATE}/images/{$item}.gif" width="633" height="93" border="0" alt="{$title}" /></a></div>
<!-- // Header // -->
{/if}
{assign var=item value=""}

Thanks Eric! And it appears that your memory has not failed you. As in deed when I compare old to new, the last one does become clickable. And I figure, this was done so that, if you were viewing a listing, you could return to, or go to, the category in which the listing, is listed. (trying desparately to keep this from becoming confusing)

But again, Thanks for the info as it will help. I Love your script by the way. I find it's structure and design to be "Firefox" quality. (Hoping that means as much to you as it does me.) Par Excellence!!!

Thanks for the compliments! It does mean a lot.

Larry, will take me awhile to integrate and check this out and I didn't want to leave you hanging. The initial test was a dud. But will keep trying, and see if I can find out why. Will let you know ASAP, (probably tomorrow), but as I said, I didn't want to leave you hanging in the meantime.

p.s. Thanks Larry! I knew you would come to the rescue.
And if I may blow some smoke your way, ...I have read many of your post and find your explanations to be clear and concise, detailed yet specific. And you show a willingness to help that makes a person feel as though everything is gonna be ok. Glad your on the 68 team.
