Custom ad spots

[roamex]

Hey guys and girls,

I need a bit of help eyes starting to bug me been looking at code for hours and im still a noob at all this. I am trying to create a custom spot at the bottom of my page under the listings (showlistings.tpl). I need help finding how to check what category or sub category i am under. i have included a demo of the code im trying to do below the Unknownvarible is what i need help with. I just need to check what the current sub category i am in.

example if i am in automotive >> Cars i need to know that im in Cars and don't need to know any of the higher level categories only current.


{if Unknownvarible == "AUTOMOTIVE"}

<p>testing car ad works</p>

{elseif Unknownvarible == "Atv"}

<p>testing for Atv works</p>

{elseif Unknownvarible == "Cars"}

<p>testing for AUTOMOTIVE works</p>

{else}

<p>Test failed</p>

{/if}

anyway thank you.

is there anyone out there that has any idea of how this is done????

I am just trying to add a check in the showlistings.tpl file that tells me what category the user is currently in so I can add custom ads based of those categories.

If anyone needs any more information please just ask really lost here.

Hi,

I think you want something like this:

{if $smarty.get.cat == "AUTMOTIVE"}
<p>testing car ad works</p>
{elseif $smarty.get.cat == "Atv"}
<p>testing for Atv works</p>
{elseif $smarty.get.cat == "Cars"}
<p>testing for AUTOMOTIVE works</p>
{else}
<p>Test failed</p>
{/if}

The $smarty.get.cat will be the same as the category slug or:
category.php?cat=cars
