custom cats module question

I have uploaded and assigned the custom cats module to certain categories, all works fine.
My question is is there any way of creating a seperate <title> tag for this new-showlings.tpl page ?

I have tried adding the following

{elseif $body=="/ httpdocs / modules / customcats / templates / cattemplates / new-showlistings.tpl"
<title>New ### Second hand###</title>

But that does not seem to work, just wodered whether anybody had any ideas ?

Many thanks

Jason

HI David,

Yes I tried that first and it never worked, because it is a module I assumed I had to follow the entire directory path. It seems very weird that it does not work Mmmm

I would try some of these:
$body == templates/cattemplates/new-showlistings.tpl
$body == cattemplates/new-showlistings.tpl
$body == new-showlistings.tpl

I have tried all 3 of them eric, still no joy

Do this...

Add {debug} to your layout.tpl file and then it should display a popup once you load a page.

In the popup window it should say the exact path to the body template.

If searchresult.php TRY this:

PHP:


   $class_tpl->assign('file', 'searchresults.php');
    if($settings['sTemplate']==1)  
       {
      switch (isset($_GET['type'])&& $_GET['type'] == '') 
      {
      case 3: //category
        $class_tpl->assign('body',FILESYSTEM_PATH.'modules/customcats/templates/cattemplates/template1.tpl'); 
        break;    
      
      case 5:  //category
        $class_tpl->assign('body',FILESYSTEM_PATH.'modules/customcats/templates/cattemplates/template2.tpl');  
        break;    
      
           default:
         $class_tpl->assign('body','showlistings.tpl');
         break;   
      }
       $class_tpl->assign('body','showlistings.tpl'); 
      }


As suggested by eric I put the debug in the page to pull out the title and I got this result:

"/var/www/vhosts/diy-classifieds.co.uk..." for the $body, so now im stumpted I dont have a clue what this means, does anybody elese know what it means ?

(by the way pipelin thanks very much for trying to help me, but that did not work either )

Thanks for any help

Jason

Try the full path:
{if $body == '/var/www/vhosts/diy-classifieds.co.uk/templates/cattemplates/new-showlistings.tpl'}

Exellent got it sorted as you said eric I needed to use the FULL link which turned out to be (if anyones interested), thanks eric once again.

{elseif $body == '/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/modules/customcats/templates/cattemplates/air-tools.tpl'}


Just wondering. I have set up about 30 different showlistings templates using erics mod, now I have found the source to adding seperate title tags to each of them,

If I put all of them in the layout.tpl head section giving each one different titles, would it have any adverse effect on the website ? ranking, page loading or anything else ?

I would use something like
{if $body == '/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/modules/customcats/templates/cattemplates/air-tools.tpl'}
<title> ####</title>
{elseif $body == '/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/modules/customcats/templates/cattemplates/air-tools.tpl'}
<title ### </title>

and so on ....

sorry forgot to ask, am I able to assign new meta description to each of them aswel please ?

Regards

Jason

Maybe I am missing it but when you add/edit categories you can define custom title, keywords, and description from there.

sorry eric,
Think my brain has gone a bit haywire. of course it does DOH !

I know it is not a question which is related to this topic, but can I ask has anybody made any really big and sucsessful classifieds websites and even turned it in to a full time job (just something i have often wondered

I know we have a few customers that make enough to this full time and seem even have employees to run it. I just can't share any details about the sites.
