[Solved]: call category from front page

[Halfhidden]

Hi, I need to be able to call several categories from the front page of Coppermine a buttons. Fore instance, I wrote this in bbcode and placed it in the category description.

Code Select Expand

[[url=picturepenzance.co.uk/index.php?cat=65/]Fishing Vessels[/url] This works ok but I really need to to call pages internally is it possible to do this please?

Regards,
Steff

Depends what you mean by internally.

Hi Nibbler, I just want to call the categories without calling the full url... I was rather hoping that I could get away with something like [page][\page] or something like that but that's not supported I think.

doesn't work that way I guess?

What's wrong with just this?

Code Select Expand

[url=index.php?cat=65/]Fishing Vessels[/url]

Oh.

include/functions.inc.php

find

Code Select Expand

$bbcode_tpl['url4'] = str_replace('{URL}', 'http://\\1', $bbcode_tpl['url']);

Change to

Code Select Expand

$bbcode_tpl['url4'] = str_replace('{URL}', '\\1', $bbcode_tpl['url']);

Thanks... I'll give that a go. The reason is that I'm looking to an iframe in the future for an external site but if I call an external url whilst in an iframe the results will be a site within a site.... does that make sense?

Thanks again for your help.
