How to Call Category ID number/Name without Link

[SolidSnake2003]

My Gallery

I have figured out how to get the category icons without having to upload them in the gallery itself.  Here is the code, I altered my theme's theme.php file

Code Select Expand

/******************************************************************************
** Section <<<theme_display_cat_list>>> - START
******************************************************************************/
function theme_display_cat_list($breadcrumb, &$cat_data, $statistics)
{
    global $template_cat_list, $lang_cat_list;
    if (count($cat_data) > 0) {
        starttable('100%');
        $template = template_extract_block($template_cat_list, 'header');
        $params = array(
                '{CATEGORY}' => $lang_cat_list['category'],
                '{ALBUMS}' => $lang_cat_list['albums'],
                '{PICTURES}' => $lang_cat_list['pictures'],
        );
        echo template_eval($template, $params);
    }

    $template_noalb = template_extract_block($template_cat_list, 'catrow_noalb');
    $template = template_extract_block($template_cat_list, 'catrow');
    foreach($cat_data as $category) {
        if (!isset($category['cat_icon'])) { $category['cat_icon'] = '<img src="http://www.mysite.net/cpg/images/categories/catid_(Add either the category number or name here.jpg" title="" alt="" width="80px" height="80px" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" />'; }
        if (!isset($category['cat_thumb'])) { $category['cat_thumb'] = ''; }
        if (count($category) == 3) {
            $params = array(
                    '{CAT_ICON}' => $category['cat_icon'],
                    '{CAT_TITLE}' => $category[0],
                    '{CAT_THUMB}' => $category['cat_thumb'],
                    '{CAT_DESC}' => $category[1],
            );
            echo template_eval($template_noalb, $params);
        } elseif (isset($category['cat_albums']) && ($category['cat_albums'] != '')) {
            $params = array(
                    '{CAT_ICON}' => $category['cat_icon'],
                    '{CAT_TITLE}' => $category[0],
                    '{CAT_THUMB}' => $category['cat_thumb'],
                    '{CAT_DESC}' => $category[1],
                    '{CAT_ALBUMS}' => $category['cat_albums'],
                    '{ALB_COUNT}' => cpg_float2decimal($category[2]),
                    '{PIC_COUNT}' => cpg_float2decimal($category[3]),
            );
            echo template_eval($template, $params);
        } else {
            $params = array(
                    '{CAT_ICON}' => $category['cat_icon'],
                    '{CAT_TITLE}' => $category[0],
                    '{CAT_THUMB}' => $category['cat_thumb'],
                    '{CAT_DESC}' => $category[1],
                    '{CAT_ALBUMS}' => '',
                    '{ALB_COUNT}' => cpg_float2decimal($category[2]),
                    '{PIC_COUNT}' => cpg_float2decimal($category[3]),
            );
            echo template_eval($template, $params);
        }
    }

    if ($statistics && count($cat_data) > 0) {
        $template = template_extract_block($template_cat_list, 'footer');
        $params = array('{STATISTICS}' => $statistics);
        echo template_eval($template, $params);
    }


    if (count($cat_data) > 0)
          endtable();
        echo template_extract_block($template_cat_list, 'spacer');
}

here is the template layout

Is there a way that I can call the category's id number, or the name without it including the link?

I guess you're talking about that line

Code Select Expand

        if (!isset($category['cat_icon'])) { $category['cat_icon'] = '<img src="http://www.mysite.net/cpg/images/categories/catid_(Add either the category number or name here.jpg" title="" alt="" width="80px" height="80px" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" />'; }
?

I'm not sure what you mean with

Is there a way that I can call the category's id number, or the name without it including the link?

Are you looking for a way to modify that line so it always adds the current category ID? E.g.

• http://www.mysite.net/cpg/images/categories/catid_2.jpg
• http://www.mysite.net/cpg/images/categories/catid_4.jpg
• http://www.mysite.net/cpg/images/categories/catid_8.jpg

?

yes that is exactly what I would like

is it possible?

According to your above code, find

Code Select Expand

        if (!isset($category['cat_icon'])) { $category['cat_icon'] = '<img src="http://www.mysite.net/cpg/images/categories/catid_(Add either the category number or name here.jpg" title="" alt="" width="80px" height="80px" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" />'; }
and replace with

Code Select Expand

        preg_match('/<a href="index\.php\?cat=([0-9]+)">/', $category[0], $matches);
        if (!isset($category['cat_icon'])) { $category['cat_icon'] = '<img src="http://www.mysite.net/cpg/images/categories/catid_'.$matches[1].'.jpg" title="" alt="" width="80px" height="80px" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" />'; }
