phpMyFAQ 2.7.5

I was wondering where to edit so I can change the content of {showCategories} from:

Code: Select all

<li><a id="category_1" title="This is for any questions NOT covered in the other topics." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=1">General -</a></li>
   <li><a class="active" id="category_0" title="To discuss anything concerning registration." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=0">Resistration -</a>
      <ul class="subcat">
      <li><a id="category_9" title="How to use the Sign-Up Page" href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=9">&#149; Sign-Up Page</a></li>
      <li><a id="category_10" title="How to confirm that the address you entered belongs to you." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=10">&#149; Confirm Your Email Address</a></li>
      <li><a id="category_11" title="How to set your password." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=11">&#149; Set Your Password</a></li>
      <li><a id="category_12" title="The Last Step." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=12">&#149; Log-In</a></li>
      </ul>
   </li>
   <li><a id="category_3" title="Questions about the Member Login process." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=3">Member Login -</a></li>
   <li><a id="category_4" title="Information about the Privacy Policy." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=4">Privacy Policy -</a></li>
   <li><a id="category_5" title="Information about the T.O.S.(Terms Of Service)." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=5">T.O.S.(Terms Of Service) -</a></li>
   <li><a id="category_6" title="Information about theF.A.Q.(Frequently Asked Questions) area." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=6">F.A.Q.(Frequently Asked Questions) Area -</a></li>
   <li><a id="category_7" title="Information about the Contact Us Page." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=7">Contact Us -</a></li>
   <li><a id="category_8" title="Information about how to use the Chat Area." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=8">Member Chat -</a></li>

And change to this:

Code: Select all

<a id="category_1" title="This is for any questions NOT covered in the other topics." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=1">General -</a>
   <a class="active" id="category_0" title="To discuss anything concerning registration." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=0">Registration -</a>
      <a id="category_9" title="How to use the Sign-Up Page" href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=9">&#149; Sign-Up Page</a>
      <a id="category_10" title="How to confirm that the address you entered belongs to you." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=10">&#149; Confirm Your Email Address</a>
      <a id="category_11" title="How to set your password." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=11">&#149; Set Your Password</a>
      <a id="category_12" title="The Last Step." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=12">&#149; Log-In</a>

   <a id="category_3" title="Questions about the Member Login process." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=3">Member Login -</a>
   <a id="category_4" title="Information about the Privacy Policy." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=4">Privacy Policy -</a>
   <a id="category_5" title="Information about the T.O.S.(Terms Of Service)." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=5">T.O.S.(Terms Of Service) -</a>
   <a id="category_6" title="Information about theF.A.Q.(Frequently Asked Questions) area." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=6">F.A.Q.(Frequently Asked Questions) Area -</a>
   <a id="category_7" title="Information about the Contact Us Page." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=7">Contact Us -</a>
   <a id="category_8" title="Information about how to use the Chat Area." href="/content/faq_page/index.php?action=show&amp;cat=8">Member Chat -</a>

Basically, I would like to gain control of what goes where <li></li> and <ul></ul> tags are now.

Thanks for any advice..

Hi,

you can find the code in /inc/PMF_Helper/Category.php in the function renderCategoryNavigation()

Thank you!

Where can I change the class of the links? I would like to change the links that were <li></li> and <ul></ul> both to individual different classes to match my template.

Also, I would like to know if there is a way that I could add a query string to the end of every link. This would allow me to continue to track affiliates traffic.

Thanks....

Hi,

it's in inc/Category.php in the method addCategoryLink()

Thank you.

The code I see on the page is here:

Code: Select all

public function addCategoryLink($sids, $categoryId, $categoryName, $description, $hasChildren = false, $isActive = false)
    {
        $url              = sprintf('%saction=show&cat=%d', $sids, $categoryId);
        $oLink            = new PMF_Link(PMF_Link::getSystemRelativeUri().'?'.$url);
        $oLink->id        = 'category_' . $categoryId;
        $oLink->itemTitle = $categoryName;
        $oLink->text      = $categoryName;
       
        if ($hasChildren) {
            $oLink->text .= sprintf(' <img src="%s/images/more.gif" width="11" height="11" alt="%s" style="border: none; vertical-align: middle;" />',
                PMF_Configuration::getInstance()->get('main.referenceURL'),
                $categoryName);
        }
       
        if ($isActive) {
            $oLink->class = 'active';
        }
       
        $oLink->tooltip = $description;
       
        return $oLink->toHtmlAnchor();
    }

How do I change it so the main category links have

Code: Select all

 class="purple"

and sub-category links have

Code: Select all

class="pink"

?

Thanks....

[Thorsten]

Hi,

please add after

Code: Select all

$oLink->text = $categoryName;

the following code:

Code: Select all

$oLink->class = 'special';

and change the line

Code: Select all

$oLink->class = 'active';

to

Code: Select all

$oLink->class = 'active special';

Then add the your CSS defintion to template/default/css/style.css to the lines 203 and following where the category CSS is defined.
