I need to add my own related site links and sidebar info that will vary according to category/subcategory.
Should I create different footers (footer1.php, footer2.php) or should I have different installs then for each category, each with their own footer, but all use same database? How would be the best way to implement this?
What an easy solution! Happy Monday, indeed! TY!
Hi,
No need for separate installations, if you just have a common html/footer.php you can dynamically include an additional file based on the category name of the product being viewed. Simply create your category dependent content files as
html/footer_Category-1.php
html/footer_Category-2.php
Use hyphens in place of spaces in the filenames, and make sure the capitalisation exactly matches how the category appears on your site. Then, all you need to do is add the following code at the required position:
<?phpif (isset($product_main) && $product_main["category"])
{
$filename = "html/footer_".tapestry_hyphenate($product_main["category"]).".php";
if (file_exists($filename))
{
require($filename);
}
}
?>
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
