smarty tag <%$keywords|

[echo@]

Hi

I have been looking for a thread or some documentation either on the Nicecoder community and the smarty website, but im struggling to pinpoint.

Basically im modifying the rows.html to display the keywords tag but I don’t want all keywords displayed for the listing. I would like to truncate the keywords tag to display the first 4 keywords.

Is there a switch to add to the end of the <%$keywords| to display this?

Thanks

i think you can only truncate to a certain number of characters, not words, if you want to do that its:

<%$keywords|truncate:150%> to trim to 150chars.

Thanks inspireme this works, but i had to apply this to the details_link.html page just to test as the <%$keywords$> tag on rows.html only returns the phrase "ARRAY".

Does this mean i have to ad the varible somewhere to get it working on this page?

%$keywords$> tag on rows.html only returns the phrase "ARRAY".

Does this mean i have to ad the varible somewhere to get it working on this page?

I'm far from being a programmer, but I'm pretty sure its suppose to be <%$keywords%> not <%$keywords$>

sorry, typo on the thread....

its correct code on rows.html, wonder why its displaying "array" when <%$keywords%> is dropped there?

Ok...

I'm going to take a stab at this.... <%$keywords%> works on the detail_links.html page but doesn't work on rows.html.

If I'm correct, detail_links.html uses detail.php in the root, and rows.html uses browse.php in the root.

If we look at detail.php in the root we see :

  function ShowDetailPage() {

    // vars global configuration
    global $dbConn, $theme_name, $theme_path, $rev_max_rows, $category_separator;

    // vars url & form
    global $id;

    // vars messages
    global $msg;

    // vars template
    global $link_detail, $pagination, $review_rows, $ofc_review, $page_title,
             $link_id, $link_title, $link_description, $link_keywords,
             $category_id, $category_name, $category_path, $category_path_with_link,
             $num_review, $avg_review, $avg_review_image;


    $tpl = new Template();

    $links_obj = new clsLink;
    $links_obj->query                 = "select * from idx_link where link_id = '$id'";
    $links_obj->table_name            = "idx_link";
    $links_obj->category_table_name   = "idx_category";
    $links_obj->review_table_name     = "idx_review";
    $links_obj->category_separator    = $category_separator;
    $links_obj->max_rows              = 1;
    $links_obj->rating_image_path     = "themes/" . $theme_name . "/images/rating/";
    $links_obj->rev_rating_image_path = "themes/" . $theme_name . "/images/review/";
    $links_obj->date_format           = $msg["10161"];
    $links_obj->template_file         = $theme_path . "detail_link.html";
    $link_detail                      = $links_obj->Display();

    // link data
    $query = "select * from idx_link where link_id = '$id'";
    $row   = $dbConn->FetchOne($query);
    $link_id          = $id;
    $link_title       = $row["title"];
    $link_description = strip_tags($row["description"]);
    $link_keywords    = strip_tags($row["keywords"]);
    $page_title       = $link_title; 

and if we look at browse.php we see this :

  function ShowCategoryPage() {

    // vars global configuration
    global $dbConn, $theme_path, $number_of_links_format,
             $cat_default_image, $cat_columns, $max_sub_cat, $cat_link_style,
             $cat_path_link_style, $subcat_link_style, $cat_table_width,
             $cat_cellspacing, $max_rows, $category_separator, $theme_name,
             $cat_description_format, $site_url;

    // vars url & form
    global $cat, $pg_which;

    // vars messages
    global $msg;

    // vars template
    global $header, $footer, $category, $category_name, $category_description,
             $link, $pagination, $category_path, $content, $editor,
             $category_path_search_opt, $meta_keywords, $meta_description,
             $page_title, $editors, $sponsored_link, $num_rows,
             $num_rows_sponsored, $num_rows_premium;

    $tpl = new Template();

    $category_obj = new clsCategory;
    $category_obj->table_name      = "idx_category";
    $category_obj->link_table_name = "idx_link";

    $page_title                    = $category_obj->GetPageTitle($cat);
    if (empty($page_title)) {
      $page_title = $msg["10011"] . $category_separator . $category_obj->GetCategoryPath($cat);
    }

    $header                        = $category_obj->GetHeader($cat);
    $footer                        = $category_obj->GetFooter($cat);
    $meta_keywords                 = $category_obj->GetMetaKeyword($cat);
    $meta_description              = $category_obj->GetMetaDescription($cat);
    $content                       = $category_obj->GetContent($cat);

    $category_obj->separator       = $category_separator;
    $category_obj->header          = $msg["10012"];
    $category_name                 = $category_obj->GetCategoryName($cat);
    $category_description          = $category_obj->GetCategoryDescription($cat);
    $category_path                 = $category_obj->GetCategoryPath($cat, TRUE);
    $category_path                 = "<a href=\"$site_url/\" style=\"$cat_path_link_style\">"
                                       . $msg["10011"] . "</a>"
                                       . $category_obj->separator
                                       . $category_path;
    $category_path_search_opt      = $category_obj->GetCategoryPath($cat); 

So whats the difference between the two???

In detail.php, the keywords are being called here:

    // vars template
    global $link_detail, $pagination, $review_rows, $ofc_review, $page_title,
             $link_id, $link_title, $link_description, $link_keywords,
             $category_id, $category_name, $category_path, $category_path_with_link,
             $num_review, $avg_review, $avg_review_image; 

and here:

   // link data
    $query = "select * from idx_link where link_id = '$id'";
    $row   = $dbConn->FetchOne($query);
    $link_id          = $id;
    $link_title       = $row["title"];
    $link_description = strip_tags($row["description"]);
    $link_keywords    = strip_tags($row["keywords"]);
    $page_title       = $link_title; 

So I'm guessing that in browse.php you need to add $link_keywords to your //var templates and add $link_keywords = strip_tags($row["keywords"]); around line 60.

Now after I typed all of this out, I just noticed that there is a $meta_keywords being called in browse.php. What that means, I have NO IDEA!!! LOL

I'm putting my disclaimer in here:

My advice... Allow someone 1,000,000 times smarter than me on this board to tell you if I'm right or completely wrong!!!

Thanks for the help FSGDAG, I thought it had to be browse.php, unfortunately to no avail nice try

I would like to see some documentation on how indexu html files relate back to the appropriate php, and to see a guide for template variables.

I have some more questions to ask, but dont want to start another thread till I have this sorted.

BTW roflma disclaimer I have backups so do your worst, thanks for your help
