Using the variables

[dreado]

I'm trying to create a dynamic url to display images that relate the page category title. I thought this might work
Content visible to registered users only. but it doesn't. :(
Any ideas?

Create a field in the DB to store image location, add that in the admin and you should be done.

Then simply call from the DB.

I just got done doing two sites that use something like this. If you need a programmer, let me know and I can really hook you up.

If you want an easy way (I think) modify the code. You surely are using modrewrite, so you can have pages like that: ofidir.com/Arts/Animation/

if you put that code, the browser will search the image in ofidir.com/Arts/images/

What you must do is to set a folder to store the images and put an absolute path, instead of a relative path, so if you misunderstood mi poor english, what you must do is use this code:

Content visible to registered users only.

What happens if you have two Cats of the same name, just in different SubCats?

You couldn't define the two seperate images eh?

Thanks Davilac, that is what I was trying to do, but I’m afraid using {$smarty.const.DOC_ROOT} makes no difference, I get exactly the same result – the url of the image just omits the {$cat.TITLE} part eg ...elisted.org/images/.gif

Content visible to registered users only.

That doesn’t bother me, because if the categories have the same name, then I’ll want the same image.

...anyone know if this method is possible?

dreado,

What is the link to your directory?

I don't have a way of modifying/testing it here, but if I can get FTP access than I'll look into it for you.

later

Thanks for the offer but I don't really want to give out login details.

The link is in my little toolbar thing (WWW)

I'd still like to know if Content visible to registered users only. is possible :D
