Solution to missing pathway on content pages

[lashae]

On content pages my system was not showing the pathway although Itemid's were set. I developed the following solution and it works; it has to work in deed

First of all i made all content links in the menus to UNIQUE ITEMID

Then replaced the standard mospathway() statement in the template file with the following; which take cares of the generation of the pathway for content pages itself...

Code: Select all

<?php 
	
$opt	= trim(strip_tags(addslashes($_REQUEST['option'])));
$Itemid	= trim(strip_tags(addslashes($_REQUEST['Itemid'])));

if($opt == 'com_content' && isset($Itemid) )
{
	$parento = $Itemid;
	$mystack		= array();
		$mn = -1;
		while($parento!=0)
		{		
			$mn++;
			$sql		= "SELECT id, name, link, parent FROM portal_menu WHERE id=".$parento;
			$gelenp		= @mysql_query($sql);
			$pathD		= @mysql_fetch_array($gelenp);
			$parento	= $pathD['parent'];
			$mystack[$mn][0]= $pathD['name'];
			$mystack[$mn][1]= $pathD['link'].'&Itemid='.$pathD['id'];		
		}

	$yoncaPath = '<span class="pathway">';
	//Pathway Anasayfa ile baslar...
	$yoncaPath .= 'Anasayfa '; // Homepage link text
	$yoncaPath .= '<img src="images/M_images/arrow.png" alt="arrow"> ';

	for($j=$mn; $j>=0; $j--)
	{
		//Pathway Anasayfa ile baþlar...
		$yoncaPath .=	$mystack[$j][0].' ';
		if($mystack[($j-1)][0])
			$yoncaPath .=	'<img src="images/M_images/arrow.png" alt="arrow"> ';
	}
	$yoncaPath .= '</span>';
	echo $yoncaPath;	
}
else
{
	mosPathWay(); 
}
?>

Additionally:

I didn't want to make pathway clickable for content pages, however if you need to make all items in the pathway links; you can benefit from the following snippet:

Code: Select all

<?php 
	
$opt	= trim(strip_tags(addslashes($_REQUEST['option'])));
$Itemid	= trim(strip_tags(addslashes($_REQUEST['Itemid'])));

if($opt == 'com_content' && isset($Itemid) )
{
	$parento = $Itemid;
	$mystack		= array();
		$mn = -1;
		while($parento!=0)
		{		
			$mn++;
			$sql		= "SELECT id, name, link, parent FROM portal_menu WHERE id=".$parento;
			$gelenp		= @mysql_query($sql);
			$pathD		= @mysql_fetch_array($gelenp);
			$parento	= $pathD['parent'];
			$mystack[$mn][0]= $pathD['name'];
			$mystack[$mn][1]= $pathD['link'].'&Itemid='.$pathD['id'];		
		}

	$yoncaPath = '<span class="pathway">';
	//Pathway Anasayfa ile baslar...
	$yoncaPath .= 'Anasayfa '; // Homepage link text
	$yoncaPath .= '<img src="images/M_images/arrow.png" alt="arrow"> ';

	for($j=$mn; $j>=0; $j--)
	{
		//Pathway Anasayfa ile baþlar...
		$yoncaPath .=	'<a class="pathway" href="'.$mystack[$j][1].'">'.$mystack[$j][0].'</a> ';
		if($mystack[($j-1)][0])
			$yoncaPath .=	'<img src="images/M_images/arrow.png" alt="arrow"> ';
	}
	$yoncaPath .= '</span>';
	echo $yoncaPath;	
}
else
{
	mosPathWay(); 
}
?>
