Solution to missing pathway on content pages
Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2006 10:24 pm
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...
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 .= $mystack[$j][0].' ';
if($mystack[($j-1)][0])
$yoncaPath .= '<img src="images/M_images/arrow.png" alt="arrow"> ';
}
$yoncaPath .= '</span>';
echo $yoncaPath;
}
else
{
mosPathWay();
}
?>
