Erick:

Hi, great tutorial. I did a little tweak, and it’s seem didn’t work.

Here is the code.

function getCategoryTreeIDs($qs_type_id) {
$crumbsql = “SELECT parent_id FROM lists WHERE id=$qs_type_id”;
$crumbresult = tep_db_query($crumbsql);
$crumbrow = tep_db_fetch_array($crumbresult);
$path = array();
if (!$crumbrow['parent_id'] == ”) {
$path[] = $crumbrow['parent_id'];
$path = array_merge($this->getCategoryTreeIDs($crumbrow['parent_id']), $path);
}
return $path;
}
function showCatBreadCrumb($qs_type_id) {
$array = $this->getCategoryTreeIDs($qs_type_id);
$numItems = count($array);
for ($i = 0; $igetNameLink($array[$i]) . ‘ » ‘;
}
}

Can you tell me, what’s wrong with the code. Because when i clicked on categories, the breadcrumb didn’t show.

Many thanks.

Just from a quick glance, your loop in your showcatbtreadcrumb function looks off. $igetNameLink should be a condition E.g. $i<10 ….

Here is the code.

function getCategoryTreeIDs($qs_type_id) {
$crumbsql = “SELECT parent_id FROM lists WHERE id=$qs_type_id”;
$crumbresult = tep_db_query($crumbsql);
$crumbrow = tep_db_fetch_array($crumbresult);
$path = array();
if (!$crumbrow['parent_id'] == ”) {
$path[] = $crumbrow['parent_id'];
$path = array_merge($this->getCategoryTreeIDs($crumbrow['parent_id']), $path);
}
return $path;
}
function showCatBreadCrumb($qs_type_id) {
$array = $this->getCategoryTreeIDs($qs_type_id);
$numItems = count($array);
for ($i = 0; $igetNameLink($array[$i]) . ‘ » ‘;
}
}

Can you tell me, what’s wrong with the code. Because when i clicked on categories, the breadcrumb didn’t show.

Many thanks.

baris:

how can i use this on a php page? when i do showCatBreadCrumb($cat); i get this error: Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in C:\AppServ\www\s\inc\position.php on line 73

That’s because the mthods are intended to be used as part of a class and not as standalone functions – as $this-> implies. I’d highly reocmmend you go have a read of some basic php tutorials at w3schools.com.
