Mario...

When I build a home page block,
And the title of the block appears...on the homepage...
Any chance I can link the title.
http://screencast.com/t/69fbkAv7M0VQ

Cause when a user scrolls down a long page..http://screencast.com/t/pNJpuNwv7
no channel list is on the left...

I looked in...
functions.php line 732, and found...

Code Select 
$label = '<a href="'.channel_url($cat->id, $cat->name).'" title="'. stripslashes($cat->name).'">'. stripslashes($cat->name).'[/url]';


But didnt' properly know how to add that to the header...
video-loop.php line 3
Code Select 
if(!empty($heading)) { echo '<h3 class="loop-heading"><span>'.stripslashes($heading).'</span></h3>';}

And was wondering if you could show me how.

Thanks so much.

Also, do you think this is a good thing to do for your core script? I do.

Why you never use the code tags? :)
It's an extra query attachment and I prefer to keep it as light as possible as when you'll have a tone of videos, your server will feel every single little extra query...
Best would be a jquery solution to make the cats list fixed on scrolling.
Happy with my help? Buy me a coffee.

I don't know the other way its required extra query to achive the target.

In sometime in your BLOCK you did not select the category then you need extra query, otherwise just need to edit existed to done your work.

If you always select the category for block edit this.

open /tpl/main/home.php

Find
Code Select 
$boxes = $db->get_results("SELECT * FROM ".DB_PREFIX."homepage ORDER BY `order`,`id` ASC");


Replace with:
Code Select 
$boxes = $db->get_results("SELECT * FROM ".DB_PREFIX."homepage LEFT JOIN ".DB_PREFIX."channels ON ".DB_PREFIX."homepage.ident=".DB_PREFIX."channels.cat_id ORDER BY `order`,`id` ASC");


Find:
Code Select 
$heading = $box->title;


Replace with:
Code Select 
$heading = '<a href="'.$url=channel_url($box->id, $box->cat_name).'">'.$box->title.'[/url]';




Other wise use this required extra query for every single block:


Find:
Code Select 
if(!empty($box->ident)){


Add After:
Code Select 
$heading_link= $db->get_row("SELECT * FROM ".DB_PREFIX."homepage  ORDER BY `order`,`id` ASC");
    if ($heading_link){
        
        $heading = '<a href="'.$url=channel_url($heading_link->id, $heading_link->cat_name).'">'.$heading_link->title.'[/url]';
    }


You have to done the Link style by yourself.

It's a bit funky, as if he doesn't have a channel for that block it will return an invalid link.

Isn't this a better approach?
Code Select 
if(isset($box->ident) && !empty($box->ident)){ 
$heading = '<a href="'.$url=channel_url($box->id, $box->cat_name).'">'.$box->title.'[/url]';
} else {
$heading = $box->title;
}



Thank you Sanishan! I'm making an massive upgrade to the admin panel and I didn't had time to look into it, but when you see the code like this, you realise improvements and you make them fast! Thanks for all the good work you do around!

Well..
I did what you said...
but the links didnt' match the channel numbers...
Apparently I didn't create them in the same order?


So I had to remove it.

My bad, this should work, i've passed the id of the box, instead of the category.

Perfect! Thank you so much...
I did notice tho.. above in your script in 2 places you have [/url] instead of
Code Select 
</a>


so for the newcomer.. the final code that worked for me. is..

Code Select 
//$boxes = $db->get_results("SELECT * FROM ".DB_PREFIX."homepage ORDER BY `order`,`id` ASC");
(commented out old by putting 2 //)
$boxes = $db->get_results("SELECT * FROM ".DB_PREFIX."homepage LEFT JOIN ".DB_PREFIX."channels ON ".DB_PREFIX."homepage.ident=".DB_PREFIX."channels.cat_id ORDER BY `order`,`id` ASC");

//$heading = $box->title;
$heading = '<a href="'.$url=channel_url($box->id, $box->cat_name).'">'.$box->title.'</a>';

if(!empty($box->ident)){ $c_add ="AND category = '".intval($box->ident)."'"; }
    if(isset($box->ident) && !empty($box->ident)){
        $heading = '<a href="'.$url=channel_url($box->ident, $box->cat_name).'">'.$box->title.'</a>';
    } else {
        $heading = $box->title;
    }


Thank you guys.. this is an awesome and major improvement!

rauljoseph,

Instead of trying to explain again.. I have attached the full file.... which will be easier if you haven't made any other changes to the file, or don't have to merge. Thanks.

You'll have to change the home.txt to home.php.

Hope that helps.
