News/Articles Block/Pages: Clickable LinksApril 23, 2007 @ 8:33pm
Displays Articles As Clickable Links Only

Simply paste the following code into a block and enable PHP on it.


Code

$query_na = "SELECT * FROM `".$Settings['DBPrefix']."na-Categories` WHERE
Parent='0' ORDER BY CategoryName asc";

$result_na = mysql_query($query_na) or die (mysql_error());
while ($row_na = mysql_fetch_array($result_na)) {

print '<a
href="'.$MainURL.'/articles/'.$row_na['RecordNumber'].'.html">'.$row_na['CategoryName'].'</a><br>';

}

}


I added the above mentioned code in a block and it returns nothing. I cannot tell that it was added. Is something missing from the code? Thank you

Grady,

It looks like there's a line break/return that shouldn't be in there, and that's causing nothing to display. I've fixed the code above, so you can paste that in again, or simply remove the line break to bring "egoryName'].'</a><br>';". up to the end of the line above it.

The code still will not display articlesJune 24, 2007 @ 3:35am
I appreciate the speediness of your reply, but the code will stillnot return article links. I copied the code exactly as you have it and pasted it into the code box of a new block and enabled php processing.

Grady,

Sorry to hear you're still having problems. It worked fine on a site I tested it on just now.

It's perhaps worth noting that this script generates a list of the article categories, not the actual articles. Is that what you were expecting, or do you not have any categories in the system right now for it to display?

Works GreatJune 24, 2007 @ 4:38pm
David, Thank you. The script did something different than what i thought and it also required I create an article category. The script would not work without my creating an article category. Thank you and I am impressed with the level of customer service and speed of service. Grady
