Can any confirm that this is working in 9.7 version of pligg.

I click on my categories under the header but no subcategories appear. Looking at the code where the subcategory bar should appear i only have empty <span></span>

This has been tried with both codes in this thread on a new installation of pligg.

If it makes any difference i am using Simplifed Chinese lang on the script. But as this is just he lang file it should not affect anything else right?

Thanks for any help, i would love to get this going. And have wasted a lot of time in futile trying to get it working..

Yes, it works well with version 9.7.
Please create the categorie and sub categories first through the admin panel.

Yes i have categories and sub categories, but it doesn't work. After clicking on category the category contents load, but the sub category bar is not shown (on screen or in the code)

Does this mods rely on any other setting in admin.

My 9.7 installation is basically out-the-box.

Are you sure you have sub-categories - created - if they are present - it will get displayed.

Dollars5,

The sub-categories don't get displayed on my install of Pligg9.7 as well. The env: IIS6+PHP5.2.3+Mysql5.0.27... It can only display the main cat... can you shed some light on it again?

Thanks!

I have no idea on how the IIS will behave - and only tested on apache+php

How it works is that it reads the request_category, tried to find the parent category of the sub-cat or if it is the parent category itself. then it goes on to display the main and sub categories (in the code you will find two section loops)

Also in story pages - there is no possibility of reading the story category - so the sub-cat will get ignored.

Dollars5,

Do I find a right fix?
The cause:
Yes. the code is working fine with categories all in English, however NOT in a double-byte language like Chinese. {$cat_array[thecat].safename eq $requested_cat} can never be equal since safename is url_encoded, however $requested_cat not.
My workaround:
in libs/smartyvariables line around:18, change:sanitize($_REQUEST['category'], to
urlencode(sanitize($_REQUEST['category']). Then the header category code is working cool for both Chinese and English. However, I'm not sure if this change would bring trouble in for the rest of Pligg. Could you advice on it?

Thanks again!

Never tried on other languages either, will try on it when free to see if I can get any solution.

Hi! Great mod!

Is there a way to change link of the thumbnail to point to the URL of story or the URL of the website that contains the story?

Thanks!!

? I did not get what you meant - probably if you can elaborate, we can help.
