well, I thought I was getting close to figuring this out but I am still
missing the boat...(if I had $1 for everyboat I missed I would have bought
the boat by now)
I have a root page, it is active...it lists all of the topics and
descriptions for a category...the idea is that the topic name is a link
into the topic, there is a <[topic]> (listed further down) that should take
me into the topic and list all of the articles which are childeren of that
topic..the link works, it goes to /topicname/ but then it seems to go back
to the root page for content...it seems like either A) it is not picking up
the topic condition and going off to the topic subpage or ...well that
seems to be it...also I am having trouble finding a way to pass the
variable topic ID into the <?$article
=mgd_list_topic_articles(topic.id);....I think...though I haven't gotten to
run that far.....
any suggestions?....a raft of code follows (little boat pun there)
<? if ($article) { ?>
<[article2]>
<? } else {
if ($topic) { ?>
<[topic]>
<? } ?>
<tr height="98">
<td width="1" height="98"><spacer type="block"
width="1"
height="98"></td>
<td width="486" height="98" colspan="5" rowspan="1"
valign="top"
align="left" xpos="77" content csheight="92">
<!-- Fetch the news -->
<? $article = mgd_list_topic_articles(41);
if ($article) for ($i = 0; $i < 5 && $article->fetch(); $i++) { ?>
<!-- Get only 3 newest -->
<p><font
face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><strong><H2>&(articl
e.title);</H2></strong>
</strong>
<? } ?>
<? if ($article->abstract) { ?>
&(article.abstract);<br>
<? } ?>
</p>
<? } ?>
<p><strong><h3>Development Departments....</h3></strong><br>
<? $topic= mgd_list_topics(41);
if ($topic) for ($i = 0; $i < 25 && $topic->fetch(); $i++) { ?>
<strong><a href="/&(topic.name);/">&(topic.name);</a></strong><br><br>
<? if ($topic->description) { ?>
&(topic.description);<br><br>
<? } ?>
<? } ?>
</font>
</td>
As per Cat's suggestion I added a line to the code-init ( I "borrowed" the
code-init from the demo site...I still am fuzzy on when it gets called
though
if ($id) $topic = mgd_get_topic($id);
there is a page element called <[topic]>
<? if ($article) { ?>
<[article2]>
<? } ?>
<tr height="98">
<!-- this is stupid but I will try -->
<? if ($topic->id) { ?>
<td width="1" height="98"><spacer type="block"
width="1"
height="98"></td>
<td width="486" height="98" colspan="5" rowspan="1"
valign="top"
align="left" xpos="77" content csheight="92">
<!-- Fetch the news -->
<? $article = mgd_list_topic_articles(topic.id);
if ($article) for ($i = 0; $i < 5 && $article->fetch(); $i++) { ?>
<p><font

e.title);</H2></strong>
</strong>
<? } ?>
<? if ($article->abstract) { ?>
&(article.abstract);<br>
<? } ?>
</p>
<? } ?>
<p><strong>Development Departments....</strong><br>
<? $topic= mgd_list_topic_articles_all(41);
if ($topic) for ($i = 0; $i < 25 && $topic->fetch(); $i++) { ?>
<strong><a

<? } ?>
