<%if category_links > 1%>
Hello,



this line isn't giving me what I am looking for. I would like to base a conditional statement on categories with more than one link in any given category. Any ideas?

I think you need >= (greater than or equal).

Okay,Smile but the condition is that there is more than one link, and both ways this is not working. It's possible I am missing a little something in the syntaxCrazy

You're welcome.

If you want to know what tags are available on a page, just put

<%GT::Template::dump%>

at the bottom of the page. This really helps.

As Yogi said, you need to try a <%GT::Template::dump%> in the template, to see what tag it is you need to use. You may want to post the contents here.

I did exactly that. I do not have the two tags mentioned by Yogi in the list. Again this is a detailed page. Not a category page, could that be what is causing the tags not to be listed?

Do you have a URL we can look at to see what tags are available? (i.e a detailed page that was built with the dump tag in).

Ok, and you are trying to check the number of hits, or links in a category?

I don't think this is possible. You may have to write a global to do it....Frown

Try this global
Code:
sub {
my $link_id = shift;
my ($cat_id, $cat_name) = each %{$DB->table('Links')->get_categories ($link_id)};
return $DB->table('CatLinks')->count( { CategoryID => $cat_id });
}
and use it as

<%category_links($ID)%>

in your details template. This should give the number ofl links in the same category

Isn't there a global already in that dump doing that?
