How can i remove the link from my category titles?

swiftmed · 10-06-2007, 09:08 PM

Hey Guys,

Currently the titles of my categories in my coloum_left links to that particular category. on this occasion i dont want the category title to link to anything, but instead just be there as a category name. can anybody make sense of the code below and posibly edit it for me so that my category titles do not link to anything.

so you understand what i mean by category titles please see this page: http://www.strathfieldbrookvale.com.au/ - in the left menu, i do not want the words "Menu" and "Electronics" to link to anything.

PHP Code:

   $categories_string .= '<tr><td class=ch3[b]><a class=ch3 href=';

 
if ($tree[$counter]['parent'] == 0) {

$cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $counter;

} else {

$cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $tree[$counter]['path'];

}

$categories_string .= tep_href_link('index.php', $cPath_new) . '>';

// display categry name

$categories_string .= $tree[$counter]['name'];

$categories_string .= '</a>[/b]</td></tr>';

$categories_string .= '<tr><td height=16></td></tr>

if you ANCHOR tags between <a class=ch3 TO </a> the category will not produce a link. The exact syntax may not be correct, but the <a> </a> is causing your top level to link.

Here's my attempt at PHP below.

PHP Code:

   $categories_string .= '<tr><td class=ch3>';

 
if ($tree[$counter]['parent'] == 0) {

$categories_string .= $tree[$counter]['name'];

$categories_string .= '</td></tr>';

$categories_string .= '<tr><td height=16></td></tr>
