Need help editing showphoto.tmpl

[trgreen]

I'm trying to use javascript to count page views using a third-party company called Omniture. I've been doing it for months by putting the javascript in the showphoto.tmpl template. Works great. But...

Now I need to put in another set of this js code that is specific to a particular category. I tried this, and it didn't work:

if ($cat == 1070) {
javascript code here
}

The template displayed fine but I saw this at the bottom of the page:

if (1070 == 1070) {}

when i went to that category, and the omniture code showed up properly when i viewed source. So far so good, except for seeing the conditional on the page.

But, I saw this:

if (1036 == 1070) {}

on the page when I went to another category. And the omniture js code was there too, which is wrong.

So... i think the use of the $cat variable is correct, but the conditional is not peing processed correctly.

What am I doing wrong? And is there some place else I should put that code?

Any help or ideas appreciated!

NOTE: I'm using PhotoPost Pro version 5. Would version 6 help me in any way to do this?

I would suspect your not escaping your html and going back to php in that template. This is what it would look like if you place it within the html somewhere

Thanks. But... I just found a problem -- probably with my logic.

Here's the thing: when I go to the specific military category from the front of PhotoPost, it works fine -- I get the Omniture code like I should. And when I go to another category (non-military) through the front of PhotoPost, I DON'T get the Omniture could, which is correct.

However... when I click another (non-military) image from the vertical list beside the photo in showphoto WHILE viewing a photo while I'm in the military category, the query keeps the military category in the URL, and therefore, the Omniture code shows up when it's not supposed to.

In other words, while viewing a military photo in the military category, if I click on a non-military photo, the military category seems to be carried along, and that gives me a "false positive" on a military photo view.

I hope this makes sense... and I hope there's a way to do it. Can I maybe expand the conditional?

Maybe use the variable $dbcat instead in your code?

That did it. Thanks for making something I was very worried about easy to fix!

Not a problem at all.
