      Re: Use Custom Category Fields in Subcategory listing

      You may want to transition to using Miva Merchant's stock custom field capabilities: http://www.mivamerchant.com/videos/a...-documentation

      That said, the customcategoryc Toolkit function needs to be within the sub-category foreach loop for it to properly pickup l.all_settings:sub_category:code for each of those subcats.

          Re: Use Custom Category Fields in Subcategory listing

          okay i get that and that made it display it but i want it to be within the link.

          Code:
          <div class="subcat-header">Gold Rose Anniversary Gifts Delivery Service Areas</div><div id="subcategory-listing">
    <mvt:foreach iterator="sub_category" array="sub_categories">
        <mvt:if expr="(pos1 MOD 4) EQ 1">
            <div class="subcategory-wrapper first">
        <mvt:else>
            <div class="subcategory-wrapper">
        </mvt:if>
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="customcategoryc|anchortext|l.all_settings:sub_category:code|AHT" />
[COLOR=#ff0000][I]&mvte:global:anchortext;[/I][/COLOR]
        <mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:sub_category:customfield_values:customfields:AHT">
            <a href="/&mvt:sub_category:code;.html" title="&mvt:sub_category:name;">&mvt:sub_category:customfield_values:customfields:AHT;</a>
        <mvt:else>
            <a href="/&mvt:sub_category:code;.html" title="&mvt:sub_category:name;">&mvt:sub_category:name;</a>
        </mvt:if>
        </div>
    </mvt:foreach>
</div>
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:product_count GT 0">
<div class="subcat-header">Products</div>
<mvt:else>
<div></div>
</mvt:if>
          when i move the &mvte:global:anchortext; into the link it no longer displays. it skips the first if statement and displays the else. the following code is my attempt to have it displayed as a link

          Code:
          <div class="subcat-header">Gold Rose Anniversary Gifts Delivery Service Areas</div><div id="subcategory-listing">
    <mvt:foreach iterator="sub_category" array="sub_categories">
        <mvt:if expr="(pos1 MOD 4) EQ 1">
            <div class="subcategory-wrapper first">
        <mvt:else>
            <div class="subcategory-wrapper">
        </mvt:if>
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="customcategoryc|anchortext|l.all_settings:sub_category:code|AHT" />
        <mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:sub_category:customfield_values:customfields:AHT">
            <a href="/&mvt:sub_category:code;.html" title="&mvt:sub_category:name;">[COLOR=#ff0000][I]&mvte:global:anchortext;[/I][/COLOR]</a>
        <mvt:else>
            <a href="/&mvt:sub_category:code;.html" title="&mvt:sub_category:name;">&mvt:sub_category:name;</a>
        </mvt:if>
        </div>
    </mvt:foreach>
</div>
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:product_count GT 0">
<div class="subcat-header">Products</div>
<mvt:else>
<div></div>
</mvt:if>

              Re: Use Custom Category Fields in Subcategory listing

              You need to test against the g.anchortext variable, not l.settings:sub_category:customfield_values:customf ields:AHT

              Code:
              <mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL g.anchortext">
              or

              Code:
              <mvt:if expr="g.anchortext">
