In keeping with the other template mods, adding an edit button on categories for on the fly editing is very handy for me.

open shopdisplaycategories.asp

at about line 138 find :

if Template = "" or isnull(template) then
Template = GetConfig("xcategorydisplayTemplate")
if Template = "" then
SError = GetLang("LangExdNoTemplate")
ShopError SError
end if

Change it to :

if Template = "" or isnull(template) then
Template = GetConfig("xcategorydisplayTemplate")

if session("shopadmin")<>"" then template="tmp_categorytemplate_admin.htm"

if Template = "" then
SError = GetLang("LangExdNoTemplate")
ShopError SError
end if

Then copy tmp_categorytemplate.htm to tmp_categorytemplate_admin.htm

Edit the new admin template

Find

[formatimage sub]

change it to :

[formatimage sub]
<br /><a href="/(your admin directory)/shopa_addcategory.asp?page=1&which=[categoryid]&IDField=categoryid&table=categories&Database=">Edit</a>

Now you can have instant edits for your categories in the category pages.

It works, but we need to login as admin first. if not, "Unauthorized administrator" will appear.

Thanks apswater!

It shouldn''t show the edit link if you are not logged in because it only appears on the admin template and that only shows when you are logged in as admin.
