Category Description

I’m not sure I follow you. I’m only trying to get the category description at the moment, not the tag description. How does that relate to errant 1?

Whoops. Crossed threads. My bad.

I will speak with the developer. are you able to show me the php around that use of print_r?

Maybe upload the template to dropbox and send me a link to it?

Thanks. I will speak with the developer and get back to you.

It is my code creating the 1. D’oh

Replace this:

echo '<pre>',print_r($sf_current_query),'</pre>';

with this:

echo '<pre>',print_r($sf_current_query,true),'</pre>';

The reason is that the 1 is confirmation that a result was returned. This is because print_r does this by default if you echo it. Adding the true parameter stops it doing that.

I am unsure why your original adds the 1 though.

Yeah that works thanks.

How do I combine the $sf_current_query,true

with

$currentCat = $sf_current_query['_sft_project_category']['active_terms'][0]['id'];

After you fetch $currentCat there, can you add this on the next line to see what is actually in it?

echo '<pre>',print_r($currentCat,true),'</pre>';

Yeah I just get the ID number printing after setting the filter so in my case 7 or 8.

I’ve added the ‘true’ in my echo statement now and it’s working as expected with no trimming of the 1 needed.

echo '<div class="cat-desc">' . category_description( $currentCat,true ) . '</div>';

Thanks for your help.
