Page Heading and Image Display

Hi there.

Thanks for posting!

Let's go over this one point at a time starting with the category headers. This is a fairly common thing so there is already some code you can try using. Check out this post:


http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=71704#71704


The example there is grouping staff members but the concept is exactly the same. Make sure you order this section by the category field and then try out that code. You'll need to make sure you swap in the proper variables for $our_staffRecords and $record['category']

Let me know how you make out with that. I think for now, just post back to this thread if you wanted to go over any part of that in more detail.

Thanks!

Hi Ross

i have done that but still the same thing i keep getting line after line have a look at the site http://www.srotechnology.com/products.php?section=Dynamic%20Beltscale%20Systems

I have also put the code here for you.

Also please dont forget about the other question about the images on the first post please this is just as important as this issue.

thanks

Craig

Hi Ross

I found how to fix the issue i had to change the code to look like this

<?php $lastCategory = ''; ?>
<?php foreach ($productsRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if ($lastCategory != $record['section']): ?>
<?php echo $record['section'] ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php $lastCategory = $record['section']; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

if i did it like this i would multipule lines of section headers

<?php $lastCategory = ''; ?>
<?php foreach ($productsRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if ($lastCategory != $record['category']): ?>
<h1><?php echo $record['section'] ?></h1>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $record['section'] ?><br/>
<?php $lastCategory = $record['section']; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>


so now it looks all ok now i just need to get that image issue fixed.

thanks and await your reply.

Hi Craig

That's perfect :).

I hadn't forgotten your other question. It's always better to look at things one at a time so I was just making sure we got the category stuff taken care of first.

Now that it's done we can move onto the images. Can you post me a copy of the default code for your images. You can get that from your code generator. It will be a foreach loop (within the main foreachloop).

Thanks!

Hi Ross

here is the code


<!-- STEP2: Display Records (Paste this where you want your records to be listed) -->
<h1>Products - List Page Viewer</h1>
<?php foreach ($productsRecords as $record): ?>
Record Number: <?php echo $record['num'] ?><br/>
Sort Order: <?php echo $record['sort_order'] ?><br/>
Section: <?php echo $record['section'] ?><br/>
Name: <?php echo $record['name'] ?><br/>
Product ID: <?php echo $record['product_id_sku'] ?><br/>
Description: <?php echo $record['description'] ?><br/>
_link : <a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['_link'] ?></a><br/>


<!-- STEP 2a: Display Uploads for field 'images' (Paste this anywhere inside STEP2 to display uploads) -->
<!-- Upload Fields: num, createdTime, tableName, fieldName, recordNum, preSaveTempId, filePath, filename, extension, thumbFilePath, isImage, hasThumbnail, urlPath, width, height, thumbUrlPath, thumbWidth, thumbHeight, info1, info2, info3, info4, info5 -->
<?php foreach ($record['images'] as $upload): ?>
<?php if ($upload['hasThumbnail']): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['thumbWidth'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['thumbHeight'] ?>" alt="" /><br/>

<?php elseif ($upload['isImage']): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['width'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['height'] ?>" alt="" /><br/>

<?php else: ?>
<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>">Download <?php echo $upload['filename'] ?></a><br/>

<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
<!-- STEP2a: /Display Uploads -->


<hr/>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php if (!$productsRecords): ?>
No records were found!<br/><br/>
<?php endif ?>
<!-- /STEP2: Display Records -->

</body>
</html>

I hope this is right as i am running out of time the client is pushing me about this now.

Hi there.

Thanks!

What you'll want to do is add in

<?php $counter = 0; ?>

right before the start of your image foreach loop. Then, right before the endforeach for the images, add in

<?php if ($counter++ == 2) {break;} ?>

You'll have something like this

<?php $counter = 0; ?>
<!-- STEP 2a: Display Uploads for field 'images' (Paste this anywhere inside STEP2 to display uploads) -->
<!-- Upload Fields: num, createdTime, tableName, fieldName, recordNum, preSaveTempId, filePath, filename, extension, thumbFilePath, isImage, hasThumbnail, urlPath, width, height, thumbUrlPath, thumbWidth, thumbHeight, info1, info2, info3, info4, info5 -->
<?php foreach ($record['images'] as $upload): ?>
<?php if ($upload['hasThumbnail']): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['thumbWidth'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['thumbHeight'] ?>" alt="" /><br/>

<?php elseif ($upload['isImage']): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['width'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['height'] ?>" alt="" /><br/>

<?php else: ?>
<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>">Download <?php echo $upload['filename'] ?></a><br/>

<?php endif ?>
<?php if ($counter++ == 2) {break;} ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
<!-- STEP2a: /Display Uploads -->

Give it a shot and let me know how you make out :).
