Hi there,
I have a list of destinations which show up in my list viewers like this:
Which outputs text like:
Destinations: Australia, Tahiti, New Zealand
How would I go about dropping in a link on each destination seeing as this is being stored in the table like this:
" 1 11 10 "
Many thanks
Jan

Hi,
So you would like to display "Australia", "Tahiti", and "New Zealand" as links? What page would you want it to link to?
We can do this, but it would require some extra coding. If you could attach the file that you're working with, along with the page you would like the link to go to, I can take a look at it for you.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Just before where you print out your destinations, put this code:
Then, print out your destinations with this code:
Give this a try and let me know if you run into any issues.
Thanks.

<?php
$values = getListValues('yachts','destinations',$record['destinations']);
$labels = getListLabels('yachts','destinations',$record['destinations']);
$valuesToLabels = array_combine($values, $labels);
?>Then, print out your destinations with this code:
<?php foreach ($valuesToLabels as $value => $label): ?>
<a href="destination.php/<?php echo $label."-".$value ?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($label); ?></a>,
<?php endforeach ?><br/>Give this a try and let me know if you run into any issues.

Re: [Jason] Tricky Formating
Hi Jason, that worked great.
One last question, How do I go about removing the comma from the last item?
e.g. currently displays as:
Destinations: Australia, Tahiti,
would like to show it as:
Destinations: Australia, Tahiti

Hi,
You can try replacing where you are displaying your destinations with this:
Give that a try and let me know if that works for you.
