Hi,

I have a section on a page and I want it to not show if there is no records in the winesRecords table (I mean the all shabang: the h2, open ul and the close ul):

<h2>Les nouveaux arrivages</h2>
<ul class="narrivage">
<?php foreach ($winesRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if ($record['nouveaux_arrivages'] == 1): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['page_title'] ?></a></li>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

</ul>

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

To have all the content, including the h2, open ul and the close ul, not appear if there is no records, wrap the code in an IF statement.

The content will only display if there is a record in the winesRecords table

<?php if($winesRecords) : ?>

<h2>Les nouveaux arrivages</h2>
<ul class="narrivage">
<?php foreach ($winesRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if ($record['nouveaux_arrivages'] == 1): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['page_title'] ?></a></li>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

</ul>

<?php endif; ?>

Give that a try.

Doesn't work :(

Should I change something at the top?

list($winesRecords, $winesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'wines',
'limit' => '5',
));

My bad, let me reformulate.

There are records in the winetable, but I only show the ones that has a value "1" in the for the column "nouveaux arrivages".

If there are no wines with the value "1" in the "nouveaux arrivages" column I'd like to not show the section.

Let me know if it's clearer.

Thanks.

Your approach is fine and the page should work as intended. What is it that's not working?

Here is my code:
<?php
require_once "/home/jeftay6/vin.com/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($home_pageRecords, $home_pageMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'home_page',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$home_pageRecord = @$home_pageRecords[0];

list($winesRecords, $winesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'wines',
'limit' => '5',
));

list($featured_articlesRecords, $featured_articlesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'featured_articles',
'limit' => '5',
));

list($about_usRecords, $about_usMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'about_us',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$about_usRecord = @$about_usRecords[0];

list($listes_de_produitsRecords, $listes_de_produitsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'listes_de_produits',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$listes_de_produitsRecord = @$listes_de_produitsRecords[0];


$page = 'home';
?>

Re: [gcod] Not Show section when there is no records

I think I know how to solve your problem. You need to do two things. in the list function at the top of your page, add the following:
list($winesRecords, $winesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'wines',
'limit' => '5',
'where' => 'nouveaux_arrivages=1',
));

And then in the html area, you should remove this completely:
<?php if ($record['nouveaux_arrivages'] == 1): ?>
