echoing menu name

Hello all,

Long time learner, first time poster.

Basically, I was wondering if there was any way to echo the section name field on a webpage. That is, echo the "section name" field as it appears on the "general" tab in the section editor.

Hope that made sense!

Hi,

Currently, the section label isn't a variable that can be accessed in code. If you can give an example of what you're trying to accomplish, we may be able to suggest a different solution.

Thanks

Hi Jason,

I would also like to know how this can be done!!!!
I'm using popups that display video using a script in a field for each record (field name of all records is "code_di_video"), but now I merged all the records and have the problem to display them.
See a merged version of the idea here: http://www.vigilantekorsou.com/columns_of_videos_of_multiple_tables.php
If you click on the play buttons it will not work, because I'm using the following link as example:

<a href="video_pop_up_template-<?php echo $recordMerge['sectionName'] ?>.php?<?php echo $recordMerge['_filename'] ?>-<?php echo $recordMerge['num'] ?>">link</a>

Here is a working version, but here I'm using 1 record only: http://www.vigilantekorsou.com/videocolumns.php
Here the play buttons go to: http://www.vigilantekorsou.com/video_pop_up_template-video.php
Throughout the site I named the popups in the following way: video_pop_up_template-"sectionName".php and works fine when not merged.

Here is a another version, but is displaying all the videos merged again: http://www.vigilantekorsou.com/columns_of_videos_of_multiple_tables2.php
I created a http://www.vigilantekorsou.com/video_pop_up_template-general.php page to try to display the videos I want, but I want to know how to create maybe a searchresult idea...??? And then maybe I can get the video to work as a result...!!!

Please need some help with this!

Regards,

Tim

Hi Tim,

Could you please attach columns_of_videos_of_multiple_tables.php to this thread so that I can see the actual code you're using?

thanks,

Hi Tim,

One option would be to not use array_merge, and instead loop through each record set one at a time. This way you could create a sectionName field manually as you go.

For example:

foreach ($polisialRecords as $record) {
$record['sectionName'] = 'polisial';
@$TimMerge[] = $record;
}


Hope this helps get you started.

Jason,

This is for each record, but can the videos of all the sections I want to merge get their own link.
I don't get it!!!

Jason,

I created an extra field for all the records, but need to hide them...
I posted something for this here: http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/forum.cgi?post=89240

But still I would like to know how we can do this for use in the future, because this is certainly not the last time I'll be using CMSB.
So if we can solve both would be great!!!!

Regards,

Tim
