finding last child entry in category menu with 2 levels

Hmm...

I gave that a shot but it didn't work out. Below that code I tried a simple if statement that I've used successfully before just to make sure the foreach loop was working. Then, below that, I used the standard list viewer. The latter two worked for me as expected, but I couldn't the _isLastChild working.

my sql code was:

<?php


// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/home/jocotoco/public_html/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($speciesRecords, $speciesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'species',
));

?>

The php in the order described above is below:

<h1>Species - List Page Viewer</h1>
***********************
<br />
<br />


<?php foreach ($speciesRecords as $category): ?>
<?php if ($category['_isLastChild']): ?>
last child
<?php else: ?>
NOT the last child
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach?>

<br />
<br />
*******************
<br />
<br />



<br />
<br />


<?php foreach ($speciesRecords as $category): ?>
<?php if ($category['depth'] == 0): ?>
This is 0 depth<br />

<?php else: ?>
NO <br />

<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach?>
<br />
<br />

*****************************
<br />
<br />




<br />
<br />






<?php foreach ($speciesRecords as $record): ?>

Parent Category: <?php echo $record['parentNum'] ?><br/>
<h2><?php echo $record['name'] ?></h2>
Content: <?php echo $record['content'] ?><br/>

<hr/>
<?php endforeach ?>

I tried tweaking it sundry ways, but no joy.

Oh here's the output I was getting:

p.s. I've attached a screenshot of the section I'm working with. (the "last" entries are only there because I came up with some code that would insert content based on their presence. It's kind of a hack solution, hence the question.)

Hi,

_isLastChild is a pseudo field that get's created when you use getCategories.

Try this change:

// load records
list($speciesRecords, $speciesMetaData) = getCategories(array(
'tableName' => 'species',
));

Hope this helps

Ah! I'm sure that will come in handy in the future.

Works perfectly. Thanks, Jason!
