I have a site that shows brochures for the brands listing page:

http://axislighting.com/CMS/brandsList_brochure.php

I want to add some more brands and only want them visible on this page. (I use the brandsList listings on other pages as well.)

I added a section editor to the brands admin with a checkbox that says show only on brochure page.
I have a value called 'brochure'. I want that this brand should only show on the brochure page when checkbox is checked.

What would be the code that would show this brand only if the checkbox in the admin is checked?

Hi dccreatives,

If I understood your question correctly...

I assume that the brochures field is a check box. If so, could it be something like this that checks each record to only show those with the check box checked:
<?php foreach ($brandsRecords as $record ): ?>
<?php if( $record['brochure'] == 1):?>
Your listing code...
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

There are lots of recipes in how to use if statements in my CMSB Cookbook thecmsbcookbook.com

Best,

Brochures is not a checkbox, it is a textfield. The checkbox is if it should be displayed on the brochures page or not.

OK. I have the page http://www.axislighting.com/CMS/brandsList-downloads.php

ON this page the top 7 listings, I do not want to show on this page, but I need them on other pages.

I created a checkbox that's field is 'show_only_on_brochure_page'. When this is checked, I do not want them to show on this page. I am attaching the html code. Can you tell me where to put the if then statement, so it should not show if this field is checked?

Thanks for all your help.

It normally would go just inside your foreach loop

I tried that, but it did not work. I got an error 500.

Hi,

You could filter them out directly in your getRecords call:

EXAMPLE

list($brandsRecords, $brandsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'brands',
'perPage' => '20',
'where' => "show_only_on_brochure_page != '1'"
));

Hope this helps
