COMBO Page... kinda

Hi Tim,

Yes, we can easily achieve that by replacing the left list with the category list from the records and add a link parameter, i.e. ?category=1 and use the parameter value to determine which records will be displayed on the right list.

Here's an example of what I would do:

<?php
// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('W:/test/htdocs/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($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 from 'products_listing'
list($products_listingRecords, $products_listingMetaData) = getRecords(array(
  'tableName'   => 'products_listing',
  'loadUploads' => true,
  'allowSearch' => false,
));

// get the list of categories as array wherein the array key is the category value, and array value is the category label
// $productCategoriesValuesToLabels will be used for the left category list
$productCategoriesValuesToLabels = array_combine(array_pluck($products_listingRecords, 'category'), array_pluck($products_listingRecords, 'category:label'));

// $productsListsRecords will be used for the right sub-list
$productsListsRecords = array();
if (@$_REQUEST['category']){
  $productsListsRecords = array_groupBy($products_listingRecords, 'category', true);
  $productsListsRecords = @$productsRecords[$_REQUEST['category']];
}

?>

<!--left category list-->
<?php if (@$productCategoriesValuesToLabels ): ?>
  <?php foreach ($productCategoriesValuesToLabels  as $value => $label): ?>
  <a hef="?category=<?php echo htmlspecialchars($value); ?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($label); ?></a>
  <?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<!--right category list-->
<?php if (@$productsListsRecords): ?>
  <?php foreach ($productsListsRecords as $product): ?>
  <a hef="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($product['_link']); ?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($product['title']); ?></a>
  <?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>



Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Thanks Daryl - but I'm not getting anything displayed for the right sub list...

Hi Tim,

Can you please try to update the block of codes below and let me know if that fixes it? The changes are colored blue:

// $productsListsRecords will be used for the right sub-list
$productsListsRecords = array();
if (@$_REQUEST['category']){
  $productsListsRecords = array_groupBy($products_listingRecords, 'category', true);
  $productsListsRecords = @$productsListsRecords[$_REQUEST['category']];
} 

Thanks,
