Hi,
This seems to work fine for now, but can anyone tell me if this approach will cause any trouble? (for example, it will slow down the loading if I have a lot of records)
I wanted to list the blog records in different ways on one page and was having problem with the search result page and category list page.
The footer and sidebar where I wanted to get all the blog records where limited by the 'where' and search result.
// load records from 'blog' perPage content section
list($blogPerPageRecords, $blogPerPageMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'blog',
'loadUploads' => true,
'allowSearch' => false,
'perPage' => '6',
));
// load records from 'blog' sidebar recommend section
list($blogRecommendRecords, $blogRecommendMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'blog',
'loadUploads' => true,
'allowSearch' => false,
'limit' => '3',
'orderBy' => 'RAND()',
));
// load records from 'blog' footer section
list($blogRecentRecords, $blogRecentMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'blog',
'loadUploads' => false,
'allowSearch' => false,
'limit' => '5',
));
Thank you,
Hiroko

Hi Hiroko
Thanks for posting.
I don't see a problem with your code. You've got three basic database calls and that should be fine.
Let me know any questions.
Thanks!
