 Posted: Thu May 15, 2003 8:50 pm Post subject: custom iteration block/function |
 |
|
Hi. I'm a smarty noob, so I apologize if this is a really basic question.
I need to iterate through an array of objects and display certain properties (retrieved through accessor methods) on each iteration.
The non-smarty version might look something like this:
| Code: | <?php
$articles = array(new Article(), new Article(), new Article());
foreach ($articles as $article)
{
?>
<!-- article -->
<a href="article.php?id=<?php echo $article->getId(); ?>">
<?php echo $article->getHeadline(); ?>
</a>
<?php echo $article->getDate(); ?><br>
<!-- article -->
<?php
}
?> |
What is the best way to accomplish this type of thing using smarty? Thanks!

I don't think you need a custom iterator for this particular problem.
Smarty's foreach syntax (to iterate the articles) along with its support for "assigned objects" are just the trick for you. Take a look at the manual under Advanced Topics. |

Thanks for the reply. You're right, it's a simple case of RTFM. 
On a related note, is it possible to create a custom iteration function/block? For example, let's say I wanted to simply change the interface of foreach, but still do the same thing:
| Code: |
{iterate name="$names" id="name"}
Name: {$name}
{/iterate}
