 Posted: Mon Aug 25, 2003 12:35 am Post subject: I get checkbox array and want to put it in 3 colums |
 |
|
I know how to display checkboxes from an array, but how can I format the output so that the checkboxes are in nice 3 or 4 columns, depending on how many checkboxes I get from the database.
thanks

Hi Paul.
The following may not work exactly as I didn't bother to test it :), but it should give you an idea of how to approach this. I suspect that there are many ways to tackle this and I offer this only as an example.
One column is simple (using a table for simplicity):
| Code: | <table><tr>
<td>
{foreach from=$list item=rec}
{$rec.title}<br/>
{/foreach}
</td>
</tr></table> |
Now lets say you want to limit columns to 15 rows. Before you pass the data to your template, you can partition it in an array of cols:
[php:1:11b5cd28ea]$maxrows = 15;
$ii = ceil(count($list)/$maxrows);
for ($i=0; $ii; $i++;) {
$cols[$i] = array_slice($list, $i*$maxrows, $maxrows);
}
$smarty->assign('col_list', $cols);[/php:1:11b5cd28ea]
You should now have an array made up of several sub-arrays, each made up of $maxrows elements. You now use two loops (nested) in your template, one for the columns, one for the rows:
| Code: | <table><tr>
{foreach from=col_list item=list}
<td>
{foreach from=$list item=rec}
{$rec.title}<br/>
{/foreach}
</td>
{/foreach}
</tr></table> |

I got a smarty-only code for that, it's just good for 3 columns or few more. Not really clean, maybe : consider it as a hack.
| Code: | {* variable $schema is a simple array *}
<table><tr><td valign="top">
{counter start=0 print=false assign=c}
{section name=x loop=$schema}
{counter}{$schema[x]}<br/>
{if $smarty.section.x.index eq floor($smarty.section.x.total / 3)
or $smarty.section.x.index eq floor(2 * $smarty.section.x.total / 3)}
</td><td valign="top">
{/if}
{/section}
</td></tr></table>

Hey guys..both of the code samples are good, but not what I was looking for.
I am looking for a checkbox implementation...not slicing arrays. Yes I know - you'd think that once I know how to slice an array, I can put different parts in different columns...but then if I want to have a few preselected..then......we run into other questions and problems...
I am looking for a checkbox way of doing it...not an array that is split.
Show me an example of a checkbox column interpretation of your code.
I have two arrays...one with values and one for output. I need to use them to create 4 colums of checkboxes.
thanks

|
|
its a sample of what I have now..its working...it splits the array into $maxrows.
| Code: | $maxrows = 4;
$ceil = ceil(count($certificationNames)/$maxrows);
for ($i=0; $i < $ceil; $i++) {
$certNames[$i] = array_slice($certificationNames, $i*$maxrows, $maxrows);
$certIds[$i] = array_slice($certificationIds, $i*$maxrows, $maxrows);
}
$smarty->assign('col_list', $certNames);
$smarty->assign('certIds',$certIds);
$smarty->assign('certNames',$certNames); |
Template code here:
| Code: | <table cellpadding=3 cellspacing=2 class=smtextBig><tr>
{section name=newId loop=$certIds}
<td>
{html_checkboxes values=$certIds[newId] output=$certNames[newId] separator="<br />"}
</td>
{/section}
</tr>
</table> |
Thats it...it works beautifully. I LOVE IT! |
