 Posted: Sun Nov 11, 2007 8:17 pm Post subject: Calling 2 templates |
 |
|
Hi,
for me a difficult case:
I have - lets say- an array with 4 data elements. The first 2 items I want to parse into layout1.tpl, the last 2 items in template layout2.tpl. To recognize the point when changing the templates, I have a variable ("bereich") in my array which gives me this information. The array is sorted by this number, so there is only one time the point when I need to change the template.
Like:
| Code: | | $smarty->assign('artikel', $array); |
| Code: |
{section name="x" loop=$artikel}
{if $artikel[x].bereich == 1}
{include file="layout1.tpl"}
{elseif $artikel[x].bereich == 2}
{include file="layout2.tpl"}
{/if}
{/section}
|
The problem is, that I get all 4 elements parsed in the first template.
Any ideas how I could solve this problem?
Thanks for every good idea!![/code] |

| The template looks okay for me, Have you checked the content of $array? |

Try changing
| Code: | | {if $artikel[x].bereich == 1} |
to
| Code: | | {if $artikel[x].bereich === 1} |
or if the value is a string
| Code: | | {if $artikel[x].bereich === '1'} |
At the moment, it is probably just doing a true comparison, and a string of 2 can also be matched as true. |

Hi,
the array is ok, as every data is well displayed with the one template.
I tried out the ===1 and ===2 but then I don't get output at all!
I could seperate my array into 2 if needed. But How I can use my templates in that case?
Infact I don't want to create a copy of layout1 and layout2.tpl for this special case... |

| Try printing {$artikel[x].bereich} in the loop, it may not be what you expect. |

A better idea is to split the array into two, perhaps using a custom plugin or maybe better, have your calling script send two arrays since it is already doing the work of sorting and providing the somewhat superfluous switch field on every record.
Another idea is to use {foreach} rather than {section}. That's just a general thing I suggest unless {section} is the only possibility (which is extremely rare). |

That's not the problem, it is the figure I want. |

As it happen meanwhile that I have to extend the "bereich" area for different templates I created the following solution:
Inside a foreach I've put a switch where I check for every case.
Inside the case
| Code: |
case 1:
$standard[] = $artikel[$key];
$smarty->assign('artikel1', $standard);
$smarty->assign( '___content1', $smarty->fetch( '4.tpl' ) );
break;
|
I create a new array - just with the found data - and use fetch to put the output into a new variable.
Then on a new template file I call
to output the results.
Until jet, it wokrs fine for me.
I don't know if that is the best way doing so, but as far as I can see it works. Live could be easier if I would not have such a complex array structure. But if it would be easy it would be boring, or  |
