 Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2003 9:27 pm Post subject: Recursive array |
 |
|
Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to render a recursive array with Smarty.
I have searched the forums for a clue and I found this thread but it did not help me enough. 
What I have is an array of this kind (This can be slightly changed if needed):
| Code: |
$tree = array(array('name' => 'Level 1',
'url' => 'level_1.php'
),
array('name' => 'Level 2',
'url' => 'level_2.php',
'sub_level' => array(array('name' => 'Level 2.1',
'url' => 'level_2_1.php'
),
array('name' => 'Level 2.2',
'url' => 'level_2_2.php',
'sub_level' => array(array('name' => 'Level 2.2.1',
'url' => 'level_2_2_1.php'
),
array('name' => 'Level 2.2.2',
'url' => 'level_2_2_2.php'
)
)
)
)
)
);
$tpl->assign('tree', $tree);
|
Sorry for the messy array but I could not make it better looking.
I would like to get something like that after processing :
| Code: |
<ul>
<li>
<a href="level_1.php">Level 1</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="level_2.php">Level 2</a>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="level_2_1.php">Level 2.1</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="level_2_2.php">Level 2.2</a>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="level_2_1_1.php">Level 2.2.1</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="level_2_1_2.php">Level 2.2.2</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
|
Does anybody has some clue on how to achieve this ?
Thanks a lot. |

@boots: he already said in his post this didn't help him enough.
@6 ANUR: the most simple way to display a structure like yours is recursively including a template:
index.tpl:
| Code: | | {include file="tree.tpl" item=$tree} |
tree.tpl:
| Code: | {if $item}
<ul>
{foreach from=$item item=sub_item}
<li>
<a href="{$sub_item.url}">{$sub_item.name}</a>
{include file="recurse/tree.tpl" item=$sub_item.sub_level}
</li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
{/if}
|
but this is slow with deep and big arrays. if you use smarty's caching features this is neglible if not: which part of Advanced: Recursion with Smarty is it you need help with? |

@Boots: Thanks but as Messju said I already checked that thread
@ Messju: Thanks for the answer, it works great.
I plan to use the caching features of Smarty and my array is quite small so it should be ok.
BTW I still have a little problem : when the level does not have a sub level then I have a notice because the array value does not exists.
I tried to change the code to this to avoid the problem but it does not work as expected ... in fact it does not work at all 
| Code: |
{if $item}
<ul>
{foreach from=$item item=sub_item}
<li>
<a href="{$sub_item.url}">{$sub_item.name}</a>
{if $sub_item.sub_level}
{include file="tree.tpl" item=$sub_item.sub_level}
{/if}
</li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
{/if}

Regarding the recursivity with Smarty in fact I did not have a clue on how to achieve this. I know how to walk an array which I know the size but not any array with any depth. Maybe you have some clue regarding this. |

hmm, the code you posted works fine here.
regardings recursive structures and smarty: smarty is not made for that natively. i don't know better ways handling them than like above or in the other thread mentionend by you. |
