Hi there,

I have elements retrieved from a database like this:

Short Name 1,Name 1, Link 1, Short Name 2,Name 2, Link 2, Short Name 3,Name 3, Link 3

And that should be split up into something like

<a href="Link1" title="Name 1">Short Name 1</a>
<a href="Link2" title="Name 2">Short Name 2</a>
....

I can do this in the PHP part of the file, but I would prefer - I think this would be more "correct" - in the Template file.

But with a foreach(...), I only know of using this for a 2-dim array, not 3 as in my case.

Can anyone give me a hint how this would work?

Thanks a lot!

A 2-dimensional associative array suffices:
Code:
array(
  array(
    'name'  => '...',
    'short' => '...',
    'link'  => '...'),
  array(
    'name'  => '...',
    'short' => '...',
    'link'  => '...'),
  array(
    'name'  => '...',
    'short' => '...',
    'link'  => '...')
);

Code:
{foreach from=$myArray item=foo}
  <a href="{$foo.link}" title="{$foo.name}">{$foo.short}</a>
{/foreach}

Thanks a lot.

Just for completion, here is how it worked for me:

Code:
{foreach from=$top_links key=k item=foo}
  <li style="width: {$top_links_width}%"><a class="linksWhite" href="{$foo.url}" target="_blank" title="{$foo.name}">{$foo.short}</a></li>
{/foreach}
