Smarty

[1linedesign]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to do something which i think should be simple here but for some reason i am unable to get my head around it - i have even tried using {section} which looked to be the solution but also failed on what i need it to do.

I reverted my code back to the following:

{* $Id: product_files.tpl 7419 2009-05-05 11:40:34Z lexa $ *}

{foreach from=$files item="file" name="file_loop"}
{if $smarty.foreach.file_loop.total > 1}
<p>To preview tracks from this album please use the "preview" links below.</p>
{else}
<a href="{$index_script}?dispatch=orders.get_file&amp;file_id={$file.file_id}&amp;preview=Y" onclick="playTrack('{$index_script}?dispatch=orders.get_file&file_id={$file.file_id}&preview=Y'); return false;">preview</a>
{/if}
{/foreach}


which prints out the preview link as it should as for pages that only have one results and with the above code with someting more it does print out the message to preview track..... but it loops this message for each one it found in the foreach - i am trying to do the following:

if more than 1 result is found in the foreach show the message "To preview tracks from this album please use the "preview" links below" else if it is just one results so the "preview" link.

any ideas on this on how i can limit it to show only once if only 1 result is found and display the preview link and if more than one show that message without it showing the message for each result found?

Thanks,
James

The thing is rows will be found

i would to do something like

foreach

if more than more record is found

show single message

if 1 result is found

return the result




i just tried the method you suggested but i got the following:



To preview tracks from this album please use the "preview" links below.

To preview tracks from this album please use the "preview" links below.

To preview tracks from this album please use the "preview" links below.


because it noticed there was 3 results in foreach and showed the message which is correct but if it is more than 1 i just need it to show the message once


now it shows nothing if just 1 result is found when i need it to show the preview link


revised code is as follows:



{foreach from=$files item="file" name="file_loop"}
{if $smarty.foreach.file_loop.total > 1}
<p>To preview tracks from this album please use the "preview" links below.</p>
{/if}
{foreachelse}
<a href="{$index_script}?dispatch=orders.get_file&amp;file_id={$file.file_id}&amp;preview=Y" onclick="playTrack('{$index_script}?dispatch=orders.get_file&file_id={$file.file_id}&preview=Y'); return false;">preview</a>
{/foreach}


sorry to be a pain!

Thanks again,
James

Maybe I don't understand what you are saying, but the only purpose of a loop is to repeat something, otherwise there's no need to have it there.

Try:

Thanks, that seemed to work a treat however this was only a temp solution as i could njot work out how to drag in the main product_id > its related block products ID file to provide the file preview id on the main product page for its related product - it seems to pull in the price, product title and link to its product page ok but grabbing the file id for the related product seemed to be a problem.

if you think you could help with this, i think it would only be a quick solution to do and willing to pay for it - give me an email jamesmurphy[@]1linedesign.com as ideally i need this this done to complete this project and get rid of it!

Thanks again for you help
James
