 |
|
I have been following the link below (Loop in Loop) and I keep coming back to where I was before. I will try to be somewhat explicit in my code:
Here is my Current Output:
Federal Links
Local Links
Here is the output I DESIRE
Federal Links
Local Links
Links.html
| Code: |
// Get Public Links Categories
$pubCatSQL = "SELECT * FROM LinksCat ORDER BY Name";
$pubCatResult = mysql_query($pubCatSQL,$conn) or die('Error In Query: Category');
$rsPubCat = array(); // Set Result Set Variable
$i = 0; // Initialize Array Index
while ($pubRowCat = mysql_fetch_array($pubCatResult)) {
$tmpPubCat = array (
'id' => $pubRowCat['id'],
'Name' => $pubRowCat['Name']
);
// Get the Link(s) under this Category
// $pubSQL = "SELECT * FROM Links WHERE CatID = $tmpPubCat[id] ORDER BY Title";
$pubSQL = "SELECT * FROM Links WHERE CatID = $pubRowCat[id] ORDER BY Title";
$pubResult = mysql_query($pubSQL,$conn) or die('Error In Query: Links');
$rsPub = array();
$li = 0;
while ($pubRow = mysql_fetch_array($pubResult)) {
$tmpPub = array (
'id' => $pubRow['id'],
'Title' => $pubRow['Title'],
'URL' => $pubRow['URL']
);
$rsSetPub[$li++] = $tmpPub;
}
$rsSetPubCat[$i++] = $tmpPubCat;
}
...
// Assign/Pass The Public Category Results To the Template
$smarty->assign_by_ref('rowPubCat', $rsSetPubCat);
// Assign/Pass The Public Links Results To the Template
$smarty->assign_by_ref('rowPublic', $rsSetPub);
|
Here is my Smarty Template Code:
| Code: |
{section name=PubCat loop=$rowPubCat}
<p class="orangeHeader">{$rowPubCat[PubCat].Name}</p>
{section name=PubLink loop=$rowPublic}
<li><a href="{$rowPublic[PubLink].URL}" class="textlink">{$rowPublic[PubLink].Title}</a></li>
{/section}
{/section}
|
I assume my problem is in the | Code: | | {section name=PubLink loop=$rowPublic} |
Part of my template. I cannot get this to work at all.
Any suggestions would be great  |

Actually, it looks like your inner PHP loop is overwriting the results of the category contents.
I haven't tested, but you should be okay if you use something along the lines of:
$rsSetPub[$i][$li++] = $tmpPub;
and in your template:
{$rowPublic[PubCat][PubLink].URL}
A few comments:
Get your db to join the data. It is faster and leads to better program design. It also means you don't need an inner-loop 
Something like:
$pubCatSQL = "SELECT LinksCat.*, Link.* FROM LinksCat, Links WHERE Links.CatID = LinksCat.ID"
Try to condense your data structure. There is probably no need for separate arrays for categories and links. Either make them both children of a single array or make the links children of each category.
Hope that helps!

Hi, I will try your suggestion for both your comments.
I did have this query already, I agree with you for defining my data structure within the DB Server itself. (ie. having 1 array)
I would normally have run it like this
| Code: |
$publicSQL = "SELECT *, LinksCat.Name, LinksCat.ID
FROM Links
INNER JOIN LinksCat
ON Links.CatID = LinksCat.id
WHERE LinksCat.Members = '0'
ORDER BY LinksCat.Name";
|
Thanks for the reply, I'll try both out. |
