i've been playing with XOOPS code steady for a week now (had looked at it in the past, never enough to begin to grasp it)
i'm developing a xoops-based module for my employer, and i wanted to template-ize all html within the module
i started looking at the module templates yesterday to figure out how they work, looked in XOOPS documentation, and today after creating a few simple templates, and then a few hours of struggling, i was able to create a fairly complex (imho) smarty template, whee
lol, and yes, simple things do amuse me
here's the template, specific to my module:
le="color: #000000"><?php <{ section name=j loop=$multiple_array }> <table align='center' cellpadding='2'> <tr> <td> <table align='center' width='100%' border='1' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='2'> <{ if $multiple_array[j].lang_b_unit != 'both' }> <tr> <td width='100%' align='center' colspan='6'><b><{$multiple_array[j].lang_mbiz_unit}></b></td> </tr> <{ /if }> <tr> <td align='center'><b><{ $multiple_array[j].lang_date }></b></td> <td align='center'><nobr><b><{ $multiple_array[j].lang_adoption_notice }></b></nobr></td> <td align='center'><nobr><b><{ $multiple_array[j].lang_style }></b></nobr></td> <td width='100%' align='center' colspan='2'><nobr><b><{ $multiple_array[j].lang_changes }></b></nobr></td> </tr> <{ section name=i loop=$multiple_array[j].lang_while_val }> <tr> <td align='center'><{ $multiple_array[j].lang_while_val[i].signin_date }></td> <td align='center'><nobr><b><a href='index.php?op=Detailed&anumber=<{ $multiple_array[j].lang_while_val[i].adoption_notice }>'><{ $multiple_array[j].lang_while_val[i].adoption_notice }></a></b></nobr></td> <td align='center'> <{ $multiple_array[j].lang_while_val[i].styles }> </td> <td align='center' colspan='2'><nobr><{ $multiple_array[j].lang_while_val[i].changes }></nobr></td> </tr> <{ /section }> <tr><td <{$multiple_array[j].lang_colspan}> align='left'> <{ if $multiple_array[j].lang_worklogrows > 10 }> <table width='100%'><tr> <td <{$multiple_array[j].lang_colspan}> align='left'><a href='index.php?op=View_Only&b_unit=csw&start=$finish'><b><{$multiple_array[j].lang_viewnext}></b></a></td></tr></table> </td><td <{$multiple_array[j].lang_colspan}> align='right'> <{ /if }> <table width='100%'><tr> <td <{$multiple_array[j].lang_colspan}> align='right'><a href='index.php?op=Submit_Form'><b><{$multiple_array[j].lang_addnew_an}></b></a></td></tr></table> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <br> <{/section}>
$multiple_array is a sizeable array that is dynamically expansive, and smarty works great with it
example of how i populate $multiple_array:
le="color: #000000"><?php $workingarray = array('lang_worklogrows'=>$worklogrows, 'lang_b_unit'=>$b_unit, 'lang_mbiz_unit'=>$mbiz_unit, 'lang_while_val'=>$whilearray, 'lang_colspan'=>$colspan, 'lang_arraycount'=>$arraycount, 'lang_date'=>'Date', 'lang_adoption_notice'=>'Adoption Notice #', 'lang_style'=>'Style', 'lang_changes'=>'Changes', 'lang_viewnext'=>'View Next 10 Results', 'lang_addnew_an'=>'Add New Adoption', 'lang_style'=>'Style'); $xoopsTpl->append('multiple_array',$workingarray);
this is what the array looks like when it's filled (it's been populated twice):
le="color: #000000"><?php Array (2) 0 => Array (12) lang_worklogrows => 3 lang_b_unit => csw lang_mbiz_unit => Casualwear lang_while_val => Array (3) 0 => Array (4) signin_date => 4/30/04 adoption_notice => 04-P638 styles => P160<br>P161 changes => New Style 1 => Array (4) signin_date => 4/30/04 adoption_notice => 04-P639 styles => P161<br>T238 changes => Color Add - pre-load 2 => Array (4) signin_date => 3/09/04 adoption_notice => 04-839 styles => Multi changes => Pricing lang_colspan => colspan='6' lang_arraycount => 3 lang_date => Date lang_adoption_notice => Adoption Notice # lang_style => Style lang_changes => Changes lang_viewnext => View Next 10 Results lang_addnew_an => Add New Adoption 1 => Array (12) lang_worklogrows => 0 lang_b_unit => prt lang_mbiz_unit => Printables lang_while_val => empty lang_colspan => colspan='6' lang_arraycount => 0 lang_date => Date lang_adoption_notice => Adoption Notice # lang_style => Style lang_changes => Changes lang_viewnext => View Next 10 Results lang_addnew_an => Add New Adoption
oh, and i forgot to mention, i'm fairly novice with arrays as well, thus my giddiness when i finally made it work...!
okay, i'm done patting myself on the back
if you see a better way to setup the template, please let me know, as i said, i'm new to this so i probably made a redundant error
