Nested loops

Thursday 23 January 2003 5:05:58 am

I tried to use nested loops, but i found the loops worked but the values were not being returned correctly, so gave up till full version comes out... It may be a bug..

I am having a problem with this too and I have read through the replies but still cannot seem to get this to work. One thing I did NOT see is LET statements that FETCH the content based on the NODE_ID of the primary section. Take:

{let folder_list=fetch(content,list,hash(parent_node_id,240,sort_by,array(array(priority))))}
{section name=Folder loop=$folder_list}
{let subfolder_list=fetch(content,list,hash(parent_node_id,$Folder:item.node_id,sort_by,array(array(priority))))}
<a href={concat("content/view/full/",$Folder:item.node_id,"/"|ezurl}>{$Folder:item.name}</a>
<ul>
{section name=SubFolder loop=$subfolder_list}
<li><a href=#>{$Folder:$SubFolder:item.name}</a></li>
{/section}
</ul>
{/section}

Even when I hardcode a value for the 2nd fetch's "parent_node_id", I get nothing and there are 5 folders in there. If I take the 2nd SECTION (including LET) and put it outside the loop, hardcode the node_id, and remove the "$Folder:" prefix from the line, THEN I get some results. Am I doing something wrong with my LET statements or something?

Yeah !!! working.

But if I want to listing only "subfolder" under "folder", not all item
or listing all article with out folder.
