Print a table

Monday 11 August 2003 8:07:01 am

Hi,

I'm trying to print a nicely formatted table. I've made a Content class named Match and it contains the attributes date, team1 and team2.

My templatecode looks as follows :

{let children=fetch('content',list,hash(parent_node_id,$node.node_id))}
<table border='1'>
<tr>
<td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.date}</td>
<td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.team1}</td>
<td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.team2}</td>
</tr>
</table>
{/let}

My solution prints out several tables for every one instance of the class instead of having one table carrying all instances.

This might be a simple matter but I can't get this right.

Sample code would be very appreciated :)

You want to print a different table for every Match-object I guess.

I think this code might work:

{let match_list=fetch(content,list,hash(parent_node_id,$node.node_id,class_filter_type,include,class_filter_array,array(-->match_class_id<--)))}
{section name=match loop=$match_list}
{node_view_gui view=tableview content_node=$match:item}
{/section}
{/let}

Create a tableview_match.tpl:

{default content_version=$node.contentobject_version_object}

<table border='1'>
<tr>
<td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.date}</td>
<td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.team1}</td>
<td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.team2}</td>
</tr>
</table>

{/default}

Do not forget to edit your override.ini(.append) file by entering something like this:

[tableview_match]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=node/view/tableview_match.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=-->match_class_id<--

edit the -->match_class_id<-- with the id number of the match class.

Are you replying to my code or Alex's one?

Hrrrrm, did you make sure to clear the cache after testing both methods? Also, are there any other loops or fetch around the code you posted that we don't know about?

Oops, I thought you wanted to print every instance in a different table.
To accomplish ONE big table with all the instances in it, you should loop only the <tr> ... </tr> part. I put some remarks {* .. *} what every part is doing.

{* Start Code *}

{* start 1 table :) *}
<table border='1'>
{* put all match instance in array match_list *}
{let match_list=fetch(content,list,hash(parent_node_id,$node.node_id,class_filter_type,include,class_filter_array,array(-->match_class_id<--)))}
{* loop over every element in the list *}
{section name=match loop=$match_list}
{* code that should be looped*}
<tr>
<td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$match:item.contentobject_version_object.data_map.date}</td>
<td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$match:item.contentobject_version_object.data_map.team1}</td>
<td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$match:item.contentobject_version_object.data_map.team2}</td>
</tr>
{* end code that should be looped*}
{/section}
{* close let *}
{/let}
{* close table *}
</table>

{* End Code *}

Good luck
