Creating Menus
|
Can't Post
|
|
Here is the situation I want to create:
For each sections DETAIL page I want to include:
1) the content for that particular detail record
2) a submenu for that section that pulls all the records for the section.
I have been able to create the template that sort of works. Here's my issue....
If I have these require items:
list($companyRecords, $companyDetails) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'company',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'allowSearch' => '0',
));
$companyRecord = $companyRecords[0]; // get first record
The page displays as seen here:
http://www.fametrics.com/test/template2.php?About_Us-3
Where the page content displays fine, BUT the other two pages I have in that section do not show or link in the side navigation. Here's how the other two pages display:
http://www.fametrics.com/test/template2.php?About_the_Firm-1
http://www.fametrics.com/test/template2.php?contact-4
If I change the requires to:
list($companyRecords, $companyDetails) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'company',
'allowSearch' => '0',
));
$companyRecord = $companyRecords[0]; // get first record
... basically just removing the "where" statement, the side navigation WILL include all three records, and their associated page links are correct, but regardless of the link I click on the last record's content (the Contact Page) displays in the page body.
Here's the code for the navigation:
<div class="nav">
<ul>
<li>HOME</li>
<li>COMPANY</li>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($companyRecords as $companyRecord): ?>
<li> » <a href="<?php echo $companyRecord['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $companyRecord['title'] ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<li>OUR SERVICES</li>
<li>EVENTS</li>
<li>SURVEYS</li>
<li>ARTICLES</li>
<li>CONTACT</li>
</ul>
</div>
And here is the code for the content section:
<?php echo $companyRecord['title'] ?>
<?php echo $companyRecord['content'] ?><br/>
<a href="<?php echo $companyDetails['_listPage']; ?>">< Back to list page</a> -
<a href="mailto:?subject=<?php echo thisPageUrl() ?>">Email this Page</a>
The insert codes don't change either either scenario...just the requires code.
As you can see, I am just getting started on all this and links aren't coded, content is generic ,etc. Right now I'm just trying to get a handle on how everything works and works together before I jump in with both feet!
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem? Or better yet, tell me I am overlooking some code that automatically inserts a fully working dynamic menu/submenu!

Hi Cathy,
Try including 2 sets of viewer code. One to load the selected page and one to list ALL pages for the menu. Try this:
// load selected page
list($companyRecords, $companyDetails) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'company',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'allowSearch' => '0',
));
$companyRecord = $companyRecords[0]; // get first record
// load all pages for menu (put this second)
list($companyRecords, $companyDetails) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'company',
'allowSearch' => '0',
));
Give that a try and let me know if it fixes it. If it doesn't we may need to change the name of a $variable, but I think that might do the job.
Hope that helps, let me know how it goes.

Dave,
I inserted/replaced the code and now it's doing the thing where the pages are in the navigation with the correct links, but the page content never changes.
Take a look at:
http://www.fametrics.com/test/template2.php?About_Us-3
And click on some of the side links.
Thoughts? Thanks Dave!

Hi Cathy,
Ok, I think I got it. The menu code is overwriting $companyRecord. Try renaming the variable in the menu code:
<div class="nav">
<ul>
<li>HOME</li>
<li>COMPANY</li>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($companyRecords as $record): ?>
<li> » <a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['title'] ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<li>OUR SERVICES</li>
<li>EVENTS</li>
<li>SURVEYS</li>
<li>ARTICLES</li>
<li>CONTACT</li>
</ul>
</div>
Let me know if that does it.
