Hi

I am using a multi-selection list box to display a list of product sizes

<?php echo join(', ', getListLabels('doors', 'sizes', $doorsRecord['sizes'])); ?>

They currently display on the viewer as - item1, item 2, item 3 etc - all on one line.

I would like to display them 1 per line instead.

Is there an easy way to achieve this?

Also whilst I have been writing this it appears to have got more complicated.[/#000000]

The site I am working on displays doors that are available in a selection of different sizes and a selection of different prices[/#000000]

I want to get it so that the client can input each and it displays on the site. Foir example, one door might be avaialble in sizes 12"x78"x35mm, 15"x78"x35mm, 18"x78"x35mm, 21"x78"x35mm with a price of 120 each whist anothe door might be available the same sizes but different prices for each.[/#000000]

It would then need to display something like this:[/#000000]

[font "Arial"]78x24"x35mm £75 To order.

[font "Arial"]78x27"x35mm £75 To order.

[font "Arial"]78x30"x35mm £80To order.

[font "Arial"]80x32"x35mm £75 To order.

[font "Arial"]78x33"x35mm £75 To order.

[font "Arial"]2040x726x40mm £80 To order.

[font "Arial"]2040x826x40mm £80 To order.

Any advice would be much appreciated - assuming any of what I hae said makes sense.[/#000000]

Hi,

You can easily get each label on a separate line by replacing the comma with a break like this:

<?php echo join('<br/>', getListLabels('doors', 'sizes', $doorsRecord['sizes'])); ?>

As for the second part of your question, where is the pricing information for each size stored? Let me know and we'll see what we can do.

Hope this helps.

Thanks jason, that's great.

The pricing information isn't stored anywhere yet - I haven't got that far.

I'll try and explain what I'm tring to do. I have a Section Editor created for Traditional oak doors which are available in a number of sizes and prices. I want the client to be able to add a door style and at the same time select the relevant sizes and then select or enter the price which goes with each specfic size.

I will also have similar section editors for different types of doors - mahogany, teak etc etc all with the same type of info.

I will also need to be able to perform a function accross all these editors that will allow a customer to search by size - so they select a size (say 78x24"x35mm) and it will then display a page that shows all of the doors of that size from accross the range of oak, mahogany, teak etc.[/#000000]

Hope that makes sense and thanks for your help.[/#000000]

Hi Paul,

I think I see what you're saying. Once you have a field for price, I can help you get that value into your string.

Another tip would be to use only 1 section editor for doors. You could store all doors in there and then have a drop down where you can specify if a particular door is oak, mahogany, teak, etc. This would simply searching as you would only have to search one section instead of several.

Hope this helps.
