Hi Maurice,

The most straight forward way to do this would be to use getRecords to select from these different sections and then output the images from whichever records you want.

Hope this helps.

Hi Maurice,

Does this do what you want?

<?php

// load records

list($fooRecords,) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'foo',
));
list($barRecords,) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'bar',
));
list($baazRecords,) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'baaz',
));

?>

<h1>Section: Foo</h1>
<?php foreach($fooRecords as $record): ?>
<h2>Record: <?php echo $record['num'] ?></h2>
<?php foreach($record['upload'] as $upload): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['width'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['height'] ?>" alt="" /><br/>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

<h1>Section: Bar</h1>
<?php foreach($barRecords as $record): ?>
<h2>Record: <?php echo $record['num'] ?></h2>
<?php foreach($record['upload'] as $upload): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['width'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['height'] ?>" alt="" /><br/>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

<h1>Section: Baaz</h1>
<?php foreach($baazRecords as $record): ?>
<h2>Record: <?php echo $record['num'] ?></h2>
<?php foreach($record['upload'] as $upload): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['width'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['height'] ?>" alt="" /><br/>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
All the best,
Chris

Hi,

For example, if we wanted to use a section called news and a section called articles, it would work like this:

I'm assuming that the name of the image field in both sections is called images:



<?php
list($newsRecords,$newsMetaData)=getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'news',
'allowSearch' => false,
));

list($articleRecords,$articleMetaData)=getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'articles',
'allowSearch' => false,
));

$imageRecords = array_merge(array_pluck($newsRecords,'images'),array_pluck($articleRecords,'images'));
$imagesRecords=array_filter($imageRecords);
?>

<?php foreach($imageRecords as $imageRecord):?>
<?php foreach($imageRecord as $image):?>
**OUTPUT IMAGE HERE**
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endforeach ?>


Hope this helps
