Hi

I am trying to import a load of data into CMSB

However, its split in to 3 tables

1. hotel Information
2. Hotel Facilities
3. Hotel Image source links

I know how to call data in to my template from 3 different tables but not how to call everything with a certain ID

In the detailed listing of the hotel info I want to pull in all images related to this hotel. The image Database fields are

image_id
title
url
hotel_id
service_id

I wish to call everything from the Image table with the same "hotel_id" so from the template I am calling the table called Images and everything with the hotel_id and then displaying the image url's in one list in the template.

hope this makes sense?

thanks

Hi,

So if I understand correctly, on your page you have a hotel record which has a hotel id. You then want to get all of the records from the hotel image source links section that has the same hotel_id as your current record. Is that right?

If so, here is an example of how you can do that. Here I've assumed that you have a variable called $hotel which is your current hotel record and I've had to guess at the exact name of your section.

EXAMPLE:

list($hotelImageRecords, $hotelImageMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'hotel_image_source_links',
'allowSearch' => false,
'where' => "hotel_id = '".mysql_escape($hotel['hotel_id'])."'",
));

Hope this helps

I have myself in a slight muddle


<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
<?php


// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cms/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/home/newsdesk/public_html/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($lateroom_imagesRecords, $lateroom_imagesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'lateroom_images',
'where' => false,
'where' => "hotel_id = '".mysql_escape($url['199269'])."'",
));
$lateroom_imagesRecord = @$lateroom_imagesRecords[0]; // get first record


// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$lateroom_imagesRecord) { dieWith404("Record not found!"); }

?>

</style>
</head>
<body>

<?php echo $lateroom_imagesRecord['url'] ?>

</body>
</html>

Here are the fields in the db

image_id (unique id of image)
title (hotel name)
url (url to hotel image)
hotel_id (the hotels id)


Imagine the hotel i need is ID number 999, I am trying to call all the image url's with the same "hotel_id" of 999 and then display them in a list.

Where am i going wrong?

Hi loccom,

I think what you want to do is this:

// get all the images where the hotel_id is '999'
list($lateroom_imagesRecords, $lateroom_imagesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'lateroom_images',
'where' => "hotel_id = '999'",
));

// get the first record
$lateroom_imagesRecord = @$lateroom_imagesRecords[0];

If the hotel_id is being passed in the URL and is the last number in the url, you could use:

// get all the images where the hotel_id is that found in the url
$where = "hotel_id = '".getLastNumberInUrl()."'";
list($lateroom_imagesRecords, $lateroom_imagesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'lateroom_images',
'where' => $where,
));

Let me know if that helps,

Tom

Hi loccom,

It's only showing one result because of the line:
$lateroom_imagesRecord = @$lateroom_imagesRecords[0];
If you want to show all the images, remove that line and then add the following in place of "<?php echo $lateroom_imagesRecord['url'] ?>":
<?php
if ( @$lateroom_imagesRecords ) {
foreach ($lateroom_imagesRecords as $record ) {
echo $record['url']."<br>";
}
}
?>

This loops over all the returned records and outputs each url (each on on a new line).

Hope this helps,

Tom
