So, I have my website, SeenStream.com.

Right now, if you type in a zipcode, it populates records into list.php.

In each record in CmsBuilder, I have a checkbox that specifies if that record is a participating bar or not. And if it is, it displays that record at the top of the list, and makes it link to its detail page.

example detail.php?Speakeasy-Ultra-Lounge-3

my question... how do i make it so I can have like 3 different detail pages? so some records link to detail-1.php some link to detail-2.php and some link to detail-3.php

thanks!

Hi shawnpatoka,

If I'm understanding you correctly, instead of using: <a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>">Link Text </a>
in your links, you can use:
<a href="http://www.your_domain.com/your_detail_page.php?num=<?php echo $record['num'] ?>">Link Text </a>

Depending on your requirements you may need to include if statements to determine which of your detail pages should be accessed.

So if you had a list field in your record that had a number of choices which determined which detail page should be shown, you could use something like:
<a href="http://www.your_domain.com/
<?php if($record['your_field'] == "choice_one") : ?>
your_detail_page_1.php?num=<?php echo $record['num'] ?>
<?php elseif ($record['your_field'] == "choice_two"): ?>
your_detail_page_2.php?num=<?php echo $record['num'] ?>
<?php elseif ($record['your_field'] == "choice_three") : ?>
your_detail_page_3.php?num=<?php echo $record['num'] ?>"/>Link Text </a>.
<?php endif ?>
Hope that helps,

right now, i have some checkboxes in CmsBuilder for each record. they are Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Is that what you mean by a list field?

Yes, That's what I meant.

Give it a try and post whether it works and the code you used if it doesn't.

For check boxes I think you'll need to change the code to if($record['platinum'] ==1) and elseif($record['gold'] ==1), etc.

Good luck,

Didn't realize you had check boxes with the three levels set up already. Since you have that set up you don't need to do what I said. Follow Jerry's updated instructions updated by his 2nd post for using your check boxes and you'll be good.

kk, so i am screwing something up, lol.

If you go to www.seenstream.com/default2.php then type in a zip code, it brings you to list2.php with populated results.

There should be 3 listings with stars on them. One being a 'platinum' listing, one 'gold' and one 'silver'. And below the starred results, should be the generic listings, that should not be linked to anything.

My code currently...

<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
<?php require_once "cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php"; ?>
<?php if (!@$GLOBALS['GEOCODER_PLUGIN']) { die("You must activate the Geocoder plugin before you can access this page."); } ?>
<?php

$kmOrMiles = 'miles'; // can be 'miles' or 'km'

// set default values
if (!array_key_exists('fromAddress', $_REQUEST)) { $_REQUEST['fromAddress'] = '10001'; } // this is the default address/postalcode if none entered
if (!@$_REQUEST['maxDistance']) { $_REQUEST['maxDistance'] = '50000'; } // this will include all results

// get coordinates
list($myLat, $myLng) = geocodeAddress( @$_REQUEST['fromAddress'] );

// error checking
$errorsAndAlerts = '';
if (@$_REQUEST['search']) {
if (!@$_REQUEST['fromAddress']) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "No address entered!<br/>\n"; }
elseif (!$myLat || !$myLng) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "We couldn't determine your location, please try again!<br/>\n"; }
}

// get records
$addressRecords = array();
if ($myLat && $myLng) {
$maxDist = floatval(@$_REQUEST['maxDistance']);
list($trueAddressRecords, $trueAddressMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'participating_bars',
'addSelectExpr' => geocoder_getSelectExprForDistance($myLat, $myLng, '_distance', $kmOrMiles), // adds '_distance' field to output records
'where' => geocoder_getWhereForDistanceWithin($myLat, $myLng, $maxDist, $kmOrMiles), // optimization: remove results outside of minimum bounding rectangle
'having' => "_distance <= " . $maxDist, // only show results within max distance
'orderBy' => 'ISNULL(_distance), _distance', // sort nearest records first -and- unknown or undefined distances last
'where' => "none = '0'",
));
}

// get records
$addressRecords = array();
if ($myLat && $myLng) {
$maxDist = floatval(@$_REQUEST['maxDistance']);
list($falseAddressRecords, $falseAddressMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'participating_bars',
'addSelectExpr' => geocoder_getSelectExprForDistance($myLat, $myLng, '_distance', $kmOrMiles), // adds '_distance' field to output records
'where' => geocoder_getWhereForDistanceWithin($myLat, $myLng, $maxDist, $kmOrMiles), // optimization: remove results outside of minimum bounding rectangle
'having' => "_distance <= " . $maxDist, // only show results within max distance
'orderBy' => 'ISNULL(_distance), _distance', // sort nearest records first -and- unknown or undefined distances last
'where' => "none = '1'",
'perPage' => '5',
));
}

Hi Shawn,

I think I can see the problem, I've modifed that participation foreach statement:

<!-- Participating -->
<?php if (@$_REQUEST['search'] && !$errorsAndAlerts): ?>
<?php foreach ($trueAddressRecords as $record): ?>
<a href="http://www.seenstream.com/<?php if($record['platinum'] ==1): ?>
detail_1.php?num=<?php echo $record['num'] ?>
<?php elseif ($record['gold'] ==1): ?>
detail_2.php?num=<?php echo $record['num'] ?>
<?php elseif ($record['silver'] ==1): ?>
detail_3.php?num=<?php echo $record['num'] ?>
<?php endif ?>" />
<div class="listing-container"><?php foreach ($record['logo'] as $index => $upload): ?><img class="barlogo" src="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" /><?php endforeach; ?>
<div class="listing-container-heading"><h2><?php echo $record['title']; ?></h2></div>
<p><?php echo $record['address']; ?><br /><?php echo $record['phone_number']; ?><br />(<?php echo floor($record['_distance'] * 10) / 10; ?> <?php echo $kmOrMiles ?> away)</p>
<div class="star"></div></div>
</a>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endif ?>

I think the problem is that the listing-containter divs are only being shown if the record is silver as the endif statement was in the wrong place. I've moved it up so that it's in the same format as the platinum and silver, and added a closing quotation mark and link tag to the end. Let me know if that helps at all.

Thanks!
Greg Thomas
