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 Shawn,

I would add a list field in your editor and have three options to choose from. Use that var for the page link in your foreach loop.

One|detail1.php
Two|detail2.php
Three|detail2.php

Does this sound like what you are looking for?

Hope this helps.

Steve

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',
));
}
