Hi, there.

I'm using the following code on a page, and all of the categories show up on the live page, except "TCMH". Any why just one category would be hidden? There are several records that use that category label.

<p><a href="calendar.php">Show All</a></p>
<p><a href="calendar.php?category=TCMH">TCMH</a></p>
<p><a href="calendar.php?category=Aldaview">Aldaview</a></p>
<p><a href="calendar.php?category=Greenwood">Greenwood</a></p>
<p><a href="calendar.php?category=Nithview">Nithview</a></p>

Here's the live page: http://www.tcmhomes.com/calendar.php

Thanks!

Hey Common Sense Design,

Here are a few common problems that could cause this issue:

  • There is a hidden character in the dropdown value (as displayed in category-02.jpg) such as an extra space.
  • There are no records in the database with the category TCMH, or the records that have the category are hidden.

If it isn't either of these issues, please could you raise a second level support request (https://www.interactivetools.com/support/request/) so that I can take a look at how the page is set up? I'll need the sites FTP and CMS login credentials.

Cheers,

Greg

Thanks, Greg. I'm sending you the details.

Hi, Greg.

Thanks for the solution you sent me via email a while back.

Is there a way of solving this without having to add an image to each record? I know it works, but that seems a bit inelegant. If there isn't an easy fix, I certainly don't have a problem with passing your suggestion on to my client, though.

Thanks!

Hi, Greg.

I've tried this on a duplicate page, but now there's an error message: http://www.tcmhomes.com/calendar0.php.

There are syntax errors on the highlighted lines of code, but I don't know what the errors are.

<div class="col-md-5">
<?php foreach ($calendarRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if(empty($record['upload])): ?>
<?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php foreach ($record['upload'] as $index => $upload): ?>
<p>
<?php echo $record['category:label'] ?>:
<a href="<?php echo htmlencode($upload['urlPath']) ?>" target="_blank">
<?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?>
</a>
</p>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</div>

Hey,

I've reviewed the code, but I can't see anything obviously wrong with the code on those lines. Please, could you find out what the exact errors are that appear and post them for me?

Hi,

On line 161 there is a missing single quote after upload.

Should be like this:

<?php if(empty($record['upload'])): ?>

Let me know if that fixes the error.

Hi, Damon. Thank you - I should have spotted that!
