Hey craig_bcd,

Unfortunately, the issue isn't apparent just from your code snippets here - I have a few questions to help narrow it down:

  • Is what you've pasted below the full code on the page? Since the meta array contains the correct number of records and differs from the length of the records array, I am curious if there's any point after getRecords() where the $x_newsRecords variable could be getting modified.
  • Can you run the getRecords() query with "debugSql" turned on, and copy/paste the output here? Example:
    list($x_newsRecords, $x_newsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
    'tableName' => 'x_news',
    'loadUploads' => true,
    'allowSearch' => false,
    'where' => "blog_category = '$blog_where'",
    'orderBy' => "`post_date` DESC",
    'debugSql' => true,
    ));​

Thanks!

Hey Daniel - 

Thanks for the help - well I don't know how to explain this but here are the debug results  and i  posted the whole page code below.  Also I took a screenshot of the x_news table in the database and you can see there are records with blog_category = 1

Please let me know if you need anything else. 

thanks!

Hey craig,

I think this is a different issue than in the first post - your "where" syntax is a bit off. This:

'where' => "'blog_category' = 1",

Should be this:

'where' => "blog_category = '1'",

This is likely the reason it's returning 0 records at the moment, but in your first post the syntax is correct and it's returning records - just the wrong ones. Try correcting the above issue, but also feel free to send a support request: https://www.interactivetools.com/support/request/

Include the FTP connection details and the location of your test file - I should be able to quickly go in and run a few tests to help troubleshoot the initial issue.

Thanks,

you are right!  see below - still not sure why the #5 records show up in the foreach loop

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS `x_news`.*
FROM `cms_x_news` as `x_news`
WHERE (blog_category = '1')
ORDER BY `post_date` DESC
SELECT * FROM `cms_uploads` WHERE tableName = 'x_news' AND
fieldName IN ('photo') AND
recordNum IN (64,63,59,58,47,40,38,39,33,31,21,20,14)
ORDER BY `order`, num
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS `accounts`.*
FROM `cms_accounts` as `accounts`
WHERE (`num` IN (29,26,1,18))
ORDER BY fullname, username
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS `members`.*
FROM `cms_members` as `members`
WHERE (`num` IN (29,26,1,18))
ORDER BY user_fname ASC
SELECT * FROM `cms_uploads` WHERE tableName = 'members' AND
fieldName IN ('photo') AND
recordNum IN (1)
ORDER BY `order`, num
# records 13

Hey Daniel - 

Nevermind - I am too clever for my own good apparently.  I found the issue. The menu system goes out to check and see if there are records to be displayed before it makes the menu option a choice. 

Thanks for your wilingness to jump in with me!

Regards,

Craig

Hey Craig,

Thanks for the update - that definitely explains the issue. Glad you were able to figure it out!
