fetchPrintEntries parameter error

[reinhardl]

Hi,
I am still working on a template, it´s nearly finished but I have a problem

config.inc

Code: Select all

$twocolcats= array();

for ($i = 0; $i < $template_loaded_config['two_col_cats']; $i++) {
    $twocolcats[] = array(
        'anzahl' => $template_loaded_config['twocolcat' . $i . 'text'],
        'cat'  => $template_loaded_config['twocolcat' . $i . 'cat'],
        'kat'  	=> $template_loaded_config['twocolcat' . $i . 'cat']
    );
    $template_config[] = array(
        'var'           => 'twocolcat' . $i . 'twocolcat_info',
        'type'          => 'content',
        'default'       =>  '<b><p style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: orange">'. TWOCOLCAT_TITLE . ' #' . $i .'</p></b>' ,
        );

    $template_config[] = array(
        'var'           => 'twocolcat' . $i . 'text',
        'name'          => TWO_COL_ENTRIES . ' #' . $i,
        'type'          => 'string',
        'default'       => '2'
        );
    $template_config[] = array(
        'var'           => 'twocolcat' . $i . 'cat',
        'name'          => TWO_COL_CAT . ' #' . $i,
        'type'          => 'select',
        'default'       => '#',
        'select_values' => $catsel,
    );
}

$serendipity['smarty']->assign_by_ref('twocolcats', $twocolcats);

this fetch will work
index.tpl

Code: Select all

       	{foreach from=$twocolcats item="twocolcat" name=catlist}
  {serendipity_fetchPrintEntries category= $twocolcat.cat  full=true fetchDrafts=false noSticky=true limit="0,2" template="entries_2Cols.tpl"}       	
	 {/foreach}

and this fetch will NOT work:
( want to replace limit="0,2" with limit="0,$twocolcat.anzahl"

Code: Select all

{foreach from=$twocolcats item="twocolcat" name=catlist}
    {serendipity_fetchPrintEntries category= $twocolcat.cat  full=true fetchDrafts=false noSticky=true limit="0,$twocolcat.anzahl" template="entries_2Cols.tpl"}   
 {/foreach}

I suspect a syntax error

Any idea ?


Thanks

Are you sure $twocolcat.anzahl is just a int? It does not look like it.
It looks like the right syntax, beside the whitespace, but did you try "0,{$twocolcat.anzahl}" else?

[reinhardl]

.. did you try "0,{$twocolcat.anzahl}" else?

did not work

Are you sure $twocolcat.anzahl is just a int? It does not look like it.

What does a plain {$twocolcat.anzahl} inside your tpl, not inside the hook, say?

[reinhardl]

Code: Select all

 	{foreach from=$twocolcats item="twocolcat" name=catlist}
       	      {assign var="test" value=$twocolcat.anzahl}    
       	       {assign var="test2" value=0,$test}  
	   {serendipity_fetchPrintEntries category= $twocolcat.cat  full=true fetchDrafts=false noSticky=true limit=$test2 template="entries_2Cols.tpl"}   
            	
	 {/foreach}

this will work now, but it is dirty code or?

[Timbalu]

Yes that looks pretty dirty...., but maybe its part of the hook that you can't pass 2 vars to an item
I think, you could reduce your code to

Code: Select all

{assign var="limit" value='0,$twocolcat.anzahl'}   
{serendipity_fetchPrintEntries category=$twocolcat.cat full=true fetchDrafts=false noSticky=true limit=$limit template="entries_2Cols.tpl"}  

or do something like

Code: Select all

'anzahl' => "0,".$template_loaded_config['twocolcat' . $i . 'text'],

in the array creating php file

[Timbalu]

I just remembered how to solve your original problem just a little more elegant, I think, adding this to future questions:

In Smarty 2 you can do

Code: Select all

{serendipity_fetchPrintEntries category=$twocolcat.cat full=true fetchDrafts=false noSticky=true limit="0,`$twocolcat.anzahl`" template="entries_2Cols.tpl"}

- note the backticks `

In upcoming Smarty 3 you can also do

Code: Select all

{serendipity_fetchPrintEntries category=$twocolcat.cat full=true fetchDrafts=false noSticky=true limit="0,{$twocolcat.anzahl}" template="entries_2Cols.tpl"}

which will be a bit more intuitive to smartify expressions like this in future.
