I've looked at the forum and searched thru some of the other plugins thought it might be best to surface a question.

I created a sample.thtml file, but want to understand best practice for setting sample_id and sample_desc as they will repeat based on the number of rows in the sample database table.

Text Formatted Code

    <table id="sample" class="tablesorter">

        <thead>

            <tr>

                <th>{lang_sample_id}</th>

                <th>{lang_sample_desc}</th>

            </tr>

        </thead>

        <tbody>

            <tr>

                <td>{sample_id}</td>

                <td>{sample_desc}</td>

            </tr>

        </tbody>

    </table>

Hi,

All the magic of the template class is between  and .

sample.thtml

Text Formatted Code

    <table id="sample" class="tablesorter">

        <thead>

            <tr>

                <th>{lang_sample_id}</th>

                <th>{lang_sample_desc}</th>

            </tr>

        </thead>

        <tbody>

            <!-- BEGIN mysampleblock -->

            <tr>

                <td>{sample_id}</td>

                <td>{sample_desc}</td>

            </tr>

            <!-- END mysampleblock -->

        </tbody>

    </table>

in your php file

Text Formatted Code
$T = new Template($_CONF['path'] . 'plugins/myplugin/templates');

$T->set_file ('mysample','sample.thtml');

$T->set_block('admin', 'mysampleblock','mysamplevariable');

for ( $i=0; $i < $nRows; $i++ ) {

    $row = DB_fetchArray($result);

    $T->set_var(array(

        'sample_id'      =>  $row['sample_id'],

        'sample_desc'    =>  $row['sample_desc']

    ));

     $T->parse('mysamplevariable','mysampleblock',true);

}

I seem to be missing the magic...

After implementing the code, the loop executes for 3 rows, but the display is only the last row.

Thoughts?

It is a mistake of inattention. Can you try replacing

Text Formatted Code

$T->set_block('admin', 'mysampleblock','mysamplevariable');

with

Text Formatted Code
$T->set_block('mysample', 'mysampleblock','mysamplevariable');
