PHP - All My Posts Are Being Generated For All The Categories
Hey all,
I have a relationship where a zone has many posts and a category has many zones but a zone can also have many categories. The zones are basically parts of a page, such as the main area and sidepanel stored in database as records with name fields such as 'panel' and 'main'. There's a serious flaw right now and I would like to know the best solution to address it. Right now I access the posts of a zone of a category like this: Code: [Select] $category->zone->get()->post->get(); The above ends up displaying all the posts in the database for any given category because when category is selected, it searches for the associating zones, and then selects all posts related to those zones, which is wrong. i want to select all posts of the zones associated with that particular category. Current database: Code: [Select] posts id zone_id zones id name categories_zones id zone_id category_id categories id What should I do? Add a category_id column to the posts table and relate the post directly to the category as well as directly to the zones table so the post table would have two foreign keys: category_id and zone_id Would this be the most effective thing to do given my requirements? Thanks for response. Similar TutorialsHi there, I have a piece of code that takes all posts with the category of 'model' and puts it on the models page. It then displays the post as a gallery using fancy box. The problem is I want all posts with the category of 'faces' to go on the faces page, but at the moment they are appearing on both pages. Here is the code I have. Any help will guarantee a donation as I am at my wits end trying to figure this out. Code: [Select] <?php global $post; $args = array( 'numberposts' => 8, 'offset' => 0, 'category' => 'models', 'orderby' => 'post_date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_type' => 'post', 'post_status' => 'publish' ); $posts_array = get_posts( $args ); $x = 1; // track model foreach( $posts_array as $post ) { setup_postdata($post); ?> <div id="model-thumb"> <?php $arg2 = array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'numberposts' => -1, 'order' => 'ASC', 'post_status' => null, 'post_parent' => $post->ID ); $attachments = get_posts($arg2); if ($attachments) { $i = 1; // track images foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) { $image_attributes = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment->ID, 'full' ); if ($i == 1) { // Get thumbnail info to display with second image $img1src = $image_attributes[0]; $img1w = $image_attributes[1]; $img1h = $image_attributes[2]; } elseif ($i == 2) { // Display thumbnail with link to second image ?> <a class="allModels" rel="gallery<?php echo $x; ?>" href="<?php echo $image_attributes[0]; ?>" ?><img src="<?php echo $img1src; ?>" width="<?php echo $img1w; ?>" height="<?php echo $img1h; ?>"/></a><br /><p><?php the_content();?></p></div> <?php } else { // Other images ?> <div style="display:none;"><a class="allModels" rel="gallery<?php echo $x; ?>" href="<?php echo $image_attributes[0]; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image_attributes[0]; ?>" width="<?php echo $image_attributes[1]; ?>" height="<?php echo $image_attributes[2]; ?>"/></a></div> <?php } $i++; // Increase image count } } $x++; // Increase model count } ?> I have developed a calendar app. You can add events to certain days, edit, delete them, etc. It works fine now but I'm trying to improve the adding event section. I would like to be able to have a form where there are "name_of_event" and "description" inputs and then display a input that would have a date-picker. I also want to have a link/button that says something to the effect of "add additional day" and then tie a javascript function to it so when it is clicked another date-picker input will pop up under the first, and they'll be able to add as many additional days as they like. I can't figure out how to write the php code that will cycle through only the date-picker inputs though. Something like the following Code: [Select] <?php $name = $_POST['name_of_event']; $description = $_POST['description']; foreach(datepicker_inputs as $date)// <-- part i need help with { mysql_query("INSERT INTO Events (name, description, event_date) VALUES ($name, $description, $date)"); } ?> anybody have ideas on how i can only cycle through the date inputs? I'm pretty sure i'm going to have the date input form name something like "date_1", "date_2", etc. Hello Guys, Need a little help here. I have a db structure like this cat_id | cat_name | cat_status | parent_id 1 First Test 1 0 2 Just testing 1 0 4 Books 1 2 5 Cars 1 0 6 Ford 1 5 If the parent_id = 0 it is considered to be the parent. If it is a number it is considered a child and referencing the parent I want to be able to query the database and grab the cat and the sub cat and echo it on my page. Its like a classified ads application. Here is my while loop that I currently have which only echo's out the parent category. I would like to echo the child category under the respective parent category. I think I would have to do a loop within a loop, but not sure how to do it.. $query = "SELECT * FROM ad_category WHERE cat_status='1' && Parent_id='0' ORDER BY cat_name"; $result = mysql_query($query); while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { $cat_name = $row[1]; $cupper = UCWords($cat_name); echo $cupper . "<br>" ; } Thanks for your help in advance Hi, Please help I need to make categories with su-categories I made in my database tables like this table = categories cid | cat_id | parent_list | categ_name | type 1 0 1 General category c 2 1 1,2 sub category s 3 1 1,3 sub category s 4 1 1,2 sub category s 5 1 1,5 sub category s 6 5 1,5,6 sub sub category s 7 0 7 General category2 c 8 7 7,8 sub category s I need to view this in dropdown menu using parent_list column I have been going in circles about how to handle the issue that I have come up with and was hoping that someone could provide a different method. Basically I want to be able to create an infinite number of categories and allow them to be assigned to other categories then making them subcategories/sub sub categories if you will. My initial plan was to use a method I have used before by just saving the parent id of the subcategories and recursively going through the data. However, I am not to fond of this because of the inefficiency that it provides. I did some research and found that method is called the "Adjacency List". I also found another way to do it called "Nested Sets" which seems to be much more efficient but its a little harder to understand / maintain. I was hoping that someone here could offer alternatives to both of these methods that will allow me to keep the efficiency of "Nested Sets" but providing the ease of use / maintenance of the "Adjacency List". Thanks in advance for any help. I have two tables, one called Categories and one called SubCategories. Each subcategory needs to be displayed under its parent category in a HTML table.

I have made a website that deals with the sales of different products. It handles the total sales of a specific product. One of the aspects of the website is that it can change the current sales data of the products. At the moment I can change the sales figures fine however I have to click the submit button once and then physically refresh the page for it to change the data in the table. Is there a way that I can automatically refresh the page once the submit button is pressed? I have tried using headers for example: Code: [Select] if (!empty($_POST['NSales'])) { header('location: currentpage.php'); } however this just constantly refreshes the page. Any help would be greatly appreciated Hey! So, I don't know if this is the current section, couldn't really decide on what section/board to post it, so ..
I've got a code that I got from a friend of mine (it was a gaming website (a game server), but he shut it down, I asked for some scripts, he sent me the whole site ..). I got all other scripts correctly, but I do not know how to get this Last Forum Posts to work (IP.Board). I've got the SEO set up as it should and everything, doesn't work.
When I use this
<?php $_handlerForum = new mysql("Forum","localhost","*********_fqipb2","*********_fqipb2","password"); $topics = $_handlerForum->fetch("SELECT `tid`,`title`,`last_post`,`title_seo`,`last_poster_name` FROM `topics` ORDER BY `last_post` DESC LIMIT 0,3;",array()); $content = ""; foreach($topics as $topic) { $content .= "<a href='http://website.com/forum/index.php?/topic/".$topic['tid']."-".$topic['title_seo']."' target='_blank'>".$topic['title']."</a><br /> <small class='dim'>".$topic['last_poster_name']." - ".date("H:i F d, Y",$topic['last_post'])."</small><hr style='margin: 5px 0px;' />"; } return $content; return "Under Construction"; ?>I get this error Fatal error: Class 'mysql' not found in /home/***/***/***/public_html/extra/forum.php on line 2Thought that the problem was "new mysql" (on line 2), so I put in mysql_connect, still get an error. Can anyone help? im trying to run a query which will get posts from the database that have tags similar to the current ones. Unfortunatly the echoed result isnt displaying as it should. $query = $link->query("SELECT t.*, p.* FROM ".TBL_PREFIX."topics t JOIN ".TBL_PREFIX."posts p ON (p.p_tid = t.t_tid) WHERE t.t_name = '".decode_url($_GET['t_name'])."' LIMIT 1") or die(print_link_error()); $row = $query->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); $tag_query = $link->query("SELECT p_name FROM ".TBL_PREFIX."posts WHERE MATCH (p_tags) AGAINST ('".$row['p_tags']."' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ")or die(print_link_error()); $result = $tag_query->fetch(); foreach($result as $key => $value) { echo 'Name = '.$result[$key]['p_name'].'<br />'; } i have done a dump of result and it shows: Code: [Select] $ => Array (2) ( ['p_name'] = String(12) "File Updates" ['0'] = String(12) "File Updates" ) but there should only be one item in this array(p_name). I dont know where the second is coming from. The query has pulled the right results, it just isnt displaying it right. Hello,
New to php&mysql here and need a little help.
I want to make category list with sub-categories and sub-sub-categories. The goal is when I load website I will see full list with master(root)categories . Then when I click some categories should load sub-category and if I click on sub-category should load sub-sub-category. Something like this:
Computers -> Motherboards -> Model 1 -> Model 2 -> etc. Monitors -> Model 1 -> Model 2As you can see max level of sub-category will be 2+root. Here is the perfect example what I want to do http://3docean.net/category I don't understand(know) also how exactly will look my database table? How to store categories and sub-categories. I don't want someone to write full code etc as I want to learn it but will be great if you guys can show me some good tutorial how to make it mostly database structure. Thank you in advance! p.s. Sorry for my English! Hi all am haiving abit of a problem am trying to query 6 categories with 6 games each.With the code i done is only showing one cat with 6 games.
How can i fix this ?.
If you go to games-flash.co.uk you will see at the bottom of the home page that only one cat shows.
php code.
<div class="catgames"> Hello, I am doing (well trying to do, anyway) a script where I need to follow a link, and through its source (file_get_contents) i need to to follow each "category" and into its "subcategory" (and sometimes even SUBsubcategory). Lets say the first in the menu is called "Catfood", the second "Dogfood", you click on "Catfood" and you get a submenu with for example "Whiskas", another one called "Purina Pro", and you click "Whiskas" and you see a list of food called for example "Whiskas Junior Chicken" and "Whiskas Junior Fish". then after i have followed "Whiskas", i need to go back and follow "Purina Pro". then after "Purina Pro" i need to go back to "Dogfood" and do the same to its submenu + subsubmenu + food menu.. so yeah, thats pretty much it basically.. i have already used wget for windows to download the entire website to not put load on it all the time when trying stuff out.. i use RegEx to find categories, their products and price, and i got all that covered, it's just that the website isn't built very friendly for using Regex to tie lets say "Purina Pro" with being in the "Catfood" category, so i have to go through all categories and subcats to save the categories in maybe an array, and bind the subcategories to the main category ("Purina Pro" with "Catfood") i hope this all doesn't sound too errr weird lol, any help is very much appreciated even enough to just get me started on my own! =) ****************** EDIT BELOW: The menu looks a bit like this, though it's orinally not about cat or dogfood, they are just examples Catfood - Whiskas - Purina Pro Dogfood - Royal Canin - Puppy food - Grown - Senior - Bozita Robur Hello! I've got exactly what I've wanted in my previous topic so I have decided to make a new topic for some help. Quote General General Discussion Description here Entertainment Discussion Description here Gaming Console Discussion Description here Handheld Discussion Description here And a database like this; id title description parent 1 General description here 0 2 Gaming description here 0 3 General Discussion description here 1 4 Entertainment Discussion description here 1 5 Console Discussion description here 2 6 Handheld Discussion description here 2 Code: [Select] <?php function generate_forums($parent) { $has_childs = false; global $forums_array; foreach($forums_array as $key => $value) { if ($value['parent'] == $parent) { if ($has_childs === true) { $has_childs = false; } echo '<a href="/category/' . $value['title'] . '/">' . $value['title'] . '</a><br>' . $value['description'] . ''; generate_forums($key); echo '<br>'; } } } generate_forums(0); ?> The code works wonders. But it is hard to customize template wise. $ID#1 $title = General I would start off with <table> I need to have the Categories that Parent = ( 0 ) to have a HTML <tr> I also need the Categories with Parent = ( Value ) to have a HTML <td> Then the tags would be closed off before $ID#2 $title = Gaming's template would start again. I keep trying to scramble the coding around and can't seem to find that probably "simple" touch. Thanks in Advanced. Hi, So i'm having a little trouble trying to simplify some code I already have. Code: [Select] $result = mysql_query("SELECT images, cat_id FROM image_cat"); while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $cat_id=$row['cat_id']; echo $cat_id; $imgresult = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM images WHERE cat_id='".$cat_id."'"); while ($col=mysql_fetch_array($imgresult)) { echo $col['img_id']; } } Okay, so this works, however i'm sure I can bring it together under one query, though i'm truly stumped as to how? I thought I could do a simple join: Code: [Select] $result = mysql_query("SELECT image_cat.cat_id, images.img_id WHERE image_cat.cat_id=images.image_cat"); This works, but repeats the image category on each loop. I could remove this via php if statements, but there must be a simpler/mysql solution. If it doesn't make any sense I need to get Img cat 1 -img 1 -img 2 img cat 2 -img 3 -img 4 etc etc That join will give img cat 1 -img 1 img cat 1 -img 2 img cat 2 -img 3 Hope that makes sense?? And any help would be amazing! Thanks. I have two tables subcat and category structure subcat id_subcat|id_of_cat|subcat_name| and for main categories ID_cat|cat_name| now what I want to display them as Main category subcategory1 subcategory2 Main category2 subcategoryX etc... Here's the code I'm using but doesn't work,it doesn't display anything. <?php $query = " SELECT ID_cat, id_subcat, subcat_name, cat_name FROM subcat, category WHERE ID_cat=id_subcat"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $lastCat = null; while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { # Check if you need to print the category_name if($lastCat != $row['ID_cat']) { # Not the same category as the last one! # Print it and save the ID $lastCat = $row['ID_cat']; echo "<br />". $row['ID_cat']; } # Print the sub category echo "<br />". $row['subcat_name']; } ?> I have made a custom post type for products, and am using a custom taxonomy for the product categories. The thing that I am wondering about is that sometimes a product category is a parent, and sometimes a child, but sometimes both. For instance, if you have a top level category named shoes, then you might have a sub category named Nike. However, Nike also has shirts, so you could say that shoes and shirts were both subcategories of Nike. Do you know what I'm saying? It's like there is no real parent to child relationship, but they are both parents and both children of each other. How do you handle this type of situation?
