Display issue

I'm having an issue with a mod I'm creating for my site. Right now I have it saving screenshots to the database along with files. When you view the page, it lists the first file in the db twice and since it has 2 screenshots, the first duplicate shows one screenshot, then the second duplicate shows 2 screenshots.
Here is the code: PHP Code:
As you can see from the screenshot, Your Linker.zip is the entry that shows up twice when I have checked the db and it is only in the db once. |
If you are only expecting one result, why aren't you using query_first ? Then you don't need to do your while loop.
|
Its supposed to be all records from the database. There are screenshots in the database for each file record that need to be pulled and displayed with the file.
The screenshot only shows those 2 entries as thats where my problem is, there are a total of 3 files in the db. All 3 show though, but the first duplicates. |
Each time you go through the loop, you are adding to $display_shots. I assume $display_shots is then used in $display_bit? The first time you go through the loop, you will have one display shot, then the second time, two display shots, then the third time, three display shots, etc. Don't use ".=", use just "=" if you don't want that to happen.

Ok, I tried it, did nothing but make it 1 screenshot per duplicate. So I still have duplicates, same issue with screenshots. Do you need to view any templates or anymore php code?
|
So what is the code you are using now?
|
I'm using this, only changed what Lynne suggested above.
PHP Code:
|
What is being displayed? (i.e. provide screenshot)
I'm not really understanding what is duplicating. :p |

Oh guess that would help. lol
I took it down to only 2 entries. First screenshot is the duplicate entries showing. Second screenshot is the bottom of the record list showing the last entry that has no screenshot attached to it yet. |
Lynne, Dismounted, did you both give up me already? LOL

Sorry, but I'm terrible with mysql query type issues and I think that is where the problem is. Looking at your code, each time you go through the loop, you only assign one of the screenshots to a variable. So, you can only expect it to spit out one. Then, you go through it again, and I think it is adding to it, so you can get the second one (I'm guessing). What you need to do is get each file and then all the screenshots associated with it as an array (I think? I'm not sure). Right now you aren't allowing for two screenshots (or more) per file.
This just isn't my area of expertise, sorry. It's one of those types of problems I would have to brute force code. |
Well I have some code from sending a PM to multiple users. I'll see if I can't manipulate that code to work similar for this problem.
If any other suggestions come about I'm open to them though. --------------- Added [DATE]1239144085[/DATE] at [TIME]1239144085[/TIME] --------------- Looks like I have failed again. My idea didn't work and so I think I'm gonna have to do a case situation. Hell I don't know, any ideas? Anyone? |
Could you post the content of the two templates used in the loop?
|
This is the file display loop template:
$display_bit below HTML Code:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> $display_shots below HTML Code:
<a href="screen.php?img=$sid" target="_blank"><img src="screen.php?img=$sid" width="150" border="0"></a> |
Have you checked for duplicate entries in the database?
|
Yep, thats why I took it down to only 2 entries so that way I know for sure there are only 2 entries, different names and all.
|
Still needing help please.

I provided login to view that page so everyone can see the issue, maybe helping in determining the issue.

OK, so right now, it is showing the first entry twice, and the second time it's shown it is showing the image twice. The second item is fine and not being shown twice. Is that what is currently going on? (it should really only show entry 1 and 3, correct?)
|
Correct, the first two entries are one in the same but yes 1 and 3 or 2 and 3 should be the only ones showing.
|
How many records do you have in the table downloads? I'm terrible at queries (I hate joins!), but if I understand the query correctly, you should have one record for each download. Looking at the second entry (the one that shouldn't be there), you'll notice that each image has a different id - 4 and 5. So my guess is you have two records in the table downloads for that image.
EDIT: Wrong info. |
Downloads has 2 records, screenshots have 2 records, both of the screenshots goes to the first record of downloads.
They each have seperate id's so that they can be viewed in a bigger view. I'm pulling by id of download to match file_id in screenshots. So I don't know whats going on. |
If you have two screenshots for the same record, are they supposed to show as different 'posts' (two posts like post 1 only each with a single screenshot) or in a single 'post' (like post 2)?
|
In a single post, so record 1 should show 2 screenshots, record 2 should show none.
