function: construct_postbit

[sabret00the]

can someone tell me why this thing refuses to do it's job for me please

PHP Code:

    // ###################### query for posts
     $posts = $DB_site->query("
         SELECT grps_post.postid, grps_post.groupid, user.username AS poster, user.userid, grps_post.title AS posttitle, grps_post.dateline, grps_post.pagetext AS message, grps_post.iconid, icon.title AS icontitle, icon.iconpath, grps_post.visible, usertextfield.*
         FROM grps_post
         LEFT JOIN user ON (user.userid = grps_post.userid)
         LEFT JOIN usertextfield ON (usertextfield.userid = user.userid)
         LEFT JOIN grps ON (grps.groupid = grps_post.groupid)
         LEFT JOIN icon ON (icon.iconid = grps_post.iconid)
         WHERE grps_post.groupid = $groupid AND grps_post.visible != 0
         GROUP BY grps_post.groupid
         ORDER BY grps_post.dateline DESC
     ");
 
     $cell  = 0;
     if ($DB_site->num_rows($posts))
     { // display the information
         while ($post = $DB_site->fetch_array($posts))
         {
             $cell++;
             $template = iif($post['isdeleted'], "postbit_deleted", "groups_viewthread_postbit");
             $postbit = construct_postbit($post, $template);
         } //got all that info
     }

What doesn't work?

[sabret00the]

no template is echoing out

[Dean C]

Well it can't do anything, you have to put $postbit in a seperate template

[sabret00the]

wow what a rookie mistake that was, i forgot to call the postbit into the template, sorry dean.

btw:

PHP Code:

if ($DB_site->num_rows($posts))
    { // display the information
        while ($post = $DB_site->fetch_array($posts))
        {
            $cell++;
            $template = iif($post['isdeleted'], "postbit_deleted", "groups_viewthread_postbit");
            $postbit = construct_postbit($post, $template);
        } //got all that info
    } 


can be reduced to

PHP Code:

while ($post = $DB_site->fetch_array($posts))
        {
            $cell++;
            $template = iif($post['isdeleted'], "postbit_deleted", "groups_viewthread_postbit");
            $postbit = construct_postbit($post, $template);
        } //got all that info 


as the while contains the if condition already
