Smarty assign and display two dimensional array - php

I want to get a two dimensional array's data and display it in a html file using smarty:
The idea is as following: my array contains several arrays everyone contains the category name in the first offset and the attached links to this category
1-file php
$categories_links = array();//array that contains some catgories name with the attached links
//some dummy data
$categorie1="Horror movies";
$link11="http://www.movie11.com";
$link12="http://www.movie12.com";
$link13="http://www.movie13.com";
$categories_links[] = array($categorie1, $link11, $link12,$link13);
$categorie2="Action movies";
$link21="http://www.movie21.com";
$link22="http://www.movie22.com";
$categories_links[] = array($categorie2, $link21, $link22);
$smarty->assign('categories_links' , $categories_links );
$smarty->display('file.html');
2-file html
{foreach key=categorie item=categorie from=$categories_links}
foreach key=categorie item=categorie from=categorie}
<!--
1.display only the first item in every array as the category name
2.display the rest as the links attached to the above category
//-->
{/foreach}
{/foreach}

Assuming you use Smarty 3 (you haven't mentioned anything about Smarty 2) you can use the following code:
{foreach $categories_links as $categorie}
<p>
{foreach $categorie as $item}
{if $item#first}
<strong>Category name: {$item}</strong><br />
{else}
{$item}
{/if}
{/foreach}
</p>
{/foreach}
Output for this will be:
Category name: Horror movies
http://www.movie11.com http://www.movie12.com http://www.movie13.com
Category name: Action movies
http://www.movie21.com http://www.movie22.com
EDIT
As you mentioned in comment you want solution for Smarty 2 you need to use in you Smarty template file:
{foreach key=id item=categorie from=$categories_links}
<p>
{foreach item=item from=$categorie name=list}
{if $smarty.foreach.list.first}
<strong>Category name: {$item}</strong><br />
{else}
{$item}
{/if}
{/foreach}
</p>
{/foreach}
This will give you output:
Category name: Horror movies
http://www.movie11.com http://www.movie12.com http://www.movie13.com
Category name: Action movies
http://www.movie21.com http://www.movie22.com
(exactly the same as the one in Smarty 3)

I'd refactor the data array to use the category name as a key.
$categories = array(
'Horror movies' => array(
'link1',
'link2',
/...
),
'Action movies' => array(
'link1',
'link2',
/...
),
);
$smarty->assign("categories", $categories);
Then you can use it easily in Smarty
{foreach from=$categories key=category item=links}
Category: {$category}
{foreach from=$links item=link}
{$link}
{/foreach}
{/foreach}
It is much easier to use that way.

How to loop over an array in Smarty/Prestashop?

I use this code in Prestashop
{if (strpos($product.name, 'TVNUMBER1') !== false)}
THIS PRODUCT IS IN SALE
{/if}
So whenever I want to display that certain products are in sale, I have to go line by line, specifying the same product i.e."TVNUMBER1". I want to be able to write an array detailing all the products I have in sale "TV1, TV2, TV3", and get a code like this:
{if (strpos($product.name, '$array') !== false)}
THIS PRODUCT IS IN SALE
{/if}
I've tried similar examples found here, but I can't get them to work, either in Prestashop or in PHP testers online. It looks super simple, but I can't get around it.
I think what you want is the in_array php function, that check if a given $needle is or not in an array.
So what you should do is :
{if (in_array($product.name, '$array') !== false)}
THIS PRODUCT IS IN SALE
{/if}
Then in your controller you can assign the array to smarty :
$arr = array('TVNUMBER1', 'TVNUMBER2', 'TVNUMBER3');
$smarty->assign('myArray', $arr);
It seems you are using Smarty as template engine. So you could do something like this (from the doc).
In the controller
//Give it to the view
$arr = array('TVNUMBER1', 'TVNUMBER2');
$smarty->assign('myArray', $arr);
And in the view
//In the view, loop over the array
{foreach from=$myArray item=productName}
//If your product is among the in-sale ones, show the message
{if (strpos($product.name, productName) !== false)}
THIS PRODUCT IS IN SALE
{/if}
{/foreach}

4 columns in smarty

Is this even on the same planet as the correct code format in smarty.
{foreach from=$watchvendor item=item}
<td>{$item.id} - {$item.nick}</td>
{math equation= 'x/y' x=$item y='4' assign='howmany'}
{if $howmany eq 0}
</tr>
<tr>
{/if}
{/foreach}
i assume that $item is the element identity in the array ie.. 0 1 2 3 4 5 so when that did not work i tried this as well
{math equation=" 'x/y' x=count($watchvendor) y='4' assign='howmany'}
so basically if the loop divided by 4 = 0 its time for a new row.
The basic code without the extra math works fine i just want it spread out on the page.
ok i used
{$item|#debug_print_var}
and got this
Array (2)
id => 8
nick => "bbuddy" Array (2)
id => 7
nick => "span" Array (2)
id => 6
nick => "LJ" Array (2)
id => 5
nick => "JD" Array (2)
id => 4
nick => "Jsmith159"
sure is a strange looking array, first time i have ever seen a smarty array - no element id's
This seems to work...
<table class="ow_table_1 ow_form ow_automargin">
<tr>
{assign var=cnt value=0}
{foreach from=$watchvendor item=item}
{assign var=cnt value=$cnt+1}
<td>{$item.id} - {$item.nick}</td>
{if $cnt eq 4}
</tr>
<tr>
{assign var=cnt value=0}
{/if}
{/foreach}
</tr>
</table>

Smarty concat/foreach assignment

I have a main array:
$occupations = ['hs','uni','parent'];
and other multiple array of type
$columns_hs;$columns_uni;
etc.
I want to foreach through the "$occupations" array and then foreach through the other arrays but cant seem to get the right syntax.
Here is my code:
{foreach from=$occupations item=ov key=ok}
{foreach from=$columns_`$ov`}
do something
{/foreach}
{/foreach}
I am using smarty 2.
You can try to create your own varible with assign
Declare one array colums
$colums = array(
'hs' => [1,2,3,4],
'uni' => [5,6,7,8]
);
and your code in foreach is
{foreach from=$occupations item=ov key=ok}
{foreach from=$columns[$ov]}
do something
{/foreach}
{/foreach}

Codeigniter categories and sub categories function and pass to smarty variable

This is my codeigniter code for categories and sub categories when i echo the results outside the first foreach or pass results to smarty it only outputs last rows with last main id.
But echo within the first foreach before closing } returns all results.
function getAllCats(){
$this->load->model('mHtml', 'mnMod');
$main_cat = $this->mnMod->getncats();
$all_cat = '';
foreach($main_cat as $mcat){
$all_cat = '<li><h3>'.$mcat->cname.'</h3>';
$sub_cat = $this->mnMod->getscats($mcat->categoryid);
foreach($sub_cat as $scat){
$all_cat .= ''.$scat->cname.'<br />';
}
$all_cat .= '</li>';
}
// echo $all_cat; die;
$this->smarty->assign("nav", $all_cat);
}
Results returned with mymethod.
Power Inverters
Off Grid Pure Sine Wave
Grid Tie String
Micro Grid Tie
Results i want to achieve and pass to smarty variable
Solar Panels
Monocrystalline
Polycrystalline
Flexible Solar
Charge Controllers
PWM
MPPT Technology
Power Inverters
Off Grid Pure Sine Wave
Grid Tie String
Micro Grid Tie
I have the same issue what i did i get all parent categories by one mysql query and in another i select all categories, simply i assign variables to smarty and foreach those results against each parent category.
$main_Categories = $this->model->all_categories();
$this->smarty->assign("main_Categories ", $main_Categories );
//On Smarty page
{foreach $main_Categories $cat}
{if $cat->parentid = 'your parent id'} // parent id will be same for all main ids.
{$cat->category_name}<br />
{assign 'cat_id' $cat->cat_id}
{foreach $main_Categories as $sub}
{if $cat_id eq $sub->parent_id}
{$sub->category_name}<br />
{/if}
{/foreach}
{/if}
{/foreach}
Loop through your $main_cats and assign sub_categories for each one. Good practice is to ensure $main_cats is an array before doing this.
Controller:
function getAllCats() {
$this->load->model('mHtml', 'mnMod');
$main_cats = $this->mnMod->getncats();
if(is_array($main_cats))
foreach($main_cats as &$mcat) {
$mcat['subcat'] = $this->mnMod->getscats($mcat->categoryid);
}
$this->smarty->assign("cats", $main_cats);
}
View:
{if $cats}
{foreach from=$cats item=cat}
<li><h3>{$cat.cname}</h3>
{foreach from=$cat item=sub_cat}
{$sub_cat.cname}<br />
{/foreach}
</li>
{/foreach}
{else}
<p>No cats found</p>
{/if}

smarty template variable not clear

I am trying to understand developing web apps with PHP and smarty this is the book
there is a file departments_list.tpl
{* departments_list.tpl *}
{load_presentation_object filename="departments_list" assign="obj"}
{* Start departments list *}
<div class="box">
<p class="box-title">Choose a Department</p>
<ul>
{* Loop through the list of departments *}
{section name=i loop=$obj->mDepartments}
{assign var=selected value=""}
{* Verify if the department is selected to decide what CSS style to use *}
{if ($obj->mSelectedDepartment == $obj->mDepartments[i].department_id)}
{assign var=selected value="class=\"selected\""}
{/if}
<li>
{* Generate a link for a new department in the list *}
<a {$selected} href="{$obj->mDepartments[i].link_to_department}">
{$obj->mDepartments[i].name}
</a>
</li>
{/section}
</ul>
</div>
{* End departments list *}
I do not understand in above file one line which is
{section name=i loop=$obj->mDepartments}
how does name=i works I what is i initialized to and how can a loop start from i,
secondly above file is using a file function.load_presentation_object.php
<?php
// Plug-in functions inside plug-in files must be named: smarty_type_name
function smarty_function_load_presentation_object($params, $smarty)
{
require_once PRESENTATION_DIR . $params['filename'] . '.php';
$className = str_replace(' ', '',ucfirst(str_replace('_', ' ',$params['filename'])));
// Create presentation object
$obj = new $className();
if (method_exists($obj, 'init'))
{
$obj->init();
}
// Assign template variable
$smarty->assign($params['assign'], $obj);
}
?>
in above file a parameter $params has been used in last line
$smarty->assign($params['assign'], $obj);
as far as I can understand from file departments_list.tpl passes on parameter to function.load_presentation_object.php
as
{load_presentation_object filename="departments_list" assign="obj"}
so when following is called
function smarty_function_load_presentation_object($params, $smarty)
$params=depratments_list and $smarty=obj
so how does
$smarty->assign($params['assign'], $obj);
work what is $params['assign'] in above?
{load_presentation_object filename="departments_list" assign="obj"}
translated to php will be:
smarty_function_load_presentation_object(
array(
'filename' => 'departments_list',
'assign' => 'obj'
),
$smarty
);
Every parameters specified in smarty template are passed as associative array in first argument. Second is always current smarty object.
As for
{section name=i loop=$obj->mDepartments}
it is simple for loop:
for ($i=0; $i < count($obj->mDepartments); $i++) {
$current = $obj->mDepartments[$i];
}
