Laravel 4 - view is rendered in one function but not in another - php

Question

Ok here is the test controller:
class TestController extends BaseController {
public function __construct() {
ini_set("display_errors", true);
}
private $turnoverPerFranchise = array(
0 => 't1',
1 => 't2'
);
private $turnoverPerShop = array(
0 => 's1',
1 => 's2'
);
public function getTurnover() {
$formData = array();
$formData['shops'] = 'shosp dropdown';
$form = View::make('test.form', $formData);
$data2['content'] = $form;
return View::make('test/template', $data2);
}
public function postTurnover() {
echo 'post';
$formData = array('a');
$formData['filteredData'] = $this->getFiltered();
// if not set index shops. then it displays error - its how is expected
$data['content'] = View::make('test.form', $formData);
return View::make('test/template', $data);
}
private function getFiltered() {
$data2['totalsTable'] = $this->getTotalsView();
$data2['franchiseBlocks'] = array();
foreach ($this->turnoverPerFranchise as $franchiseId => $franchiseTurnover) {
$franchiseData['franchise'] = $franchiseTurnover;
$franchiseData['systemCurrency'] = '$';
$franchiseData['shopViews'] = array();
foreach ($this->turnoverPerShop as $shopId => $shopTurnover) {
if ($shopTurnover['franchiseId'] == $franchiseId) {
$franchiseData['shopViews'][] = 'shop view';
}
}
$data2['franchiseBlocks'][] = View::make('test.filteredData.franchise', $franchiseData);
//$data2['franchiseBlocks'][] = 'aa';
}
echo count($data2['franchiseBlocks']) . '<br>';
return View::make('test.filteredData.main', $data2); // same
}
/**
* Gets table of filteredData totals
* #return object
*/
private function getTotalsView() {
$dataTotals = array();
$dataTotals['totals'] = 'bla bla bla';
$dataTotals['systemCurrency'] = '$';
return View::make('test.filteredData.totalsTable', $dataTotals);
}
public function getMain() { // works
$data2['franchiseBlocks'] = array(1 => 'a');
return View::make('test.filteredData.main', $data2); // the same view in getFiltered is not displayed
}
}
If I call function postTurnover()
then it is rendered
post2 and the submit button. 2 means that there are 2 items for view to run in foreach loop.
When I run function getMain()
then the view renders perfectly fine.
View test/filteredData/main.blade.php is simple:
<br>
main
#foreach ($franchiseBlocks as $franchise)
<strong>franchise block</strong>
{{ $franchise }}
#endforeach
view test/filteredData/franchise.blade.php
franchise
#foreach ($shopViews as $shop)
<strong>aaa</strong>
#endforeach
Other views are probably not important. But if they are I will copy them.
Can you tell why can it not display as expected?

Answer 1

found the problem - was not using that data in test/filteredData/form.blade.php
had to put:
{{ $filteredData; }}
