How can I comment this particular block of PHP code? - php

How would I go about commenting all of this code when it has breaks in the PHP sections?
If I wrap /* */ around it, it doesn't work.
Obviously I can make it work by not being lazy, but if I want to be lazy... How might you comment this whole block?
if($fields){
?>
<ul>
<?php
foreach($fields as $field){
?>
<li>
<?php
/* if($field['label']){
echo $field['label'];
} */
print_ext($field);
?>
</li>
<?php
}
?>
</ul>
<?php
}

You can't really but you can turn it off pretty easily.
if($fields && false){
?>
<ul>
<?php
foreach($fields as $field){
?>
<li>
<?php
/*if($field['label']){
echo $field['label'];
}*/
print_ext($field);
?>
</li>
<?php
}
?>
</ul>
<?php
}

The following solution should work. You might have issues if you are wrapping the comments that exist already around if($field['label']) so I have deleted them as shown below.
<?php
/*
if($fields){
?>
<ul>
<?php
foreach($fields as $field){
?>
<li>
<?php
if($field['label']){
echo $field['label'];
}
print_ext($field);
?>
</li>
<?php
}
?>
</ul>
<?php
}
*/
?>
For more information look at this answer.

Put your HTML within the PHP open/close tags and then the /* */ will work fine.

Not really commenting, but you can disable this block like this (almost no matter its content):
<?php $bar = <<<'EOD'
if($fields && false){
?>
<ul>
<?php
foreach($fields as $field){
?>
<li>
<?php
/*if($field['label']){
echo $field['label'];
}*/
print_ext($field);
?>
</li>
<?php
}
?>
</ul>
<?php
}
EOD;

Issue in pulling pages from the database

I am having problems pulling the pages through in PHP and HTML I have used :-
<li>
<!-- Pulling Categories from the database
dynamically -->
<?php
$nav_subjects = find_all_subjects(['visible' => $visible]);
while($nav_subject =
mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_subjects)) {
?>
<span class="opener"><?php echo h($nav_subject['menu_name']); ?></span>
Which pulls the categories dynamically from the database and displays them with a drop down arrow just how I wanted but the pages will not show underneath them here's the code I have used for that bit:-
<!-- Categories listed correctly let's pull the pages for each one -->
<?php
if($nav_subject['id'] == $subject_id) {
$nav_pages = find_pages_by_subject_id($nav_subject['id'], ['visible' => $visible]);
while($nav_page = mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_pages)) {
?>
<ul>
<li>
<?php echo h($nav_page['menu_name']); ?>
</li>
</ul>
<?php } // while $nav_pages
} // if($nav_subject['id'] == $subject_id)
} // while $nav_subjects ?>
</li>
<?php
mysqli_free_result($nav_subjects);
mysqli_free_result($nav_pages);
?>
I am pulling in the SQL from another page which is loaded correctly as the categories load and display correctly.
I will be grateful for any ideas.
I have also tried to echo back the sql result but nothing is shown.
I have now got it working with the following code:-
<li>
<?php $nav_subjects = find_all_subjects(['visible' => $visible]);
while($nav_subject = mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_subjects)) {?>
<span class="opener"><?php echo h($nav_subject['menu_name']); ?></span>
<ul>
<?php if($nav_subject['id'] == $subject_id);
$nav_pages = find_pages_by_subject_id($nav_subject['id'], ['visible' => $visible]);
while($nav_page = mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_pages)) { ?>
<li><?php echo h($nav_page['menu_name']); ?></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
But now it is listing the secondary subjects as a child of the first instead of individual subjects of their own.
*********Resolved**********
please advise if you think the code could be better i've currently used :-
<li>
<?php $nav_subjects = find_all_subjects(['visible' => $visible]);?>
<?php while($nav_subject = mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_subjects)){?>
<span class="opener"><?php echo h($nav_subject['menu_name']);?></span>
<ul>
<?php if($nav_subject['id'] == $subject_id);
$nav_pages = find_pages_by_subject_id($nav_subject['id'], ['visible' => $visible]);
while($nav_page = mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_pages)) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo url_for('index.php?id=' . h(u($nav_page['id']))); ?>">
<?php echo h($nav_page['menu_name']); ?></a>
<?php } ?>
<?php mysqli_free_result($nav_pages); ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
<?php mysqli_free_result($nav_subjects); ?>
</li>

Show subcategories for selected parent category in search.php in Osclass

I am trying to figure out how can I show subcategories for selected parent category in search.php. I have code which shows subcategories of all categories, but how can I modify this code to show subcategories for only selected category?
this is my code:
<?php while(osc_has_categories()) { ?>
<?php if(osc_count_subcategories() > 0) { ?>
<ul>
<?php while(osc_has_subcategories()) { ?>
<li>
<strong><?php echo osc_category_name(); ?></strong></label>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
thank you
When in a loop while(osc_has_categories()), it allows you to use osc_category_* helpers.
You could do something like:
<?php while(osc_has_categories()) { ?>
<?php if(osc_category_id() === 98): ?>
<?php if(osc_count_subcategories() > 0) { ?>
<ul>
<?php while(osc_has_subcategories()) { ?>
<li>
<strong><?php echo osc_category_name(); ?></strong>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php } ?>

Magento get CMS pages based on layout

So I'm building a custom breadcrumb nav to list all fundraising options. The pages are using a unique layout called "fundraising_page." Is there a way to grab the pages only if they have the "fundraising_page" layout? So far I have this, which is grabbing every page regardless of the template it is using.
So what I need is only to list the pages that are using the "fundraising_page" template.
<?php $collection = Mage::getModel('cms/page')->getCollection()->addStoreFilter(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId());?>
<?php $collection->getSelect()->where('is_active = 1'); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($collection as $page): ?>
<?php $PageData = $page->getData(); ?>
<?php if($PageData['identifier']!='no-route'){ ?>
<li>
<?php echo $PageData['title'] ?>
</li>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Here's some well formatted code and using proper methods.
<?php
$collection = Mage::getModel('cms/page')->getCollection()
->addStoreFilter(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
->addFieldToFilter('is_active', 1)
->addFieldToFilter('root_template', 'fundraising_page');
?>
<?php foreach ($collection as $page): ?>
<?php if ($page->getIdentifier() != 'no-route'): ?>
<li>
<?php echo $page->getTitle() ?>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Instead of if($PageData['identifier']!='no-route') try
if($PageData['root_template']=='fundraising_page')

PHP - limiting the output of a plugin

I'm using a plugin titled "WP Recent Links" which I first learned about via Eric Meyer's site. Eric uses to display a Link Log within his site and I'm doing the same on my test site - http://matala.jorgeledesma.net/ but I'm running into a little situation and that is that I don't know how to limit the output either on the sidebar or the actual page - http://matala.jorgeledesma.net/recent-links/
My goal is to have it echo only the first 5 entries on the sidebar and for the recent-links page only echo the current month. The code below displays the sidebar properly
<?php if (!is_page('48')) { ?>
<aside id="meta" class="widget">
<h1 class="widget-title">Link Log</h1>
<?php if ($links = rp_recentlinks_home()) { ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($links as $link) { ?>
<b><li><?php echo wptexturize($link->link_text); ?></b>
<?php if ('' != $link->link_caption) { ?>→
<?php echo wptexturize(convert_smilies($link->link_caption)); ?><?php } ?>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
</aside>
<?php } ?>
and this code display the actual recent-links page
<h1 class="page-title"><?php rp_recentlinks_archive_header(); ?></h1>
</header>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php $links = rp_recentlinks_archive_page(); ?>
</div>
<?php if ($links) { ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($links as $link) { ?>
<p id="rlink-<?php echo $link->ID; ?>"><?php echo wptexturize($link->link_text); ?>
<?php if ('' != $link->link_caption) { ?>→
<?php echo wptexturize(convert_smilies($link->link_caption)); ?><?php } ?>
</p>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
I tried putting the following code in the body.
$list = array_slice($input, 0, 5); // $list now only having first 5 item.
But I don't know how to apply it, if that's the command at all. So perhaps, someone can guide in the right direction. Thanks in advance, Jorge.
Looks like all you have to add is this before you pass $links to the foreach loop:
$links = array_slice($links,0,5);

Adding a class to the last row in a foreach loop

HI all,
This code works perfectly printing all 5 results with borders on the bottom of each list item through CSS.
However the last item id like there to be no border. How could i add a class to the list item on the last iteration?
<?php list($parent) = split('/', $this->url); ?>
<?php $last_articles = $this->find('/news')->children(array('limit'=>5, 'order'=>'page.created_on DESC')); ?>
<ul id="latest-news">
<?php foreach ($last_articles as $article): ?>
<li>
<?php echo '<h3>'.$article->link($article->title()).'</h3>'; ?>
<?php echo strip_tags(substr($article->content(),0,100)).'...'; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
Thanks for your help.
<?php list($parent) = split('/', $this->url); ?>
<?php $last_articles = $this->find('/news')->children(array('limit'=>5, 'order'=>'page.created_on DESC')); ?>
<ul id="latest-news">
<?php $count = count($last_articles); $num = 0; ?>
<?php foreach ($last_articles as $article): ?>
<li <?php if($num == $count-1){ ?> class="last-item" <?php } ?>>
<?php echo '<h3>'.$article->link($article->title()).'</h3>'; ?>
<?php echo strip_tags(substr($article->content(),0,100)).'...'; ?>
</li>
<?php $num++ ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
BTW, this adds the class "last-item" to the last item processed.
And yes, you should restructure your code so its readable.
You can use the :last-child CSS modifier:
ul.latest-news:last-child { border-bottom: none; }
But it's not so widely supported (yet), so adding an explicit .last class as you're about to do is probably best.
