php creating css class dynamically - php

Question

I have a code which is completed and I want to add another code inside my completed code.
completed code:
function module( $prefix, $comma_seperated_suffixes ) {
foreach( (array)explode( ",", $comma_seperated_suffixes ) as $suffix ) {
$module_name = $prefix.trim($suffix);
if(count(JModuleHelper::getModules($module_name))) {
module_block($module_name);
}
}
}
I moved count(JModuleHelper::getModules($module_name)) to module function, previously it was in module_block
please dont use tovolt class, I mean simple code without php class
Module count block
i am assuming That I am calling this modules module("top-col-", "1,2,3"); then I have three modules called top-col-1, top-col-2, top-col-3
then my count module will look like this:
$TopCol1 = (int)(count(JModuleHelper::getModules($module_name)) > 0);
$TopCol2 = (int)(count(JModuleHelper::getModules($module_name)) > 0);
$TopCol3 = (int)(count(JModuleHelper::getModules($module_name)) > 0);
above code is will just count for active module (the only way to check active module), If a module is active then its var will be 1 .
and now the time to count active module:
$topColCount = $TopCol1 + $TopCol2 + $TopCol3;
if ($topColCount) : $TopColClass = 'count-' . $topColCount;
endif;
I am counting modules case I want to set a CSS class like this count-1, count-2, count-3 to active modules. and I want that class to be used in module_block.
please keep in mind that, above variable is static cause I made them manually. but if I call function then var need to be change with the function value like if user call module("bottom", "1,2,3"); then its count_modules will be $bottom1, $bottom2, $bottom3 and class will be $bottomClass.
I want to generate count_module using the same code module("bottom", "1,2,3");
Thanks #steve for your help

If I am understanding this correctly, this should help.
tovolt class: (note the new function 'prep_modules' added to this class)
<?php
////////////////// BEGIN CLASS tovolt
class tovolt{
function tovolt() {
//// constructor function - used to setup default variable states, etc. - if this is omitted PHP may have a fit ( depending on version and config )
}
public static $TopColClass = 'default-value';
function code_block( $jdoc_name ) {
?>
<div id="top-col" class="<?php echo self::$TopColClass; ?> columns">
<div class="panel">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php echo $jdoc_name; ?>" style="html5" />
</div>
</div>
<?php
}
function module( $prefix, $comma_seperated_suffixes ) {
foreach( (array)explode( ",", $comma_seperated_suffixes ) as $suffix ) {
$module_name = $prefix.trim($suffix);
self::code_block( $module_name );
}
}
////////////////// BEGIN NEW FUNCTIONS
function prep_modules( $MODULE_LIST ) {
$READY_MODULES = array();
foreach( (array)$MODULE_LIST as $module_name ) {
$MATCHED_MODULES = JModuleHelper::getModules($module_name);
$matched_count = count( $MATCHED_MODULES );
$matched_list = implode( ',', range( 1, $matched_count ) );
$READY_MODULES[$module_name] = array(
'MODULES' => $MATCHED_MODULES,
'count' => $matched_count,
'list' => $matched_list,
);
}
}
////////////////// END NEW FUNCTIONS
}
////////////////// END CLASS tovolt
?>
content page code - near top: (prepare this page's modules)
////////////////// SOMEWHERE BEFORE THE OUTPUT SECTION, LOAD MODULES FOR THIS PAGE
$READY_MODULES = tovolt::prep_modules( 'top', 'side', 'etc' );
content page code - content output area: ( choose the method that best fits your design )
method 1 - output a single section:
////////////////// DOWN IN THE MODULE OUTPUT SECTION - TO OUTPUT A SINGLE SECTION USE:
$section = 'top';
if( #$READY_MODULES[$section]['count'] > 0 ) {
tovolt::$TopColClass = $section; //// if you need to change: $TopColClass
tovolt::module( $section."-col-", $READY_MODULES[$section]['list'] );
}
method 2 - output all in order of loading:
////////////////// DOWN IN THE MODULE OUTPUT SECTION - TO OUTPUT ALL SECTIONS IN LOADED SEQUENCE USE:
foreach( (array)$READY_MODULES as $section=>$THIS_VAR_IS_NOT_DIRECTLY_REFERENCED ) {
if( #$READY_MODULES[$section]['count'] > 0 ) {
tovolt::$TopColClass = $section; //// if you need to change: $TopColClass
tovolt::module( $section."-col-", $READY_MODULES[$section]['list'] );
}
}
method 3 - arbitrary output:
////////////////// DOWN IN THE MODULE OUTPUT SECTION - TO OUTPUT MULTIPLE SECTIONS IN AN ARBITRARY ORDER:
foreach( array( 'side', 'top' ) as $section ) {
if( #$READY_MODULES[$section]['count'] > 0 ) {
tovolt::$TopColClass = $section; //// if you need to change: $TopColClass
tovolt::module( $section."-col-", $READY_MODULES[$section]['list'] );
}
}
