nested repeat regions

Hi I wonder if you can help?

I have been playing around with nested repeat regions and dont seem to be able to make it work. The page should display multiple invoices and each invoice should contain multiple products. I checked some of the other posts but couldn't find anything similar. Thanks

Here is the code for the page in question

<?php
// RepeatSelectionCounter_2 Begin Loop
$RepeatSelectionCounter_2_IterationsRemaining = $RepeatSelectionCounter_2_Iterations;
while($RepeatSelectionCounter_2_IterationsRemaining--){
if($RepeatSelectionCounterBasedLooping_2 || $row_Recordsetmultiprint){
?>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<td width="30%" colspan="6"><table width="100%" border="0">

<td width="30%"><form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<div align="right">

when working with nested repeat regions, you need to do some code rearanging.

the recordset code for the second repeat region needs to be moved inside of the first repeat region.

This is the code for the second repeat region...

mysql_select_db($database_midas0001, $midas0001);
$query_Recordsetdisplayproducts = sprintf("SELECT * FROM products WHERE invoiceid = %s ORDER BY productid", GetSQLValueString($colname2_Recordsetdisplayproducts, "int"));
$Recordsetdisplayproducts = mysql_query($query_Recordsetdisplayproducts, $midas0001) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordsetdisplayproducts = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordsetdisplayproducts);
$totalRows_Recordsetdisplayproducts = mysql_num_rows($Recordsetdisplayproducts);

and this is the code for the first repeat region...

mysql_select_db($database_midas0001, $midas0001);
$query_Recordsetmultiprint = "SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(datecreated,'%d %M %Y') as printdate FROM invoice LEFT JOIN customers ON customers.customerid = invoice.invoiceid LEFT JOIN products ON products.invoiceid = invoice.invoiceid LEFT JOIN preferences ON customers.prefid = preferences.prefid WHERE invoice.print = '1' group by invoice.invoiceid";
$Recordsetmultiprint = mysql_query($query_Recordsetmultiprint, $midas0001) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordsetmultiprint = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordsetmultiprint);
$totalRows_Recordsetmultiprint = mysql_num_rows($Recordsetmultiprint);?>

So, do you mean add the two codes together within the php brackets like so...

mysql_select_db($database_midas0001, $midas0001);
$query_Recordsetmultiprint = "SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(datecreated,'%d %M %Y') as printdate FROM invoice LEFT JOIN customers ON customers.customerid = invoice.invoiceid LEFT JOIN products ON products.invoiceid = invoice.invoiceid LEFT JOIN preferences ON customers.prefid = preferences.prefid WHERE invoice.print = '1' group by invoice.invoiceid";
$Recordsetmultiprint = mysql_query($query_Recordsetmultiprint, $midas0001) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordsetmultiprint = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordsetmultiprint);
$totalRows_Recordsetmultiprint = mysql_num_rows($Recordsetmultiprint);mysql_select_db($database_midas0001, $midas0001);
$query_Recordsetdisplayproducts = sprintf("SELECT * FROM products WHERE invoiceid = %s ORDER BY productid", GetSQLValueString($colname2_Recordsetdisplayproducts, "int"));
$Recordsetdisplayproducts = mysql_query($query_Recordsetdisplayproducts, $midas0001) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordsetdisplayproducts = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordsetdisplayproducts);
$totalRows_Recordsetdisplayproducts = mysql_num_rows($Recordsetdisplayproducts);?>

as i cant see it making a difference or have I got the wrong end of the stick.

sorry for being such a numskull

thanks

No, I do not mean combine the recordset code.


I mean that recordset code that drives the second repeat region must be moved so that it is inside the 1st repeat repeat region code in the body of the page.


you also need to set it to filter the foregin key column on the primary key value from the first recordset.

Hi Jason,

I have managed at last to get the recordset in the right place and the page is starting to come together. I am having trouble with the relationship though.

When our customers decide how many invoices they need to print up to 50 in some cases, they can mark the invoices they wish to print by putting a tick in a box. When these details are ready to be printed the recordset is searched by looking for the boolean tick which is a value of 1. The requested records are then displayed in invoiceid order. Recordset code below...

SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(datecreated,'%d %M %Y') as printdate
FROM invoice
LEFT JOIN customers ON customers.customerid = invoice.customerid
LEFT JOIN products ON products.invoiceid = invoice.invoiceid
LEFT JOIN preferences ON customers.prefid = preferences.prefid
WHERE invoice.print = '1'
GROUP BY invoice.invoiceid

the nested loop

The second recordset should search for the actual products that should be associated with the relevant invoice, but I am not sure how to link them as the first recordset is using the boolean value as the search criteria. And if I do use that value, it simply displays all the products on every invoice. Recordset code below...

SELECT *
FROM products left join invoice on invoice.invoiceid = products.invoiceid
WHERE invoice.print = '1'
ORDER BY productid

I fully realise that I should use the primary key to link the two repeat regions but I cannot see how I can manage this. Is there another method that I could use?

Any help would be really appreciated

on the second recordset add to the where clause:


WHERE products.invoiceid = paramInvoiceID AND invoice.print = '1'


then crate a new parameter:
Name: paramInvoiceID
type: Number
default value: -1
RunTime value: $row_FirstRSName['invoiceid']


where "FirstRSName" is the name of the first recordset.

Just like to say a big thank you Jason cheers

You're welcome.
