Help with nested repeat region

Help with nested repeat region

I've been playing around with this for a while, but haven't been able to get it right. Have been looking at DA's repeating table and Tom Muck's nested region behaviour, but haven't got it to work with either. Plus I'm a little unsure if I need one or two SQL queries.

Anyway, this is the page that is closest, but has no nested repeat applied:

http://www.goodsafariguide.net/itineraries_beta/index501.php

Basically where there are two instances of 'Test Itinerary' (one for each of Tanzania and Kenya), I just want one instance to list Tanzania and Kenya together.

The table structure is:

Tables:

Itineraries
ItineraryID, Itinerary etc

activities
ActivityID, Activity, etc

ItineraryActivities
ItineraryID, ActivityID

And currently one SQL query:

SELECT * FROM itineraries INNER JOIN ItineraryActivities ON ItineraryActivities.ItineraryID = itineraries.ItineraryID INNER JOIN activities ON activities.ActivityID = ItineraryActivities.ActivityID WHERE Publish_GSG = 'Yes' AND Category_Order = 1

(Category_Order refers to countries in the activities table)

Basically I just need this code to repeat:

<table>
<tr>
<td><img src="../../itinerary_resources/icons/<?php echo $row_SecurityAssisttradeusers['Icon']; ?>" width="30" height="20" alt="Country Flag" /></td>
<td><h2><?php echo $row_SecurityAssisttradeusers['Activity']; ?></h2></td>
</tr>
</table>



Rather than it display duplicate entries for itineraries where more than one country is linked to the itinerary.

Hope that makes sense - I've attached a copy of that file.

Thanks,

take a look at this thread.

http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Create_nested_lists_from_a_recordset__PHP_-16720.html

I have used this approach a number of times and it is quite straightforward once you get familiar with it, and it shows how to do it with tables and lists.

You only need one recordset, just ensure your data is ordered correctly.

What you are doing is looking at the value of the field which is repeated, if it is the different the previous one, display it, otherwise skip it.

Thanks Craig,

Someone has been helping out somewhere else with the SQL, and almost got it working using this SQL:

SELECT itineraries.ItineraryID
, itineraries.Itinerary
,itineraries.ItineraryID
, itineraries.Itinerary
, itineraries.Summary
, itineraries.Currency
, itineraries.Price
, itineraries.Duration
, itineraries.Publish_GSG
, itineraries.Image3
, GROUP_CONCAT(
CONCAT_WS(':',activities.icon)
SEPARATOR '<br />'
)
AS flags
, GROUP_CONCAT(
CONCAT_WS(':',activities.activity)
SEPARATOR '<br />'
)
AS countries
FROM itineraries
INNER JOIN ItineraryActivities
ON ItineraryActivities.ItineraryID = itineraries.ItineraryID
INNER JOIN activities
ON activities.ActivityID = ItineraryActivities.ActivityID
AND activities.Category = 'Countries Visited'
WHERE itineraries.Publish_GSG = 'Yes'
GROUP
BY itineraries.ItineraryID

Which works here:

http://www.goodsafariguide.net/itineraries_beta/index801.php

But something goes AWOL when I try to display the little flag icons - it only displays them if there is only one country listed, which seems weird as the text from the field is displaying correctly above.

http://www.goodsafariguide.net/itineraries_beta/index802.php

Will have a look at your link and see how I go with that.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong (probably!) or that's how its supposed to work, but I've only gotten as far it listing the first itinerary with the countries for all the itineraries, like this:

http://www.goodsafariguide.net/itineraries_beta/index901.php

So I think 801 and 802 above are the closest I've got.

I think I understand why 802 isn't working, as the IMG tag to look up the image filename in the 'flag' field isn't repeating, I'm just not sure how to fix it.

Thanks Craig. I have been doing a little more, so some versions probably got out of whack.

The 801 and 802 are now 901 and 902:

itijneraries_beta902.php

Also, I meant to say, with the link here:

http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Create_nested_lists_from_a_recordset__PHP_-16720.html

I meant to ask, is that two solutions depending on situation, or one?

ie is the part up until 'Creating nested lists' for one scenario, and the bit below for another scenario?

That probably sounds dumb, but my brain is a bit fried from looking at so many different variations on this over the last couple of days!
