Where does {$extra_listing_fields} come from?

[bowers01]

Hi,
I have a huge amount of extra fields, and when posting it can be confusing because they are so close together.
I want to use this

onMouseOver="this.bgColor = '#C0C0C0'"
    onMouseOut ="this.bgColor = '#FFFFFF'"

but in step3.tpl just has {$extra_listing_fields}, where does this come from? how do i edit it?
Cheers,
Nick

If you follow your own advice.....

http://www.68classifieds.com/forums/...title-tag.html

you will see the script where checkout originates and if you take a second to look at that file it will show you the exact path to each of the checkout files. As luck would have it they have similar names to the steps in checkout...ie step3.php.


Look in step3.php and you see the extra fields being returned from a function in the Lisings file....

$class_tpl->assign('extra_listing_fields', $Listings->extra_listing_fields($category));

Look in Listings.php for the function name extra_listing_fields and you will have the function that collects the extra field data from the database and builds the html to display it.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
If i search in listings.php i can find function extra_listing_fields($section) is this where you are talkign about? if so there are different sections where it makes a table.

1.

if($row['fType']=="P")

2.

if($row['fType']=="D" && $row['fRange']=="N")

3.

elseif($row['fType']=="D" && $row['fRange']=="Y")

4.

elseif($row['fType']=="C")

5 and the rest

elseif($row['fType']=="B")
elseif($row['fType']=="S")
elseif($row['fType']=="M")
elseif($row['fType']=="F")

Which one should i be changing?
Thanks for the help,
Nick

Yep, there are different sections because there are different extra field types (ie text fields, date fields, check boxes etc).

You change the ones that create the content for your extra field types. You didnt share that details so I cant be much more specific.

Ok, I found which one does it for a single line text box and the code is as follows:

$optdata.="<tr><td align='left' class='formleft'><label for=\"opt".$row['fID']."\">".$star ." ". $row['fName'].":</label></td><td align='left' class='formright'><input type=\"text\" id=\"opt".$row['fID']."\" name=\"opt".$row['fID']."\" value=\"".$defaultValue."\" /></td></tr>\n";

If i add it like this

$optdata.="<tr onMouseOver="this.bgColor = '#C0C0C0'" onMouseOut ="this.bgColor = '#FFFFFF'"><td align='left' class='formleft'><label for=\"opt"

i get this error

Parse error: parse error in C:\wamp\www\includes\classes\kernel\Listings.php on line 1814

How should the code look? i have no idea what im doing with php.

Thanks for the help.

Just like in html, javaswcript or CSS, single and double quotes along with other characters represent the start and end of certain types of data.

In php if you are simply assigning plain text to variable you enclose it in either single or double quotes...ie

$myvariable = "this is the data inside the variable";

If you notice in your quotes line you have all sorts of single and double quotes and you also seem to be missing the semicolon which indicated the end of the line for php.

If i have it like this

$optdata.="<tr onMouseOver=this.bgColor = '#C0C0C0'; onMouseOut =this.bgColor = '#FFFFFF';>

Where it does not have the two " it does not work but it does not have an error

It needs to be like this

$optdata.="<tr onMouseOver="this.bgColor = '#C0C0C0'"; onMouseOut ="this.bgColor = '#FFFFFF'">

but when its like that it errors.

How else can i do it?

It looks like you are missing the final " at the end after the >"

Thanks for the reply, but i just didnt copy the rest of it.
The whole line looks like this:

$optdata.="<tr onMouseOver="this.bgColor = '#C0C0C0'"; onMouseOut ="this.bgColor = '#FFFFFF'"><td nowrap=\"nowrap\" valign=\"top\" width=\"5%\">".$star ." <label for=\"opt".$row['fID']."\">". $row['fName'].":</label></td><td align='left' class='formright'><input type=\"text\" name=\"opt".$row['fID']."\" id=\"opt".$row['fID']."\" value=\"".$defaultValue."\" /></td></tr>\n";

in php you can surround strings with double or single quotes and if you have quotes within quotes they need to be escaped.

Your best bet, so as not to mess up the JS, is use single quotes around the whole string, then escape double quotes within the string.

Try googling for "php escaping quotes in string" and/or "javascript in php".

This has all been covered adnauseum on the net.
