Displaying particular pages in Accordion menu

[skekum +]

Hi Guys, me again.

My better half would like specific pages showing in the accordion menu. I figured that I could restrict it to display just a range of page id's.

I have the code:

{foreach from=$templatepages item="entry"}
	<li><a class="page" href="{$smarty.const.URL}/pages.php?pg={$entry.pURI}">{$entry.pPageTitle}</a></li>
{/foreach}

Which I understand as fetching an array of all the pages.

I tried wrapping this in an IF statement but can't get it to work properly. I can get it to recognise the array (with the IF), but are having trouble being able to identify the page ID's. Here's what I had as a test:

{if is_array($templatepages.pageID) == "17"}
{foreach from=$templatepages item="entry"}
	<li><a class="page" href="{$smarty.const.URL}/pages.php?pg={$entry.pURI}">{$entry.pPageTitle}</a></li>
{/foreach}
{/if}

If you can stop laughing, I was taking a stab in the dark about how to reference the page ID, and only show the page that has the ID of "17". I actually want pages 17-23 inclusive, but was just trying to get it to work correctly first.

Am I even close?

Just to add, I know I could "hard code" the pages I want in, but i'm trying to get a better understanding of smarty and make the code cleaner.

I think you need to do it this way:

{foreach from=$templatepages item="entry"}
    {if $entry.pageID==17}
    <li><a class="page" href="{$smarty.const.URL}/pages.php?pg={$entry.pURI}">{$entry.pPageTitle}</a></li>
    {/if}
{/foreach}

or

{foreach from=$templatepages item="entry"}
    {if $entry.pageID==17 || $entry.pageID==18 || $entry.pageID==19}
    <li><a class="page" href="{$smarty.const.URL}/pages.php?pg={$entry.pURI}">{$entry.pPageTitle}</a></li>
    {/if}
{/foreach}

Thanks Eric, that worked great.

I was sooo close.

I thought that once the FOREACH statement had already called the array (and so built it), it couldn't be restricted after that.

Thanks for the lesson�and being so quick at responding.
