Use Custom Fields to create Pedigree

vlambert, go ahead and create a html table that has the exact pedigree layout your are looking for. in the table cells put in the name of the extra field that you created in the 68C admin. Then post the table code here and I will show you what you need to moify in the viewlisting template.

NOTE, all I am interested in is the table structure that you want so go ahead and use your favorite html editor to create the table.

Assuming you have other extra fields, besides those for the pedigree that you want displayed normally, here is what I would do.

open viewlisting.tpl template and find this code...

Code:

{* Extra Fields *}
			{foreach from=$extrafields item=extras}
			<tr>
				<td><strong>{$extras.title}:</strong></td>
				<td>
					{if isset($extras.value)}
					  {foreach key=key item=item from=$extras.value}
						{$item}<br />
						{foreachelse}
						{$extras.value}
					  {/foreach}
					 {/if}
				</td>
			</tr>
			{/foreach}
			{* End Extra Fields *}

and replace it with this code.....

Code:

{* Extra Fields *}
  {foreach from=$extrafields item=extras}
{if $extras.title=="Sires Sires Sire Name" || 
	$extras.title=="Sires Sires Dam Name" || 
	$extras.title=="Sires Dams Sire Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Sires Dams Dam Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Dams Sires Sire Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Dams Sires Dam Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Dams Dams Sire Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Dams Dams Dam Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Sires Sire Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Sires Dam Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Dams Sire Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Dams Dam Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Sire Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Dam Name" ||
	$extras.title=="Name of Animal"}
	{$extras.title|replace:' ':''}
{assign var=$extras.title value=$extras.value}
{else}
    <tr>
      <td><strong>{$extras.title}:</strong></td>
      <td>
        {if isset($extras.value)}
          {foreach key=key item=item from=$extras.value}
            {$item}<br />
          {foreachelse}
            {$extras.value}
          {/foreach}
        {/if}
      </td>
    </tr>
{/if}
  {/foreach}
{* End Extra Fields *}

I added evaluations in the loop to check the name field and if it equals one of your field names it will not display it normally but will assign it to a new variable whichis used in your html table code below.

Just take the below html and plug it into your template where you want the pedigree table to appear.

HTML:

<table width="594" height="80" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="140" rowspan="8" valign="middle"><div align="right" class="style28">
<p>{$NameofAnimal}</p>
</div></td>
<td width="142" rowspan="4" valign="middle"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$SireName}</p>
</div></td>
<td width="153" rowspan="2" valign="middle"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$SiresSireName</p>
</div></td>
<td width="159" height="20" valign="middle"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$SiresSiresSireName}<br />
</p>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$SiresSiresDamName}<br />
</p>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$SiresDamName}</p>
</div></td>
<td height="20"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$SiresDamsSireName}<br />
</p>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$SiresDamsDamName}<br />
</p>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="4" valign="middle"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$DamName}</p>
</div></td>
<td rowspan="2" valign="middle"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$DamsSireName}</p>
</div></td>
<td height="20" valign="middle"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$DamsSiresSireName}<br />
</p>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20" valign="middle"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$DamsSiresDamName}<br />
</p>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$DamsDamName}</p>
</div></td>
<td height="20"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$DamsDamsSireName}<br />
</p>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20"><div align="left" class="style28">
<p>{$DamsDamsDamName}<br />
</p>
</div></td>

It would help if you told us what version of 68C you are using and what template you are using.

there is a template file called viewlisting.tpl in


/templates/default/viewlisting.tpl

which is what I assumed you were using since you didnt give us any additional info.

ok, sorry I missed that.

I dont have the horse green template so can only guess. If your certain there is no viewlisting.tpl in /templates/horsegreen then What I would do is copy the file /templates/default/viewlisting.tpl to the folder that has your horsegreen template in it and then modify that file.

did you create the extra fields? And in turn fill them in for the ad in question?

It need to go in the viewlisting.tpl temp;late, where you put the html code for the table depends on where you want the pedigree to appear.

Also, in the logic where I evaluate the name of the field I am using the names of the fields you gave me so maybe something is wrong there.

Do this. remove the code chunk I gave you in between the comment lines...

{* Extra Fields *}

and put it back the way it was so I cna look at the names of the extra fields etc.

Ok, i redid things abit, now go back in and change the {* extra fields *} section with this code and post up when done.

Code:

{* Extra Fields *}
  {foreach from=$extrafields item=extras}
{if $extras.fID=="1"}
{assign var=NameofAnimal value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="2"}
{assign var=SiresSiresSireName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="4"}
{assign var=SiresSiresDamName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="5"}
{assign var=SireName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif	$extras.fID=="6"}
{assign var=SiresDamsSireName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="7"}
{assign var=SiresDamName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="8"}
{assign var=SiresDamsDamName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="9"}
{assign var=DamsSiresSireName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="10"}
{assign var=DamsSireName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="11"}
{assign var=DamsSiresDamName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="12"}
{assign var=DamName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="13"}
{assign var=DamsDamsSireName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="14"}
{assign var=DamsDamName value=`$extras.value`}
{elseif $extras.fID=="15"}
{assign var=DamsDamsDamName value=`$extras.value`}
{else}
    <tr>
      <td><strong>{$extras.title}:</strong></td>
      <td>
        {if isset($extras.value)}
          {foreach key=key item=item from=$extras.value}
            {$item}<br />
          {foreachelse}
            {$extras.value}
          {/foreach}
        {/if}
      </td>
    </tr>
{/if}
  {/foreach}
{* End Extra Fields *}

It may have been my fault. I edited the code above, try it again. Just to reiterate where we are.

The table htm you created and I tweaked should be removed altogether right now.

The code I created above needs to take the place of the code in between the smarty comment lines.

{* Extra Fields *}
{* End Extra Fields *}

P.S. I wrote this reply before I edited the above code so make sure the code you are using has the variable names that are not in double quotes and the value name is surrounded by back tics.
