Getting child items of a folder

Thursday 05 January 2006 8:38:13 am

Hi. I'm pretty new to php and Exponential system, so bare with me with my very rookie
questions here :)

This is what i've done:

Made a class that allows the user to input user data, to be stored in a folder
Made a section connected to that folder that contains the items that the users post,
so that I can easily create override templates with code that changes how the data
is outputted on a browser.

I've succesfully made items after creating the class, and successfully listed the items
with this code:

<div class="pagetitle">

   Member information

</div>

 

<div class="imageleft">

   {* Display a picture of the member. *}

   {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.picture}

</div>

 

{* Display the attribute names and their values. *}

<table class="member_info" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="3">

   <tr>

       <td><b>{$node.object.data_map.realname.contentclass_attribute.name}:</b></td>

       <td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.realname}</td>

   </tr>

   <tr>

       <td><b>{$node.object.data_map.nickname.contentclass_attribute.name}:</b></td>

       <td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.nickname}</td>

   </tr>

   <tr>

       <td><b>{$node.object.data_map.birthdate.contentclass_attribute.name}:</b></td>

       <td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.birthdate}</td>

   </tr>

   <tr>

       <td><b>{$node.object.data_map.gender.contentclass_attribute.name}:</b></td>

       <td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.gender}</td>

   </tr>

   <tr>

       <td><b>{$node.object.data_map.phone.contentclass_attribute.name}:</b></td>

       <td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.phone}</td>

   </tr>

   <tr>

       <td><b>{$node.object.data_map.email.contentclass_attribute.name}:</b></td>

       <td>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.email}</td>

   </tr>

</table>

Which is pretty simple. But before that code is initiated, a list of each item in that folder is presented to me on the screen.
It is very similar to making a folder on admin screen, then adding an article.

You can see an example here: http://www.trav24.no/index.php/portal/travtrenere/soerlandets_travpark

At that example, it lists the items in that folder. Instead I want it to list the content of each item, inside that very folder. So instead of clicking on i.e. 'Arild Berås', it will just list the
preformatted item on the first page there, including all the other ones that might lay
in the folder.

Could anyone help me make a code that loops through the items in each folder,
uses the code above to fetch the data and to format it as I want it to be?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply.

I guess the real question in all this is how to loop through the child objects of a node/folder.

I.e.

/ezp/content/info01
/ezp/content/info02
/ezp/content/info03
/ezp/content/info04
/ezp/content/info05

If i then create a section that is connected to that content folder, what code makes me
able to loop through the chile objects of that folder(info01, info02, etc).

From my limited knowledge about programming, I can understand that this code:

{$node.object.data_map.realname.contentclass_attribute.name}:

it takes the current node, fetches the contentclass stored variables and makes you able to print it to the screen. The problem is that when I input this code to an override to the
specified folder(/ezp/content/), it will try to fetch the data from the current folder node, and
not the info01,info02,info03...etc which is the real nodes,items or objects(if that's what you call it) that stored the information i've put in.
