Ok, I am starting a new job and learning a new person's code, and trying
to learn Smarty at the same time.
This question is so basic, but I have no idea where to look for an answer.
ANyway, I need to change the code so that, when there are no row returned
by the database, a message is displayed saying, "There are no events
scheduled." or what have you.
Now, the way I would have done this before using smarty would be to check
the number of records, and if there were none, I would display the
message, otherwise, I would loop through and display the results,
However, I know one of the points of smarty is to keep code out of the
presentation layer, so I don't want to go into the template and add an if
statement in there.
Any help directing me to an example or whatever would be helpful.
Here is what is going on right now in the code:
(in the PHP page)
$events = $db->getAll($sql_events, DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);
$tpl->assign("events",$events);
(in the template page)
{section name=id loop=$events}
<tr>
<td class="event">
<b>{$events[id].type}</b>: <a class="menulink"
href="{$url_prefix}/community/events/?id={$events[id].id}">{$events[id].date|date_format:"%B
%e, %Y"}, {$events[id].speaker}</a><br />
{$events[id].title}
</td>
</tr>
{/section}
Thanks,
Amanda
