Help with Smarty

Sorry for posting here, but there is not section in this forum for Smarty discussions.

I would like to get a solution for this problem. I declare an associative array in a php file and assign it to a Smarty template

Code:

$products = array(

array("name" => "Adidas",      "products" => "12"),

array("name" => "Asics",       "products" => "8"),

array("name" => "Montrail",    "products" => "4"),

array("name" => "New Balance", "products" => "7"),

array("name" => "Puma",        "products" => "9"),

array("name" => "Salomon",     "products" => "11"),

array("name" => "Vasque",      "products" => "6"),

);



$smarty->assign("manufacturers", $manufacturers);

How can I create a table using Smarty, with a specified number of colums, as the following (let's say columns number is 3):

column 1 column 2 column 3
row 1: Adidas Asics Montrail
row 2: 12 8 4
row 3: New Balance Puma Salomon
row 4: 7 9 11
row 5: Vasque
row 6: 6

I know how to do it with 3 rows grouping in a table cell [name] and [products]. This version with 6 rows seems to be complex for me. I appreciate a solution on this.

Thanks!

Re: Help with Smarty

Could you not use divs? Make Adidas 12 look to be on 2 rows, but have it in a block and just use 3 divs across each row like that?

Re: Help with Smarty

Someone more advanced in Smarty gave me this challenge. Of course I can use divs, but I need to do it in a table way as requested.

$smarty->assign("manufacturers", $manufacturers);

Hmm, I'd try to adapt this code: http://www.smarty.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1391

Re: Help with Smarty

Here is the solution without using any web resources. I tried to make it as simple as I could.

Code:

{assign var="columns" value=3}

{assign var="i" value=0}

{assign var="totalmanufacturers" value=$manufacturers|@count}



{if $manufacturers}

        {if $columns gt 0}

                {assign var="rowloop" value=$totalmanufacturers/$columns}

                {assign var="restloop" value=$totalmanufacturers%$columns}

<table>

                {section name=rows loop=$rowloop}

        <tr>

                        {section name=rowname loop=$columns}

                <td>{$manufacturers[$i].name}</td>

                                {assign var="i" value=$i+1}

                        {/section}

        </tr>

        <tr>

                        {assign var="i" value=$i-$columns}

                        {section name=rowproducts loop=$columns}

                <td>{$manufacturers[$i].products}</td>

                                {assign var="i" value=$i+1}

                        {/section}

        </tr>

                {/section}

        <tr>

                {section name=rowname loop=$restloop}

                <td>{$manufacturers[$i].name}</td>

                        {assign var="i" value=$i+1}

                {/section}

        </tr>

                <tr>

                {assign var="i" value=$i-$restloop}

                {section name=rowproducts loop=$restloop}

                <td>{$manufacturers[$i].products}</td>

                        {assign var="i" value=$i+1}

                {/section}

        </tr>

</table>

        {else}

                The number of columns must be greater than 0

        {/if}

{else}

There are no manufacturers. Please create them.

{/if}
