PHP-General - PHP Help - Consecutive Numbering

I'm trying to hide some specific <tr> rows on the registration form in Virtuemart that are not needed, but there is no way to 'target' them as it uses the same piece of coding to create all the rows.

What we have at the moment is:

echo ' <table class="adminForm user-details">' . "\n";
$_table = true;
}
echo ' <tr>' . "\n";
echo ' <td class="key" title="'.$_field['description'].'" >' . "\n";
echo ' <label class="' . $_field['name'] . '" for="' . $_field['name'] . '_field">' . "\n";
echo ' ' . $_field['title'] . ($_field['required'] ? ' *' : '') . "\n";

Where the td class is simply called "key" and all td are then called the same. We are trying to add in some consecutive lettering functionality so that each row then gets labelled with a consecutive number.

We've tried adding this into the top of the page:

<?php
// array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i');
foreach (range('a', 'z') as $letter)
?>
Which does generate consecutive letters, and then this change to the code:

echo ' <td class="key td-id-'.$letter.'" title="'.$_field['description'].'" >' . "\n";

Any thoughts on how to get this to work?

Thanks in advance!

The one thought that springs to mind is in the loop, have an incrementing counter and have an if statement determine if the row should be shown or not ... something like this:-



Obviously, change the numbers for the rows you don't wish to display and add/decrease the amount of 'and' conditions accordingly.

Thanks for the reply . . . but I don't know how to implement that to make it work . . .

OK well you've not posted enough code to show the actual loop but consider this example and perhaps you'll have a better understanding of where and how to use it?



OK, so the example above will give you an idea on the structure you have now. So now, let's use the same code above but with some modifications, we don't want to show all food items for example ... we know that they're in the array at positions 4,5,6,7, and 8 ...



As you can see, the table is created and happily skips over the "banned" row numbers.

Thanks again . . . I'll look into it and see if we can get it to work.

This was the original code:

echo ' <table class="adminForm user-details">' . "\n";
$_table = true;
}
echo ' <tr>' . "\n";
echo ' <td class="key" title="'.$_field['description'].'" >' . "\n";
echo ' <label class="' . $_field['name'] . '" for="' . $_field['name'] . '_field">' . "\n";
echo ' ' . $_field['title'] . ($_field['required'] ? ' *' : '') . "\n";
echo ' </label>' . "\n";
echo ' </td>' . "\n";
echo ' <td>' . "\n";
echo ' ' . $_field['formcode'] . "\n";
echo ' </td>' . "\n";
echo ' </tr>' . "\n";
}
}

if ($_table) {
echo ' </table><br>' . "\n";

CMYKreative, in the code you've copy/pasted, there are two "closing" curly braces but no "opening" ones so you're in a loop or a conditional statement already.
But regardless, I'm sure with a bit of digging, you'll be able to impliment something along the lines of my examples!
Good luck

Yes, I only snipped out the relevant area of the code . . . we'll give it a go and see what we can come up with.

The full code is here:

<?php


// Check to ensure this file is included in Joomla!
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');



$typefields = array('corefield', 'billto');
$corefields = VirtueMartModelUserfields::getCoreFields();
foreach ($typefields as $typefield) {
$_k = 0;
$_set = false;
$_table = false;
$_hiddenFields = '';

// for ($_i = 0, $_n = count($this->userFields['fields']); $_i < $_n; $_i++) {
for ($_i = 0, $_n = count($this->userFields['fields']); $_i < $_n; $_i++) {
// Do this at the start of the loop, since we're using 'continue' below!
if ($_i == 0) {
$_field = current($this->userFields['fields']);
} else {
$_field = next($this->userFields['fields']);
}

if ($_field['hidden'] == true) {
$_hiddenFields .= $_field['formcode'] . "\n";
continue;
}
if ($_field['type'] == 'delimiter') {
if ($_set) {
// We're in Fieldset. Close this one and start a new
if ($_table) {
echo ' </table>' . "\n";
$_table = false;
}
echo '</fieldset>' . "\n";
}
$_set = true;
echo '<fieldset>' . "\n";
echo ' <legend>' . "\n";
echo ' ' . $_field['title'];
echo ' </legend>' . "\n";
continue;
}



if (($typefield == 'corefield' && (in_array($_field['name'], $corefields) && $_field['name'] != 'email' && $_field['name'] != 'agreed') )
or ($typefield == 'billto' && !(in_array($_field['name'], $corefields) && $_field['name'] != 'email' && $_field['name'] != 'agreed') )) {
if (!$_table) {
// A table hasn't been opened as well. We need one here,
if ( $typefield == 'corefield') {
echo '<span class="userfields_info">' . $this->corefield_title . '</span>';
} else {
echo '<span class="userfields_info">' . $this->vmfield_title . '</span>';
}


echo ' <table class="adminForm user-details">' . "\n";
$_table = true;
}
echo ' <tr>' . "\n";
echo ' <td class="key" title="'.$_field['description'].'" >' . "\n";
echo ' <label class="' . $_field['name'] . '" for="' . $_field['name'] . '_field">' . "\n";
echo ' ' . $_field['title'] . ($_field['required'] ? ' *' : '') . "\n";
echo ' </label>' . "\n";
echo ' </td>' . "\n";
echo ' <td>' . "\n";
echo ' ' . $_field['formcode'] . "\n";
echo ' </td>' . "\n";
echo ' </tr>' . "\n";
}
}

if ($_table) {
echo ' </table><br>' . "\n";
}
if ($_set) {
echo '</fieldset>' . "\n";
}
$_k = 0;
$_set = false;
$_table = false;
$_hiddenFields = '';
if(is_array($this->userFields['fields'])) {
reset($this->userFields['fields']);
}

}

echo $_hiddenFields;

OK, I found a quick and easy solution:

echo ' <tr class="key td-id-' . $_field['name'] . '">' . "\n";

I just added the existing ' . $_field['name'] . ' code to the tr and I was then able to target this in the way I wanted.

Thanks for the help!
