Table of contents
The #FOREACH tag is used to "loop" through a content equivalent to a table array calculated within the template file, by applying a SPIP model to each of its member elements.
#FOREACH{tag, model}
Examples
- Within any template, using #FOREACH{env} will display all the variables of the #ENV tag as shown below:
- page=> test_loop
- date=> 2009-12-22 22:44:27
- date_default=> 1
- date_redac=> 2009-12-22 22:44:27
- date_redac_default=> 1
In other words, for each element in the associative PHP table that is presented by the #ENV tag, #FOREACH will apply the model file called foreach.html (cf. further below).
- We can likewise display the contents of another tag, e.g. #CONFIG. For this tag, we pass the name of the tag as the first parameter:
#FOREACH{config} will then display something like:
- charset_sql_base=> utf8
- charset_collation_sql_base=> utf8_general_ci
- charset_sql_connexion=> utf8
- version_installee=> 14558
- nouvelle_install=> 1
- plugin=>
a:3:{s:3:"CFG";a:4:{s:3:"nom";s:90:"<multi> [fr]cfg: moteur de configuration [de]cfg: Konfigurationsmotor </multi>";s:4:"etat";s:6:"stable";s:3:"dir";s:8:"auto/cfg";s:7:"version";s:6:"1.14.1";}} - derniere_modif_rubrique=> 1260746188
- ...=> ...
And for any SPIP tag that returns a PHP table, we will see a somewhat similar kind of result (see #ARRAY).
Creating a dedicated model
The foreach.html model is the one applied by default to such "loops". It is found in the squelettes-dist/modeles/ directory. It is possible to modify it directly, but you can also crete a special model for a tag and store it in its own squelettes/modeles/ folder.
The foreach_tag.html model corresponds to any #FOREACH{tag} usage.
We can also maybe hope to create generalised models and use them for a variety of tags.
For example, for unnumbered lists we could have a model called squelettes/modeles/foreach_ul_li.html which would contain: <li><a href="#ENV{valeur}">#ENV{cle}</a></li> and would be called by [<ul>(#FOREACH{ENV, foreach_ul_li})</ul>], thereby generating the following HTML source code:
<ul>
<li><a href="test_loop">page</a></li>
<li><a href="2009-12-22 22:54:40">date</a></li>
<li><a href="1">date_default</a></li>
<li><a href="2009-12-22 22:54:40">date_redac</a></li>
<li><a href="1">date_redac_default</a></li>
</ul>More values
Finally, for more complex cases, we can pass more values to the model by respecting the structure of the following table for the tag that you have designed:
and by supplying a suitably modified model:
#ENV{val1}, #ENV{val2}, #ENV{val3} and #ENV{val4}
