Siniša Šehović	Monday 03 January 2005 6:04:04 am Hi all I have one problem! Don't know how to filter data in custom template by url varible. This is what I want to do. I have, in my template, links with letters A B C D E ... and when user klick on letter, page is reloaded. Now when the page is reloaded I need to filter fetched data with letter that user klicked. I am getting klicked letter with {$view_parameters.var_name} but don't know how to filter fetch data! Is it posslible to do that with fetch or I have to use search? Please help! Best regards, S. --- If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

Siniša Šehović	Tuesday 04 January 2005 5:17:03 am Hi Lazaro Thanks for quick reply! Letters on top of my template (page) are like menu, simple array of letters. They don't belong to any class. I have managed to fetch data (filter data) by selecting appropriate letter. Now I have another problem. Is it possible to have in template something like if-then-else but on template level? I know that there is a switch but it is only for display data. To be more cleared: If I click on letter "A" template will fetch filtered data with attribute_filter A and if I click on "B" template will fetch filtered data with attribute_filter B!? Something like: if var="A" then filter_set=something else filter_set=something_else Best regards, S. --- If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.
Lazaro Ferreira	Tuesday 04 January 2005 7:24:46 am Hi, AFAIK, you can use the switch or the section-else statement, i.e: {switch match=$view_parameters.var_name} {case match='A'} {set filter_data="Case A"} {/case} {case match='B'} {set filter_data="Case B"} {/case} {/switch} Case you need it, you can also nest the switch in a section loop, to achieve something like a php construct : for(){ switch(){ } } Lazaro http://www.mzbusiness.com
