Plugin question

[Tim Camara]

The code you had before was close, you just needed to loop through the items in your blocks array instead of accessing them directly.

Tim please treat me like a noob.
Could you explain where I'm putting the blocks in my code and where to start the loop?
Can I put the code in the main footer like I had it?
Thanks

[Tim Camara]

Literally take the code you had before, the line where you tried to access $[plugin.whatever.somevariable.blocks.somename] and replace it with a simple {foreach $[plugin.whatever.somevariable.blocks.somename]}$[plugin.whatever.somevariable.blocks.somename]{/foreach} type thing. I can't give you any specifics without seeing the actual code.

i'm gonna attempt to explain this based on my easy affiliate plugin

my auto forms variable ID is "affiliates"


and each affiliate code is "affiliate_code"



now on the components page on the right you'll notice "affiliates" and "affiliates.affiliate_code"

you want to do a "foreach" statement to loop through the autoform:

{foreach $[plugin.settings.affiliates]}
stuff to be repeated (explained next)
{/foreach}


inside the "foreach" statement you want to put the variable for the "affiliate_code" element

{foreach $[plugin.settings.affiliates]}
$[plugin.settings.affiliates.affiliate_code]
{/foreach}

now the "foreach" will automatically output whatever was entered in the autoforms "affiliate_code" inputs.

let me know you get that much. i'll help you more if i can.

Richie,I set it up but will not except any url I put in.
I used this:
<a href="http://healthsense.proboards.com"><img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/94761670/mini.png"/img></a>
Edit: never mind I figured it out.
How do you get two tables side by side? I have the affiliate table and the admin affiliate table but I can't seem to get them side by side.
any suggestions?

It might be a good idea to wait to undertake such a large coding task for when you understand coding a bit more. Maybe utilize codeacademy.com and learn some more about what you're using. Or looking into one of the other Affiliate Plugins already made orrr just not using a plugin since you have a basic header/footer code and can easily do this without a plugin. Or maybe just posting this in Plugin Development since that is what this has become..
