List of titles for the links

Hi,

in the categories page I only need to place the list of titles for the links.
These lists must fulfill 2 conditions:

1.- only list links higher than ID = 20000
2.- if the list has less than 10 links, it should not appear

For the first condition, it works fine the following way:

-------------------------------
<%if ID > 20000%>
<div id="l<%ID%>">

<%if highlight%><%Links::Tools::highlight($Title, $query)%><%else%><%Title%><%endif%></font><%if isValidated eq 'Yes'%><%if detailed_url or URL ne 'http://'%><%endif%><%endif%>

</div>
<%endif%>
-------------------------------

How can I make it so that the list will only appear if will show at least 10 links?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Try:

Code:
<%if links_loop.length >= 10%> 
  <%loop links_loop%>
    <%if ID > 20000%> 
      <div id="l<%ID%>"> 
        <%if highlight%><%Links::Tools::highlight($Title, $query)%><%else%><%Title%><%endif%></font><%if isValidated eq 'Yes'%><%if detailed_url or URL ne http://'%><%endif%><%endif%> 
     </div> 
    <%endif%> 
  <%endloop%>  
<%endif%>

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the quick answer. Your suggestion works fine when there are less than 10 links on the page.

But it is not exactly what I am looking for.

I will try to sound clearer through an example:

I would like for the list of titles not to appear when 10 should appear but, for example, 7 have an ID greater than 20000 and 3 have a lower one. (or 5 links > 20000 and 5 links < 20000 or 2 links > 20000 and 8 links < 20000 or ...) Both conditions should act at the same time.

Again, thanks a lot.

Re: [JoseML] List of titles for the links In reply to

You need to first loop over the links to check to see if the first condition is satisfied. Probably something like:

Code:
<%~set enough_links = 0%> 
<%~if links_loop.length >= 10%> 
  <%~set count = 0%> 
  <%~loop links_loop%> 
    <%~if ID > 20000%> 
      <%~set count += 1%> 
      <%~if count >= 10%> 
        <%~set enough_links = 1%> 
        <%~lastloop%> 
      <%~endif%> 
    <%~endif%> 
  <%~endloop%> 
<%~endif%> 

<%~if enough_links%> 
  <%~loop links_loop%> 
    <%~if ID > 20000%> 
... 
    <%~endif%> 
  <%~endloop%> 
<%~endif%>

Hi Adrian,

thanks for the concern, but I have tried your suggestion and it didn´t work...

I will keep trying.

Could you tell me what this is for? ---> <%~set enough_links = 0%> and <%~if enough_links%>

Thanks.

Regards,

Re: [JoseML] List of titles for the links In reply to

It first loops over the links_loop to count how many links match your requirement of having an ID of greater than 20000.

I guess it could actually be simplified to:

Code:
<%~set matching_links = 0%> 
<%~if links_loop.length >= 10%> 
  <%~loop links_loop%> 
    <%~if ID > 20000%> 
      <%~set matching_links += 1%> 
      <%~if matching_links >= 10%> 
        <%~lastloop%> 
      <%~endif%> 
    <%~endif%> 
  <%~endloop%> 
<%~endif%> 

<%~if matching_links >= 10%> 
  <%~loop links_loop%> 
    <%~if ID > 20000%> 
... 
    <%~endif%> 
  <%~endloop%> 
<%~endif%>
