Item Manager Extended (Beta)

[Bigin]

Check your image field name in register. I could see that your field name is just image, why do you use loop-thumb-1 in register?

PHP Code:

$manager->runModelMethod('gen_register', array('loop-thumb-1', 'sequence')); 


You cannot simply copy my components and paste them into your project. The component parameter need to be adjusted first.

Here is a simple usage example:

I see that you are using 3 custom fields: description, image and sequence.
Your list_page_generator component could then look like this, for example (step by step):

Create controller instance:

PHP Code:

$manager = new ImController(); 


Register category:

PHP Code:

ImCategory::setCategory('Stores'); 


Define any number of elements per page:

PHP Code:

ImModel::setPref('itemsperpage', 10); 


This is the sort field, how items are displayed on the list page (1, 2, 3, ...):

PHP Code:

ImModel::setPref('sortby', 'sequence'); 


You can put a slug for details page here, for example:

PHP Code:

// ImModel::setPref('page', 'item-manager-details-page'); 


Your custom fields (description, image, sequence) are registered here:

PHP Code:

$manager->runModelMethod('gen_register', array('description', 'image', 'sequence')); 


The method returns the item data object. For example, you could use var_dump($items) PHP-function to display what it contains:

PHP Code:

$items = $manager->getModelValue('items_ordered_struct'); 


The method returns the page data array to generate your pages:

PHP Code:

$pagedata = $manager->getModelValue('pagedata'); 


Next, you should create your templates HTML structure. There are two options: Either you create a template file and pass the path as parameter to register script, or script gets a template as a string. I use the second option for my example.
Template containing the HTML for the regular row items (image and title are placeholder for your custom fields):

PHP Code:

$rowTpl = '
        <div class="itemrow">
        <p><img alt="" class="mypic" src="[[ image ]]" /></p>
        <p>[[ title ]]</p>
    </div>
'; 


Wrapper template containing your row template above and pagination:

PHP Code:

$wrapperTpl = '<div id="my_wrapper">[[ row_tpl ]][[ paginator ]]</div>'; 


Register your templates now:

PHP Code:

$manager->tplRegister(array('row_tpl' => $rowTpl, 'wrapper_tpl' => $wrapperTpl)); 


You must loop through the items now and replace the template placeholders with the current item values:

PHP Code:

$rows = '';
foreach($pagedata['itemkeys'] as $key)
{
    // Renders placeholders in row template
    $rows .= $manager->paint('row_tpl', 
        array('image' => $items[$key]['image'],
                'title' => $items[$key]['title']
        )
    );
} 


If you want to split items across several pages, for instance, with 'Previous/Next' links:

PHP Code:

echo $manager->paint('wrapper_tpl', array('row_tpl' => $rows,
        'paginator' => $manager->paginator(ImModel::getTplKit('paginator'))));
