Cant add/get value from $context

[Klajdi]

So, I got a value from database using the code below (Display.template.php):

Code Select Expand

  $query = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
    SELECT subid
    FROM {db_prefix}membergroups
    WHERE group_name = {string:current_groupname}',
array(
'member' => (int) $context['user']['id'],
'current_groupname' => $message['member']['group'],
)
);

$row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($query);

  $smcFunc['db_free_result']($query);
 
  $context['member']['subid'] = $row['subid'];
And when I use it on the same file arund line 270-286:

Code Select Expand

<li class="membergroup" data-memberID="', $message['member']['id'], '">', $context['member']['subid'], " SPACE ", $message['member']['group'], '</li>';

but whenever I use $context['member']['subid'] in Subs-SimpleColorizer.php it doesnt work.
It gives me HTTP ERROR 500
using 2.0.12

If that query is ran in the template file. Probably won't work.
Templates are executed after the sources/ folder files.

also, remember, the content of the $context array is fluid and what is loaded for one page may not be there for another page.

And yes... as vbgamer says, but more specifically database queries should never be run in template files.

I deleted it from Display.template.php but when I add it to Subs-SimpleColorizer.php page still wont load, or gives HTTP ERROR 500

Probably because  $message['member']['group'] is not defined in that context...

[Klajdi]

Probably because  $message['member']['group'] is not defined in that context...

Hmm, im not sure where $message is defined.

[Kindred]

again...  it really depends on where it's being display and used

You don't seem to understand that the "same" variable name can be used with different content, depending on where it is defined and how it is used.

As I said, $context is regularly reloaded and overwritten by new data, depending on the page that it's being used on...

maybe Display.php...   maybe Subs-MessageIndex.php

but simplecolorizer edits mod than the display of messages.

[Klajdi]

Ok, so, im a bit confused, where is $message['member']['group'] defined?
And how do I define it, so I can use it on simplecolorizer?

[Klajdi]

Any way to replace $message['member']['group'] with sth else?

Any way I can get 'subid' for each member?

[Klajdi]

So, i managed to create "$memberContext[$message['id_member']]['subid_show']" and seems to work good. Is there any way I can use this in Sub-Simplecolorizer.php?

It is actually defined in the while statement in the display template. This data doesn't have a long TTL as it is done this way for memory reasons.

What happens is the query is created in the display sources and when the template is called it loads the defined function and the query is executed.

I believe if memory serves me right, this is the only area in SMF the query is actually made while in a template. May be the reason your having trouble with it.

I managed to add it in the "$memberContext[$message['id_member']]['subid_show']", I want to know how to use it Sub-Simplecolorizer.php

[Klajdi]

Ok, as I mentioned I managed to get the subid value from database, making some modifications in Load.php file.
I managed to sucessfully echo (and use) the value in Display.php

Code Select Expand

$memberContext[$message['id_member']]['subid']
or in Display.template.php

Code Select Expand

$message['member']['subid']

Managed to fix most errors in error log (except one which ill be adding below)
I sucessfully managed to get the value:

Code Select Expand

$memberContext[$message['id_member']]['subid']
but a bit differently:

Code Select Expand


loadMemberData($user_id);
loadMemberContext($user_id);
$memberContext[$user_id]['subid_show']

Now I'm getting a fairly odd error:

And the odd thing is that there are only 191 lines in that file.

see the "eval" at the end...   that means that the error is not actually occuring in that file - it's just triggered in that file.

Turn off template eval in your admin > server settings
