Missing field(s) in Cat-eLog species view...

[MatsP]

I don't know how many fields are missing, but definitely the "distribution" is missing. [But only on certain fishes - perhaps only those that don't have temp/pH?]

Example:

Hypancistrus inspector

Example showing distribution:

Hypancistrus zebra

Fixed.

I tidied up the page so that it doesn't output subsection title bars if no information exists for any field in that group. Just got it a little wrong...

That's the kind of thing I thought it was...

A thought: Since you probably do an if for each of the lines in each section, could you do something like this...:

Code: Select all

... Some section of Cat-eLog page ... 
$html = "";
if ($row["something"] != "")
   $html .= "..." . $row["something"] . "...";
if ($row["otherthing"] != "")
   $html .= "..." . $row["otherthing"] . "...";
...
if ($html != "") {
   echo "... Section header ... ";
   echo $html;
   echo "... Section footer ... ";
}

That way you don't need to have a long set of checks to see if you need the header, only to check the same thing again when you get to outputting each field... Just a thought of course...

Jools, are you sure that you updated the Cat-eLog species page correctly? Because it seems like it's still not working... I just looked at Megalonem platanum, and it's not showing it's dsitribution, but if I look at the data in the database, it's there...

It's fixed, here's the kind of code we're using....

Code: Select all

if ($species_row["min_ph"] > 0 || $species_row["min_temp"] > 0 || $species_row["water"] != "" || $species_row["distribution"] != "")

... basically, you only get a header if any one of the fields that belong to that group have a value.
