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

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:

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.
