I'm developing a Joomla 3.x.x module which connects through to a components table in the database.
I have got the following code in the helper.php which outputs the variables successfully:
public static function renderElement($table_name, $field_name, $field_value) {
$result = '';
switch ($table_name) {
case '#__competition_data':
switch($field_name){
case 'id':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'title':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'introtext':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'maintext':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'image':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'question':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'correct_answer':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'false_answer1':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'false_answer2':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'closing_date':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'terms':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'additional_info':
$result = $field_value;
break;
case 'created_by':
$user = JFactory::getUser($field_value);
$result = $user->name;
break;
}
return $result;
}
The frontend php file then outputs the above using the following:
<div class="span8"><?php echo ModCompetitionHelper::renderElement($params->get('item_table'), $field_name, $field_value); ?></div>
But they are outputted as different DIV's, one of them is an image so I want to be able to control what they are outputted as.
Ideally something along the lines of:
case '#__competition_data':
switch($field_name){
case 'id':
$result = $field_value_id;
break;
I can't work out how to do it though, any ideas please?
Thanks!
