Annoying Problem

Colin · July 29, 2012

Hi again ,

I've tried to skin 2 sites and an annoying problem exists when trying to skin the pilot_list.tpl, the pilot list duplicates the skin over and over again for each hub that has been added, I've had to do a half arsed job at skinning both pilot lists due to this problem, Coincidently both sites are through one.com (not a free host), not sure if this would be a factor but when I skinned another site which was through 1&1 this problem didn't exist and I could skin the site however I wanted which is why I mention it.

I've attached a screenshot. I've just been in touch with one.com who was no help what so ever.,

If anyone can help me fix this it would be very much appreciated as it has been driving me mad for days !

As always any help appreciated

Scott · July 29, 2012

Can you put your code up on here so I can take a look please?

The reason it replicates the theme multiple times, is the system puts the table through a foreach loop, which displays the seperate rosters for each hub, you will have to merge them all into one roster, that is how to fix that problem.

Colin · July 30, 2012

Would you be able to tell me how to merge them into one roster please

Jeff · July 30, 2012

The way I have mine setup is that you must be logged in to view the page (code can be removed to have public access).

It also shows if the pilot has a Skype account, that it shows if they are online (on Skype) at the moment (can also be removed).

You can change the colors to match your site.

<?php
if(Auth::LoggedIn() == false)
{
echo 'You have found a restricted area. You must log in as a pilot in order to view!';
return;
}
?>
<h3><?php echo $title?></h3>
<?php
if(!$allpilots)
{
echo 'There are no pilots!';
return;
}
?>
<table id="tabledlist" class="tablesorter">
<thead>
<tr>
<th width="10%">Pilot ID</th>
<th width="35%">Name</th>
<th width="15%">Rank</th>
<th width="20%">Flights</th>
<th width="20%">Hours</th>
<th width="30%">Skype</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
foreach($allpilots as $pilot)
{
/*

<?php echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID'); ?>

echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'IVAO Callsign');
*/

// To skip a retired pilot, uncomment the next line:
//if($pilot->retired == 1) { continue; }
?>
<tr>
<td width="20px" nowrap><a href="<?php echo url('/profile/view/'.$pilot->pilotid);?>">

<img src="<?php echo Countries::getCountryImage($pilot->location);?>"
alt="<?php echo Countries::getCountryName($pilot->location);?>" title="<?php echo Countries::getCountryName($pilot->location);?>" />

<?php echo $pilot->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname?> </td>
<td width="15%"><img src="<?php echo $pilot->rankimage?>" alt="<?php echo $pilot->rank;?>" title="<?php echo $pilot->rank;?>" /></td>
<td width="20%"><?php echo $pilot->totalflights?></td>
<td width="20%"><?php echo Util::AddTime($pilot->totalhours, $pilot->transferhours); ?></td>

if( $fieldvalue != '' )
