Hello,

I have an online petition created using formbuilder and formbrowser which works a treat. I just wondered if it`s possible to have a little counter at the top of the page which will tell me how many petitions have been posted on the website?

Any thoughts would be greatly apreciated
Kind Regards
Sam

Hello sam_m

Create an UDT called read_entries

Code: Select all

// Maximum excepted entries
$entries_max = ($params[max]);

// Read entries in FormBrowser
global $gCms;
$list = $gCms->smarty->get_template_vars('list');
$entries = count($list);

// Complex Mathematical Calculation :o)
$entries_left = $entries_max - $entries;

// Passing the parameters to the template
$smarty = &$gCms->GetSmarty();
$smarty->assign('entries_max', $entries_max);
$smarty->assign('entries', $entries);
$smarty->assign('entries_left', $entries_left);

You can call this udt in a page like:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='FormBrowser' browser='your-name'}
{read_entries max='10'}

You can use the parameter max if you want to limit the entries. You probably don't need this.

In a template or page you can use these strings:
{$entries} = Total entries in the database
{$entries_left} = Allowed entries left
{$entries_max} = Maximum entries allowed.

Hope this helps,

Rolf
