[Tuturial]Show all countries,regions and cities in sidebar

[joeyv]

FYI - I am new to PHP and figuring this out as I go.

Can someone help me out on pasting the exact code I need to add to on the Main.php for the latest Bender theme? I'd like to just have the U.S. regions show up from Alabama all the way down to Wyoming - similar to my screenshot sample.

I just grabbed the code chunk that is for the Locations. Here is what I have from oc-content/themes/bender

line 71 - 87

--------------------------

</div><!-- main -->
<div id="sidebar">
    <div class="widget-box">
        <?php if(osc_count_list_regions() > 0 ) { ?>
        <div class="box location">
            <h3><strong><?php _e("Location", 'bender') ; ?></strong></h3>
            <ul>
            <?php while(osc_has_list_regions() ) { ?>
                <li><a href="<?php echo osc_list_region_url(); ?>"><?php echo osc_list_region_name() ; ?> <em>(<?php echo osc_list_region_items() ; ?>)</em></a></li>
            <?php } ?>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <?php } ?>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="clear"><!-- do not close, use main clossing tag for this case -->
<?php osc_current_web_theme_path('footer.php') ; ?>


--------------------------

Hi all how we can assign a selected region name to a php variable?

[abatahir]

hi,
If i select a region or city how to apply that search on main page.. just like apply a filter on main page

[maxeem]

it is possible with Ajax

Code: [Select]

<h3><strong><?php _e("Region", 'modern') ; ?></strong></h3>
<ul>
                        <?php while(osc_has_list_regions() ) { ?>
                            <li><a href="<?php echo osc_list_region_url() ; ?>"><?php echo osc_list_region_name() ; ?></a> <em>(<?php echo osc_list_region_items() ; ?>)</em></li>
                        <?php } ?>
                        </ul>

Hi
i am trying to use this code to show country with regions on the sidebar:

Code: [Select]

<?php View::newInstance()->_exportVariableToView('list_regions', Search::newInstance()->listRegions('US', '>=', 'region_name ASC') ) ; ?>
                        <?php if(osc_count_list_regions() > 0) {?>
                        <div class="box location">
                            <h3><strong><?php _e("Maqedonia", 'modern'); ?></strong></h3>
                            <ul>
                            <?php while(osc_has_list_regions()) { ?>
                                <li><a href="<?php echo osc_search_url(array('sRegion' => osc_list_region_name()));?>"><?php echo osc_list_region_name();?></a> <em>(<?php echo osc_list_region_items();?>)</em></li>
                            <?php } ?>
                            </ul>
                        </div>
                        <?php } ?>
It works perfect for showing the regions for the given country on the sidebar.

But my problem is that i have 3 countries and want to show regions for all 3 countries on the sidebar separated from each other.

When i put the code 3 times it still only show the country and region from the first code.

How can i use this code so i can show region from the 3 countries separated?

Hi,

Easy, just repeat that block two more times, just changing:

Code: [Select]

<?php View::newInstance()->_exportVariableToView('list_regions', Search::newInstance()->listRegions('US', '>=', 'region_name ASC') ) ; ?>
Replace each time 'US' with a new country code (anyway, I guess you don't really have "US" there to show Macedonia).

It's because i have copied the code from here from a reply and since it was the thirt time i copied the code i never mannaged to change US on this one.

But i have changed the other to the slug that the country has in my location settings.  But it does not show the regions from the country i have written to show.

[teseo]

It should work. The only explanation I could think of is that you're not using the correct ISO country codes (2-letter):

Yeah. I was mistaking the letter v and w. So it is fine and working now . Just have to wait someone to post a listing on my site so it can show.. hehe
Since it's a new site.

How to I make these show as two columns in the div(s)?

http://dancameron.org/code/splitting-content-into-two-columns-e-g-word-wrap-with-php-or-css-javascript/  (second solution)
gives me an idea but I'm not very good with CSS.  I would need the two divs to look like they're on box with location spanning both divs

div
{
column-count:2;
column-gap:40px;
}

I've been attempting to include a CITY link with each item in the grid view that end users could click to see only items from that city (like I've also done with the categories )... I've tried the following helpers:

osc_city_url()
osc_item_city()

But I'm probably missing something simple and have been unsuccessful. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I'm using this for the category link..

Code: [Select]

<a href="<?php echo tf_osc_item_category_url(osc_item_category_id()) ; ?>"><?php echo osc_item_category() ; ?></a>

[thedaigle]

Hm. Or actually how could I link to search list of only items in that category & city instead of simple city listings link... ?

Thanks in advance.
