Select dropdown/multiselected drop down item(s) function

[Sim]

Here's a function i use to select drop down or multiselected drop downs. That other devs may find useful. I monthly use it in ACP for crying new entries amd editing entries.

//first parameter is data being stored in combo/multiselected

//second paramater is the data that was selected

Both paramaters are arrays so if data not being parsed is not an array, you can cast as an array as shown in example below. But as seen, the data passed must use the ids keys id and name, but can easily be changed

public function getSelectedListBoxData($listArray, $selDataArray = '')
  {
    
    if(empty($selDataArray))
    {
      return $listArray;
    }
    
    $Data = array();
    
    foreach($listArray as $item)
    {
      $sel = "";
    
      if(in_array($item['id'], $selDataArray))
      {
        $sel = "selected";
      }
      
      $Data[] = array(
            "id" => $item['id'],
            "name" => $item['name'],
            "selected" => $sel
      );
    }

    return $Data;
  }

 

Use:

TPL:

<div class="col-md-3">
    <div class="form-group">
       <label class="pull-left">Reward Item?</label>
        <select class="form-control" name="itemID">
        <option value="0">None</option> 
        {#each items}
        <option value="{id}" {selected}>{name}</option>
        {/each}
        </select>
    </div>
</div>

PHP:

//on submitting form data
$crime['itemID'] = $this->helper->getSelectedListBoxData($this->helper->getItemType(), $this->methodData->itemID);
//submitting form data EDIT
$crime = $this->getCrime($this->methodData->id);
$crime['itemType'] = $this->getSelectedListBoxData($this->helper->getItems() , (array)$crime["itemID"]);

Is that the weirdest typo ever or am i missing something?

Edit: i posted this in wrong thread. Should have went in GL thread: @Dayo @Dave @Magictallguy

You may want to look at the data-value attribute that i added to the ACP i know having to rely on JS isnt great but im lazy 😛

 

check this out: https://github.com/ChristopherDay/Gangster-Legends-V2/commit/16523c84a05be9e527f1ef16492fe089dc0ad697#diff-d1ef260dd29f18ce2583194d431fbad8e5f84b3b649c404bb08ba6098f1abbca

Im just as lazy. How i read these commits? Can you explain the colors to me? 

And i can never seem to download the new source from github so i always rely on the MWG marketplace to download GL.

Light Red = code removed

Dark Red = code replaced

Light Green = code added

Dark Green = code replaced with

If you are not familiar with the command-line and git, I would highly recommend you take a day or so to learn:

• https://git-scm.com/
• https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone (download code)
• https://git-scm.com/docs/git-add (add code to current working branch)
• https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit (commit code to current working branch)
• https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push (push committed code on current working branch to a remote repository)
• (there's a lot more including merging, rebasing, cherrypicking, tagging, branching)
• There's a lot of different branching models but this is a good starter read: https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

To add onto sniko's post; if CLI scares you, I'd recommend a Git GUI, such as SourceTree or GitKraken*;
Or, if you're using an editor that support Git out-of-the-box such as PhpStorm**, or an editor that supports plugins (e.g., Atom, SublimeText 3, etc.), just use that!


*Note: GitKraken is free for public repos. They put accessing private repos behind a paywall.
**Note: PhpStorm has a 30-day free trial, but is otherwise paid software (would strongly recommend it)

Thanks @sniko & MTG
