I have a foreach in my controller - method:
foreach ($unanswered_questions as $un_questions) {
//get asker_id and asked_id details
$un_questions->asker = $this->get_user_details($un_questions->asker_id); // where asker_id can be 0 or any user id
}
In my_controller i have this function
public function get_user_details($user_id)
{
$user = new stdClass();
switch ($user_id) {
//if anonimous
case 0:
$user->?????? = $this->lang->line('anonymous'); //Result Anonymous text
$user->profile_picture = 'assets/images/default50.jpg';
break;
default:
$user = $this->users->select_details_by_id($user_id); // would get $user->first_name, $user->last_name, $user->username from database (columns)
$user->profile_picture = $this->images->get_profile_image($user_id);
break;
}
return $user;
}
So how can I set data to display correctly in view?
I need that anonymous to be shown without link and if is not anonymous to show the username with link.
Also in view I have some elements that would be available only for users and not for anonymous. If my question is not clear please ask me for more details.
I assume in the default: case $user is being set to an object containing all the column names from a database table. So you need to make it look the same as that in your case 0: case.
So you need to do something like this
public function get_user_details($user_id)
{
$user = new stdClass();
switch ($user_id) {
//if anonimous
case 0:
$user = new stdClass();
// make sure ->name matches the actual column name
// that would have been generated from the table
$user->name = $this->lang->line('anonymous');
// also add any other properties that may be required in your view
// with some default data.
$user->profile_picture = 'assets/images/default50.jpg';
$user->view_type = 1;
break;
default:
$user = $this->users->select_details_by_id($user_id); // would get $user->first_name, $user->last_name, $user->username from database
$user->profile_picture = $this->images->get_profile_image($user_id);
$user->view_type = 0;
break;
}
return $user;
}
So showing the right data in the view would be a simple case of testing the new property $user->view_type in the view.
// in controller
$data['title'] = 'A Title`;
$data['user'] = $user;
$this->load->view('myview', $data);
// myview
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title;?></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if ( $user->view_type = 0 ) :
// show with line
else:
// show without line
emdif;
?>
</body>
</html>
