Hi,

I want to make a selectbox in the control panel where you can switch to an other artist profile.
e.g: If i select "Artist A" in the selectbox It will switch direct to their 'control panel'.

Now you can only switch artist profiles via: Artists -> Select Artist -> choose artist -> select.

I want to make it easier for power users and users with multiple artists accounts by creating a selectbox in the header of their cp where they can select the active artist profile.

But, I don't know where to start. Which functions and variables do I need etc?
How can I use the selectbox html code with the if/else statements etc.

After some research on the web:

Code

{html_options name=switch options=$userArtists selected=$userArtist}

Code

<?php $smarty->assign('userArtists', array(                                 Artist ID? => '$BAND_NAME',                                 Artist ID? => '$BAND_NAME',                                 Artist ID? => '$BAND_NAME')                                 ); $smarty->assign('userArtist', Artist ID?); ?>

Not sure what 'Artist ID?' needs to be and if the $BAND_NAME is correct.

If it was me, i wouldnt be using that {html_options becasue i dont know what it does. it might be perfect, but i've never used it.

I would do something like this in the templates:

Code

{apModuleName_util mode="get_allowed_bands" assign="ALLOWED_BANDS"}                             <select size="10" name="change_band_id">                             {foreach from=$ALLOWED_BANDS item="_b"}                                 <option value="{$_b.band_id}">{$_b.band_name}</option>                             {/foreach}                             </select>

then in the module smarty custom function do somthing like this

Code

function smarty_function_apModuleName_util($params, &$smarty) {     global $_user, $jamroom_db;     switch ($params['mode']) {         /**          * get_allowed_bands() is used to get all the bands that this user is allowed to change to.          */         case'get_allowed_bands':             $sql  = "SELECT *                       FROM {$jamroom_db['band_info']} ";             $rows = dbQuery($sql, 'NUMERIC');             $smarty->assign($params['assign'], $rows);             break;     } }

then just change the get_allowed_bands function to return only the bands that this $_user is allowed to access and you should be good.

Thanks for your reply!

I'll take a look a it today.

The html_options smarty functions will have this output:

Code

<select name="switch"> <option label="Band name" value="Artist ID?">Band name</option> <option label="Band name" value="Artist ID?">Band name</option> <option label="Band name" value="Artist ID?">Band name</option> </select>
