Add Showcase count to Slider, need a little help

You are using $user when you need to be using $item. The $item array contains all of the "user" data for the owner of that specific item.

Code:

                <xen:if is="{$item.showcase_count}">
                    <dl class="pairsJustified">
                        <dt>Showcase Items:</dt>
                        <dd><a href="{xen:link 'showcase/member', $item}" class="concealed">{$item.showcase_count}</a></dd>
                    </dl>
                </xen:if>

 

There is no $user variable. $variables have to be generated by the specific action with in a specific controller and then passed into the view for use within a template. In the sliders case, the variable $items (Plural) is being passed in which contains ALL the data for ALL the Items for the slider. I loop through the $items array which sets a TEMP array called $item that contains that specific items worth of data, it then outputs its display and the loop generates the next $item and so on until the loop has gone through all of the $items.

As for the LINK, it doesn't even need "user data". This specific route only requires the user_id of the owner of the showcase item (which is always in the $item variable as its part of the item record). Try it without the tick marks.

Code:

{xen:link showcase/member, $item}

 

outstanding! Was hoping it was something simple like ' marks lol have a great day
