When loading the data for a table, it is quite likely your module will be loading data from the database for display. This example shows the appropriate place to insert the code and a simple method for filling your data arrays with the loaded information. This code loads the information for the table from example 1 from a database table.
Example: view page
Code:
<?php
function tapirtest_menu($may_cache) {
if ($may_cache) {
$items[] = array(
'path' => 'tapirtest/example_5',
'title' => t('Example 5: Load Table Data from the Database'),
'callback' => 'tapirtest_example_5',
'access' => user_access('access content'),
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
);
}
return $items;
}
function tapirtest_example_5() {
$output = '<p>'. tapir_get_table('tapirtest_example_table_5', $null) .'</p>';
return $output;
}
function tapirtest_example_table_5 ($op) {
switch ($op) {
case 'fields':
$fields[] = array('name' => 'song', 'title' => t('Song'), 'weight' => 0, 'enabled' => TRUE);
$fields[] = array('name' => 'artist', 'title' => t('Artist'), 'weight' => 1,
'enabled' => TRUE);
$fields[] = array('name' => 'album', 'title' => t('Album'), 'weight' => 2,
'enabled' => TRUE);
return $fields;
case 'data':
$result = db_query("SELECT song, artist, album FROM {tapirtest_example_5}");
while ($row = db_fetch_object($result)) {
$data['song'][] = $row->song;
$data['artist'][] = $row->artist;
$data['album'][] = $row->album;
}
return $data;
}
}
?>
