[table name=...&fields=,,...,]<fieldname
1>,<fieldname 2>,…,<fieldname n>[/table]
Enables the WebDNA programmer to quickly create a temporary 'in line'
database table that is local to the template and not part of the global
database cache. A table can be used in any context that accepts a database
'db' as a parameter.
Optional Tag Parameters:
· name - A user assigned name used to reference the table
during the duration of the template.
· fields - A comma delimited, ordered, list of
fieldnames to be used for the table.
Search a Table
Lets create a table and perform a basic search on it.
We use the following code...
[table name=products&fields=SKU,NAME,DESC]
1001 Red Widget A small red widget
1002 Blue Widget A small blue widget
1003 Green Widget A small green widget
[/table]
[search table=products&neSKUdata=[blank]]
Found [numfound] items in the products table.
[founditems]
[SKU] - [DESC]
[/founditems]
[/search]
Results....
Found 3 items in the products table.
1001 - A small red widget
1002 - A small blue widget
1003 - A small green widget
A table can be very useful if you want to perform a secondary search
on the results of a previous search.
Examples with ConvertChars/Words
You can use a table to quick create a table to be use with the ConvertChars,
and ConvertWords contexts
[table name=t1&fields=from,to]
a A
b B
c C
[/table]
[table name=t2&fields=from,to]
webdna WebDNA
tables Tables
smsi SMSI
[/table]
[convertchars table=t1]abc[/convertchars]
[convertwords table=t2]webdna tables, brought to you by smsi![/convertwords]
Results...
ABC
WebDNA Tables, brought to you by SMSI!
Example with ListFiles
Tables are also very useful for sorting/searching the results of other
'iterative' WebDNA contexts. For example, lets sort the results of a [listfiles]
context...
[table name=filesort&fields=filename,size,date][!]
[/!][listfiles path=.]
[filename] [size] [createdate]
[/listfiles][/table]
Directory listing - sorted by filename
[search table=filesort&neFILENAMEdata=[blank]&asFILENAMEsort=1]
[founditems]
[filename] - [size] - [date]
[/founditems]
[/search]
Directory listing - sorted by file size
[search table=filesort&neFILENAMEdata=[blank]&asSIZEsort=1&SIZEtype=num]
[founditems]
[filename] - [size] - [date]
[/founditems]
[/search]
Results...
Directory listing - sorted by filename

Note that we had to comment out some line endings. This is because the
WebDNA that is parsed between the [table] tags must evaluate to a list
of 'records', with the 'fields' delimited by tabs and each 'record' ending
with a line ending (<cr><lf> or <lf> or <cr>).
In other words, exactly the same format as a WebDNA database.
Lets combine this with a webdna [function] context to list all files in
a folder, and its sub-folders.
The new WebDNA [function] context is described in the 'Function Context'
tutorial.
Here is the code...
<![CDATA[
[function name=get_files]
[listfiles path=[in_path]]
[!]IF this is a folder, recurse into the folder[/!]
[showif [IsFolder]=T]
[return][depth] <b>[filename]</b> T
[get_files root=F&in_path=[hideif [root]=TT][in_path]/[/hideif][filename]&depth=[math][depth]+1[/math]][/return]
[/showif]
[hideif [IsFolder]=T]
[return][depth] [filename] F
[/return][/hideif]
[/listfiles][/function]
[table name=file_tree_table&fields=depth,name,isfolder]
[get_files root=T&in_path=../../../user_files&depth=0]
[/table]
Display the folder tree of the 'user_files' folder.<br>
[search table=file_tree_table&eqISFOLDERdata=T&rank=off]
[founditems]
[loop start=0&end=[depth]] [/loop][name]<br>
[/founditems]
[/search]
<p>
Display the complete file tree of the 'user_files' folder<br>
[search table=file_tree_table&neNAMEdata=B&rank=off]
[founditems]
[loop start=0&end=[depth]] [/loop][name]<br>
[/founditems]
[/search]
]]>
Results...
Display the folder tree of the 'user_files' folder.

In the example above, we used a single table to store all the folder and
file info. We could have created a separate table for each folder, which
would provide more flexibility for sorting the folders and files (which
is what we did to create the 'file tree' popup window used in the WebDNA Lab
application.).
