Hi David,
I removed the dedupe filter for merchants since a merchant can have multiple products by sizes listed. What I am wondering is if you have any ideal recommendation for querying prices.php on the product page so I can set up a grouped section for each merchant where I would code in an accordion to expand.
Right now it's like:
<?php
foreach($prices["products"] as $product):
?>
I'm wondering if there's a smooth way to (1) sort by merchant with best price, (2) for each merchant show the best price and (3) have a subsection with all prices to expand.

This is great, thank you David it gave me something to work off of :)

Hi David,
As a follow up here, I'm wondering if you have any recommendation for how I could tweak this code to group the products by merchant?
I would like to place all of each merchant's products into one div, having the best price showing and having a button there to expand the merchant's products.
To set up this div, would I then place the opening tag in between these two?
foreach($productsByMerchant as $merchant => $products)
{ foreach($products as $k => $product)
{The only thing I'm wondering is just how your for loop works to works to sole out all after the first one to have this:
$k?"class='priceHidden' style='display:none;'":"");
Hi Erik,
A div surrounding table rows would be invalid markup however the merchant name can be used as part of the row ID (using tapestry_hyphenate() function to make valid as part of an HTML5 element ID) and then a link to toggle the hidden elements for that merchant shown below the first price (using Foundation -loop icon to indicate toggle functionality) - something like this;
<?php
$prices_showVoucherCodes = FALSE;
foreach($prices["products"] as $product)
{
if ($product["voucher_code"])
{
$prices_showVoucherCodes = TRUE;
}
}
?>
<div class='row pt_pr'>
<div class='small-12 columns'>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th><?php print translate("Stockist"); ?></th>
<th class='hide-for-small-only'><?php print translate("Catalogue Product Name"); ?></th>
<th><?php print translate("Price"); ?></th>
<?php if ($prices_showVoucherCodes): ?>
<th><?php print translate("Voucher Code"); ?></th>
<?php endif; ?>
<th> </th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
$productsByMerchant = array();
foreach($prices["products"] as $product)
{
if (!isset($productsByMerchant[$product["merchant"]]))
{
$productsByMerchant[$product["merchant"]] = array();
}
$productsByMerchant[$product["merchant"]][] = $product;
}
foreach($productsByMerchant as $merchant => $products)
{
foreach($products as $k => $product)
{
?>
<tr <?php print ($k?"class='priceHidden_".tapestry_hyphenate($merchant)."' style='display:none;'":"");?> >
<?php if (file_exists("logos/".$product["merchant"].$config_logoExtension)): ?>
<td class='pt_pr_mlogo'><a href='<?php print tapestry_buyURL($product); ?>'><img alt='<?php print htmlspecialchars($product["merchant"],ENT_QUOTES,$config_charset); ?> <?php print translate("Logo"); ?>' src='<?php print $config_baseHREF."logos/".str_replace(" ","%20",$product["merchant"]).$config_logoExtension; ?>' /></a></td>
<?php else: ?>
<td class='pt_pr_mtext'><a href='<?php print tapestry_buyURL($product); ?>'><?php print $product["merchant"]; ?></a></td>
<?php endif; ?>
<td class='hide-for-small-only'><?php print $product["original_name"]; ?></td>
<td class='pt_pr_price'><?php print tapestry_price($product["price"]); ?>
<?php if (!$k && count($products)): ?>
<br /> <a onclick='$(".priceHidden_<?php print tapestry_hyphenate($merchant); ?>").toggle();' style='cursor:pointer;'><i class='fi-loop'></i> <?php print (count($products)-1); ?> more</a>
<?php endif; ?>
</td>
<?php if ($prices_showVoucherCodes): ?>
<td class='pt_pr_vouchercode'><?php print $product["voucher_code"]; ?></td>
<?php endif; ?>
<td class='pt_pr_visit'><a class='button tiny radius success' href='<?php print tapestry_buyURL($product); ?>'><?php print translate("Visit Store"); ?></a></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>Toggle link could go under merchant name of course if you prefer - anywhere within the loop with $merchant in context...
Cheers,
David.

Thanks David, this was a great improvement!

Hi Erik,
Here's a complete html/prices.php with prices grouped by merchant and all but the first price for each merchant initially hidden. See the <button> added in place of the empty heading above the Visit Store column for the reveal code to use as required...
<?php$prices_showVoucherCodes = FALSE;
foreach($prices["products"] as $product)
{
if ($product["voucher_code"])
{
$prices_showVoucherCodes = TRUE;
}
}
?>
<div class='row pt_pr'>
<div class='small-12 columns'>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th><?php print translate("Stockist"); ?></th>
<th class='hide-for-small-only'><?php print translate("Catalogue Product Name"); ?></th>
<th><?php print translate("Price"); ?></th>
<?php if ($prices_showVoucherCodes): ?>
<th><?php print translate("Voucher Code"); ?></th>
<?php endif; ?>
<th><button type='button' class='tiny radius' style='margin-bottom:0;' onclick='$(".priceHidden").show();'>Show All Prices</button></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
$productsByMerchant = array();
foreach($prices["products"] as $product)
{
if (!isset($productsByMerchant[$product["merchant"]]))
{
$productsByMerchant[$product["merchant"]] = array();
}
$productsByMerchant[$product["merchant"]][] = $product;
}
foreach($productsByMerchant as $merchant => $products)
{
foreach($products as $k => $product)
{
?>
<tr <?php print ($k?"class='priceHidden' style='display:none;'":"");?> >
<?php if (file_exists("logos/".$product["merchant"].$config_logoExtension)): ?>
