}In other words, you ’ re going to reuse the model functions and resulting data arrays on the public side.
To make these lists appear, simply loop through $assigned_colors and $assigned_sizes and then
look up the names in $colors and $sizes on the product view.
Here ’ s the entire view again, to refresh your memory, with the specific code in bold:
< div id=’pleft’ >< ?php
if ($this- > session- > flashdata(‘conf_msg’)){ //change!
echo “ < div class=’message’ > ”;
echo $this- > session- > flashdata(‘conf_msg’);
echo “ < /div > ”;
}
? >
< ?php
echo “ < img src=’”.$product[‘image’].”’ border=’0’ align=’left’/ > \n”;
echo “ < h2 > ”.$product[‘name’].” < /h2 > \n”;
echo “ < p > ”.$product[‘longdesc’]. “ < br/ > \n”;
echo “Colors: “;
foreach ($assigned_colors as $value){
echo $colors[$value]. “ & nbsp;”;
}
echo “ < br/ > ”;
echo “Sizes: “;
foreach ($assigned_sizes as $value){
echo $sizes[$value]. “ & nbsp;”;
}
echo “ < br/ > ”;
echo anchor(‘welcome/cart/’.$product[‘id’],’add to cart’). “ < /p > \n”;
? >
< /div >< div id=’pright’ >
< ?php
foreach ($grouplist as $key = > $list){
echo “ < div class=’productlisting’ > < img src=’”.$list[‘thumbnail’].”’
border=’0’ class=’thumbnail’/ > \n”;
echo “ < h4 > ”.$list[‘name’].” < /h4 > \n”;
