[Solved] View Table Layout Question

you can use both
i use it in cases where i have nested loops because its more clear in my opinion


i think in your case its debatable to use more than one view for simplification
for example:

your main view

PHP Code:

<div class="panel-body">

<table class="table table-striped table-bordered table-hover">
<thead>
<tr>
<td>Category Name</td>
<td class="text-right">Action</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>


<?php foreach($categories as $category) { ?>

    $arrViewData = array("category" => $category);
    $this->load->view("category-list-view", $arrViewData);
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div> 


the category-list-view.php should look like

PHP Code:

<tr>
    <td><?php echo $category['name']; ?></td>
    <td class="text-right"><a href="<?php echo base_url('admin/catalog/category/edit/' . $category['category_id']);?>">Edit</a></td>
</tr>

<?php 
foreach($category['sub_categories'] as $subcategory) { ?>
    <tr>
        <td><?php echo $subcategory['name']; ?></td>
        <td class="text-right"><a href="<?php echo base_url('admin/catalog/category/edit/' . $subcategory['category_id']);?>">Edit</a></td>
    </tr>
<?php
}
?>

it looks much more clearer and you shifted away from your nested foreach approach in one view

Thanks will keep this in mind thanks

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
