I need help setting up ViewsPHP to evaluate 3 pieces of data? (I barely know any PHP)

ViewFields

I have a View with three embedded Viewfields:

Node count $row->view [views_field_view_view]

Time ago (1 unit) $row->view_1 [views_field_view_view_1]

Success rate $row->view_2 [views_field_view_view_2]

Value code

In the Value Code text area I want to call all the values. I currently have:

return $data;

Output code

In the Output Code I want to do something like this:

<?php
if ($row->view >= 5 AND $row->view_1 >= 5 AND $row->view_2 >= 80) { 
    echo "Amazing person";
}
elseif ($row->view >= 3 AND $row->view_1 >= 3 AND $row->view_2 >= 70) { 
    echo "Good person";
} 
elseif ($row->view >= 1 AND $row->view_2 >= 60) { 
    echo "Interesting person";
}
else {
    echo "Content needed";
}
?>

It's only outputting "Content needed" so what have I done wrong?

EDIT: Updating to 7.x-2.x-dev makes this work.

Structurally, your code looks fine, it's probably because

$row->view = <div id="views-view--view-name"><div>5</div></div> basically the 5 has HTML tags around it.

so <div id="views-view--view-name"><div>5</div></div> does not equal 5

You can use the PHP strip_tags() function to get rid off the tags.

if (strip_tags($row->view) >= 5 AND strip_tags($row->view_1) >= 5 AND strip_tags($row->view_2) >= 80) { 

So try this:

<?php

$a = strip_tags($row->view);
$b = strip_tags($row->view_1);
$c = strip_tags($row->view_2);

if ($a >= 5 AND $b >= 5 AND $c >= 80) { 
    echo "Amazing person";
}
elseif ($a >= 3 AND $b >= 3 AND $c >= 70) { 
    echo "Good person";
} 
elseif ($a >= 1 AND $c >= 60) { 
    echo "Interesting person";
}
else {
    echo "Content needed";
}
?>

PS: no need to have anything for value code return $data;.

  • Maybe it needs more than just strip_tags to parse the ViewField because I'm getting crazy results. EQUAL TO works but LESS THAN does not. $a = 3 is true, $a <= 3 is passed over even though the string is 3.

  • @JohnD $a = 3 is true equal to needs to be two equals signs $a == 3 because if you use only 1 equal sign, it sets the variable to 3, rather than evaluate/test to see if it equals 3, which will always return true.

  • @JohnD when you echo $row->view; what gets printed? just a number or do you see more stuff?

  • echo $row->view; prints nothing, but print_r ($data); prints this stdClass Object ( [users_name] => Ben [uid] => 140 [users_created] => 1437618401 [views_field_view_view] => 3 [views_field_view_view_1] => 1 year [views_field_view_view_2] => 64 )

  • @JohnD "echo $row->view; prints nothing" well then that's your problem, your view is empty. $data is irrelevant here.
