Hi Dave and all,
Thanks so much. I figured it out.
Here is the answer:
$data = unserialize($row->{$field->field_alias}); print $data[attributes][Attending][0];
Here was one prior step prior that made things easy:
$data = unserialize($row->{$field->field_alias}); echo '<pre>'; print_r ($data); echo '</pre>';
But as someone who is fairly new to programming... and I'm basically a site-builder, I code on an as-needed basis... not all day long -- let me just rant about something in coding documentation that drives me nuts! There are no conventions when presenting examples about what is literal and what I should fill in with an item specific to my situation. I can't tell you how many other things I tried before I finally saw an example of "$row->{$field->field_alias} being used and AHA --- It's literal, I copy as is; I'm not supposed to change anything. I think this is the biggest challenge to people learning programming.
Dave thanks SOOOO much, you really helped.

Hi Dave,
Thanks so much, this is what prints out, following your instructions. the yellow part is the part that I'm interested in:
stdClass Object ( [order_product_id] => 65 [uc_order_products_qty] => 2 [uc_order_products_title] => Rosh Hashanah Day 1 [uc_orders_billing_last_name] => Eizen [uc_order_products_data] => a:5:{s:6:"kit_id";s:3:"570";s:6:"module";s:14:"uc_product_kit";s:10:"attributes";a:2:{s:9:"Attending";a:1:{i:0;s:26:"Irene Eizen, Bernard Eizen";}s:4:"Note";a:1:{i:0;s:45:"We are friends of Eric Sack and Sandy Steiker";}}s:9:"shippable";s:1:"0";s:9:"unique_id";s:23:"4c7d632a8090c7.95333579";} [uc_order_products_nid] => 565 )

Try changing this to this to see what the properties really are. If you don't understand what you get there, then tell me the results, and I'll try and interpret them for you.
$orderattributes = print_r($row,1); print $orderattributes;

David and all,
David, thanks for the response:
I just tried
$orderattributes = $row->{$field->data}; print $orderattributes;
I get a php fatal error: "Cannot access empty property"
The following is from Views "Theme information": Field uc_order_products: data (ID: data)
Ideas?
Thanks much,
Shai

I'm not an expert here, but I'm reading the coments differently than you are.
I think you should be working with $row->data ( or at least $row) and not with $output. That's got html in it, right?

I'm creating a view of ubercart order products. I got the necessary data to be accessible to Views using Table Wizard ( http://drupal.org/project/tw).
The product attribute info is stored serialized in the "data" field on the uc_order_products table. Here is an example of the raw serialized data:
a:5:{s:6:"kit_id";s:3:"570";s:6:"module";s:14:"uc_product_kit";s:10:"attributes";a:2:{s:9:"Attending";a:1:{i:0;s:26:"Jane
Doe, John Doe";}s:4:"Note";a:1:{i:0;s:45:"We are friends of Eric Smith and Sandy Smith";}}s:9:"shippable";s:1:"0";s:9:"unique_id";s:23:"4c7d632a8090c7.95333579";}
I have no problem printing it out like above.
Unserialized it looks like this:
Array ( [kit_id] => 570 [module] => uc_product_kit [attributes] => Array ( [Attending] => Array ( [0] => Jane Doe, John Doe )
[Note] => Array ( [0] => We are friends of Eric Smith and Sandy Smith )
)
[shippable] => 0 [unique_id] => 4c7d632a8090c7.95333579 )
I want to print out: Jane Doe, John Doe
Here is what views-view-field.tpl.php has to say:
// $Id: views-view-field.tpl.php,v 1.1 2008/05/16 22:22:32 merlinofchaos Exp $ /**
- This template is used to print a single field in a view. It is not
- actually used in default Views, as this is registered as a theme
- function which has better performance. For single overrides, the
- template is perfectly okay.
- Variables available:
- $view: The view object
- $field: The field handler object that can process the input
- $row: The raw SQL result that can be used
- $output: The processed output that will normally be used.
- When fetching output from the $row, this construct should be used:
- $data = $row->{$field->field_alias}
- The above will guarantee that you'll always get the correct data,
- regardless of any changes in the aliasing that might happen if
- the view is modified.
*/
This is what I'm putting in views-view-field.tpl.php:
$data = unserialize($output); print $data['Attending'][0];
Nothing gets returned.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks,
Shai
