Unserializing Data for Use in a View
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.

What am I doing wrong? thanks, 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?

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. Shai On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 7:46 PM, Shai Gluskin <shai@content2zero.com> wrote:

The data you are trying to get is inside an array that is inside an array. 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 ) You need to add the name of the array that this array is in. $data = unserialize($output); print $data['attributes']['Attending'][0]; Little rusty at this. Hope that helps. Cory
Hi Cory, Thanks. I think we were writing at the same time. Unserializing the $output won't work, because the $output comes with some other stuff, like html. What works is this: $data = unserialize($row->{$field->field_alias}); print $data['attributes']['Attending'][0]; To all, I apologize for not quoting the array keys in my previous "I got it" post. But thank you. I've posted an issue for documentation at the Views queue, suggesting a change in the explanatory text of views-view-field.tpl.php to be explicit that the snippet is literal.

Just a tip, from a coder to a non coder. Install the devel module, and in stead of print_r() you can use dpm(), which outputs arrays using krumo. Much easier to read and understand. Glad you figured it out. On 09/02/2010 10:14 PM, Shai Gluskin wrote:

I may be missing something here but could this not be done with http://drupal.org/project/uc_views and a Global Rewrite. On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 3:25 PM, Christopher M. Jones <cjones@partialflow.com

Christopher and all, "from a coder to a non-coder" I could blog on that formulation... How about, "from an experienced coder to a novice coder" or "from a full-time coder to a part-time coder" By the way, I'm not insulted or angry by your formulation, just taking note of it and also trying to figure out my place in the world. I think part of the liberation of open source and Drupal in particular is that there is really a place for me, someone who doesn't want to code all day, someone who wants to work with clients on site content, not just site code. But my willingness to dabble in code and learn modest coding skills and coding best practices is key to my participation in the Drupal community and I think it offers great value to my clients. Sometimes it can be a bit daunting to be in the midst of full-time coders who "get-it" at a far deeper level. As for dpm()... I don't love it. What I like about print_r is that it reminds of the syntax (array keys in brackets) that I'll need to call the information back out. But certainly the clear hierarchical structure of dmp() can be really helpful. @Steve Kessler... Since I'm not otherwise using uc_views it seems like a bit of overkill when this solution is two short lines of code in a single .tpl file. Shai On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 9:25 AM, Christopher M.

OK. Read your past note quickly. Thought you declared yourself a non coder. No big. And re dpm(), suggestions are meant to be taken or left. Just thought you might not know about the tool. There was a time when I didn't. On 09/03/2010 10:14 AM, Shai Gluskin wrote:
