texte = Hello, Trying to do a 'last xx items viewed' on a sidebar on my site. I want to sort them in proper order based on which was viewed most recently. To this end, I am setting 5 cookies named LastView1 through LastView5. I then want to store the contents of the cookies in a table. The cookies have multiple values seperated by a pipe | hence the listwords below. The code below works, but I am thinking the code is overly complex for what I am doing. This is my first time using tables so I may be mising something obvious as to adding multiple rows of data. Haven't tried it yet, but would moving the table open/close to be outside of the loop do the trick (instead of having the multiple rows of the field data and dropping the extra [index] from the beginning of the field)? Is this something that would benefit from being put into a function (haven't used those yet either)? ---- begin ---- [loop start=1&end=5] [math]row=[index][/math] [ListWords Words=[getcookie name=[interpret]LastViewed[index][/interpret]]&Delimiters=|][text show=f][row]field[index]=[word][/text][/ListWords] [table name=Viewed&fields=profileID,nickname,city,state,country,stamp] [hideif [1field1]= ][1field1][1field2][1field3][1field4][1field5][1field6][/hideif] [hideif [2field1]= ][2field1][2field2][2field3][2field4][2field5][2field6][/hideif] [hideif [3field1]= ][3field1][3field2][3field3][3field4][3field5][3field6][/hideif] [hideif [4field1]= ][4field1][4field2][4field3][4field4][4field5][4field6][/hideif] [hideif [5field1]= ][5field1][5field2][5field3][5field4][5field5][5field6][/hideif] [/table][/loop] Last viewed
