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
