Looping through group of variables

vlado 8 Feb 2016 18:00 question, complete

Is there a way of looping through a group of variables? I'm trying to display a group like channel entries with ability to re-order from the back-end.

   Not natively. But you could use the Query module to generate a list of vars.

   Can you give any example? Or some reference?

   Something like
   
   

   {exp:query sql="SELECT ee.variable_name FROM exp_global_variables AS ee, exp_low_variables low WHERE ee.variable_id = low.variable_id AND low.group_id = X ORDER BY low.variable_order ASC"} 
     {{variable_name}} 
    {/exp:query}

   
   
   or
   
   

   {exp:query sql="SELECT ee.variable_name FROM exp_global_variables AS ee, exp_low_variables low WHERE ee.variable_id = low.variable_id AND low.group_id = X ORDER BY low.variable_order ASC"} 
     {exp:low_variables:parse var="{variable_name}"} 
    {/exp:query}

   
   
   ...where X is the group ID (which you should be able to see in the edit group URL.

   Oh, I was apparently forgot about the jQuery module as part of EE.
   Thanks s lot for these - I'll try them.
