Question

Am using jsTree + PHP, and I would like to load up two different trees from two different database tables, depending on what user type the logged in user is.

I tracked down the code to the “class.tree.php” file,

class json_tree extends _tree_struct {  
function __construct($table = 'tree', $fields = array(), $add_fields = array("title" => "title", "type" => "type")) {
parent::__construct($table, $fields);
    $this->fields = array_merge($this->fields, $add_fields);
    $this->add_fields = $add_fields;
}

Where the $table = ‘tree’ is hard-coded. I tried removing it (so just $table), and passing ‘tree’ through as

$jstree = new json_tree('tree');

but that didn’t work. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

To those curious, I had completely forgotten that server.php also includes a jstree (I had also initiated it in my left menu). For those interested, or who need a conditional based tree, what I did was:

• removed the $table = ‘tree’ in the __construct as above, which becomes
  function __construct($table, $fields = array(), $add_fields = array("title" => "title", "type" => "type"))
• added a session to the config.php (session_start())
• I have a log in, which allows me to get the condition
• in server.php, I did the following
  if($_SESSION['condition'] == 1) { $jstree = new json_tree("tree");}
else { $jstree = new json_tree("tree_users");}

I hope this helps someone!
