Problems with TBS + phpAR

I'm just beginning with TBS, and I am using it in integration with phpActiveRecord to create a basic forum system.

I'm getting the following error:
`TinyButStrong Error when merging block [ForumList]: invalid query 'categories[0]->forums' because global variable 'categories' is not found.`

Category.php:

<?php

class Category extends ActiveRecord\Model {

    static $has_many = array(
        array('forums')
    );

    function index() {

        $categories = Category::all(array('order' => 'sortno ASC'));

        $GLOBALS['body']->LoadTemplate('templates/categories/index.tpl');

        $GLOBALS['body']->MergeBlock('CatList', $categories);
        $GLOBALS['body']->MergeBlock('ForumList', 'array', 'categories[%p1%]->forums');

    }

}

?>

Forum.php:

<?php

class Forum extends ActiveRecord\Model {

    static $belongs_to = array(
        array('category')
    );

}

?>

index.tpl:

<br />
<table width=100% border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
    <td class="btl"></td>
    <td class="btop">[CatList.name;block=table;bmagnet=table]</td>
    <td class="btr"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="bleft"></td>
    <td style="text-align: center;">
        <table width="100%">
            <tr>
                <td style="width: 50px; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;"><div class="img_forum_left"></div></td>
                <td>[ForumList.id][ForumList.name;block=tr;bmagnet=tr;p1=[CatList.$]]</td>
                <td style="width: 80px;">0 Topics</td>
                <td style="width: 80px;">0 Replies</td>
                <td style="width: 250px;">Last Post: 10-03-2010 11:05 AM<br />By: <a href="#">Keith</a><br />In: <a href="#">Test Topic</a></td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </td>
    <td class="bright"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="bbl"></td>
    <td class="bbottom"></td>
    <td class="bbr"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful :D

New Category.php:

<?php

class Category extends ActiveRecord\Model {

    static $has_many = array(
        array('forums')
    );

    function index() {

        $GLOBALS['categories'] = Category::all(array('order' => 'sortno ASC'));

        $GLOBALS['body']->LoadTemplate('templates/categories/index.tpl');

        $GLOBALS['body']->MergeBlock('CatList', $GLOBALS['categories']);
        $GLOBALS['body']->MergeBlock('ForumList', 'array', 'categories[%p1%]->forums');

    }

}

?>

Got it to stop showing the error, however I don't think it is passing the forum list...

It shows nothing, no errors, but no data.

However in PHP with this code, I can see the name of each forum under category 1:

foreach ($GLOBALS['categories'] as $cat) {
foreach ($cat->forums as $forum) {
echo $forum->name;
}
}

Hi Keith,

I can't see in your code the line where you ask to display the result.
Since you don't call $GLOBALS['body']->Show(), the merged content is stored only in $GLOBALS['body']->Source

Re: Problems with TBS + phpAR

I apologize, there is an index page that calls everything. The show was at the bottom of the page. Do not have the code anymore, I dropped it and started doing it by scratch =/

If you are interested, this is the current outline (it has been modified to no longer use TBS - will likely modify it tomorrow to put TBS back in):

<?php

require_once 'includes/init.php';

include('templates/' . STYLE_PATH . '/header.php');

#Get ?p= and break it up (?p=module:page)
list($module, $page) = explode(":", $_GET['p']);

if ($module == "") {
    $model = "Category";
} else {
    $module = explode("_", $module);
    foreach ($module as $word) {
        $model .= ucwords($word);
    }

    #Wait.... Is our model even valid?
    if(!file_exists("models/$model.php")) {
        System::noperm();
    }
}

#If we have a module but no page, make page index
if ($model != "" && $page == "") {
    $page = "index";
}

if ($_GET['id'] != "" and is_numeric($_GET['id'])) {
    $parse_id = $_GET['id'];
}

if(file_exists("models/$model.php")) {
    try {
        $model::$page($parse_id);
    } catch (Exception $error) {
        System::noperm(); #Fail gracefully for the user
    }
}

include('templates/' . STYLE_PATH . '/footer.php');

?>
