Adopt many adoptables at once.

[Aasixx]

Does anyone know how to make a code where I can set a number of adoptables (making custom adoption center/place) that they can adopt all at once? Like, let's say I set it to where you can adopt 14 horses, in the dropdown box you can choose how many you'd like to adopt 1-14 and whatever number they choose, that's how many adoptables will show up in their myadopts.php

I tried making one myself but it didn't turn out too great. Any help would be awesome! Thanks.

Well you can just create a textfield in adopt.php in the adoption form, in which users can enter the number of adoptables they want to adopt for this particular species.

What would I need to do to make it give that user that many adoptables? So, like I said, 14 adoptables.

Well you can see a section of adoption form code in adopt.php like these:

PHP Code:

            $article_content = $article_content."<br><img src='{$eggimage}' border='0'><br>
            <form name='form1' method='get' action='doadopt.php'>
              <p>Adoptable Name: 
                <input name='name' type='text' id='name'>
                <input name='id' type='hidden' id='id' value='{$id}'>
                <input name='promocode' type='hidden' id='promocode' value='{$promocode}'>
              </p>
              <p>
                <input type='submit' name='Submit' value='Adopt Me'>
            </p> 


You can add a new textfield called 'quantity' in this form section. You can place it anywhere above the submit line and below the form opening tag:

PHP Code:

<input name='number' type='text' id='number' value='1'> 


Now you will need to go to doadopt.php and retrieve this number from $_GET array:

PHP Code:

$id = $_GET["id"];
$promocode = $_GET["promocode"];
$name = $_GET["name"]; 


Add below:

PHP Code:

$number = $_GET['number'] 


The processing of multi-adopts is quite tricky, you will need a while or for loop to complete the task. Find this section of code:

PHP Code:

                // If we can adopt this creature, do the adoption
                if($canadopt == "yes") {
                    if (changecash(-$row->cost, $GLOBALS['loggedinname'], $GLOBALS['money'])==true) {                
                        // BEGIN the actual adoption process

                        // First we see if we have a custom name; if not, we use the default name
                        if($name == "") $name = $row->type;

                        // Now we determine if we are using alternate images or not

                        $alts = getaltstatus($id, 0, 0);

                        // We need a unique code for the adoptable so we can show it to the user when we're done here...

                        $code = codegen(10, 0);
                        $genders = array('f', 'm');
                        $rand = rand(0,1);
  
                        $adopts->insert("owned_adoptables", array("aid" => NULL, "type" => $row->type, "name" => $name, "owner" => $loggedinname, "currentlevel" => 0, "totalclicks" => 0, "code" => $code, 
                                        "imageurl" => NULL, "usealternates" => $alts, "tradestatus" => 'fortrade', "isfrozen" => 'no', "gender" => $genders[$rand], "lastbred" => 0));
                                                                        
                        // Adoption complete, show the user a confirmation screen...

                        $owned_adoptable = $adopts->select("owned_adoptables", array(), "code='{$code}' and owner='{$loggedinname}'")->fetchObject();    
                        $id = $owned_adoptable->aid;

                        $article_title = $name." adopted successfully";
                        $article_content = "<img src='{$row->eggimage}'><br>{$congrats1} {$name}.  You can now manage {$name} on the 
                        <a href='myadopts.php'>My Adopts</a> page.<br><br><b><a href='myadopts.php?act=manage&id={$id}'>Click Here to Manage {$name}</a><br>
                        <a href='myadopts.php?act=bbcode&id={$id}'>Click Here to get BBCodes / HTML Codes for {$name}</a></b><br><br>
                        Be sure and <a href='levelup.php?id={$id}'>feed</a> {$name} with clicks so that they grow!";
                        unset($_SESSION["allow"]);
                        // END the actual adoption process
                    }
                    else {
                        $article_title = "Not enough money.";
                        $article_content = "You don't have enough {$GLOBALS['settings']['cost']} to buy this adoptable. Earn some money and then try again.";
                    }
                } 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

                // If we can adopt this creature, do the adoption
                if($canadopt == "yes") {
                    if (changecash(-$row->cost*$number, $GLOBALS['loggedinname'], $GLOBALS['money'])==true) {                
                        // BEGIN the actual adoption process

                      for(i = 0; i < $number; i++){

                        // First we see if we have a custom name; if not, we use the default name
                        if($name == "") $name = $row->type;

                        // Now we determine if we are using alternate images or not

                        $alts = getaltstatus($id, 0, 0);

                        // We need a unique code for the adoptable so we can show it to the user when we're done here...

                        $code = codegen(10, 0);
                        $genders = array('f', 'm');
                        $rand = rand(0,1);
  
                        $adopts->insert("owned_adoptables", array("aid" => NULL, "type" => $row->type, "name" => $name, "owner" => $loggedinname, "currentlevel" => 0, "totalclicks" => 0, "code" => $code, 
                                        "imageurl" => NULL, "usealternates" => $alts, "tradestatus" => 'fortrade', "isfrozen" => 'no', "gender" => $genders[$rand], "lastbred" => 0));
                                                                        
                        // Adoption complete, show the user a confirmation screen...

                        $owned_adoptable = $adopts->select("owned_adoptables", array(), "code='{$code}' and owner='{$loggedinname}'")->fetchObject();    
                        $id = $owned_adoptable->aid;

                        $article_title = $name." adopted successfully";
                        $article_content = "<img src='{$row->eggimage}'><br>{$congrats1} {$name}.  You can now manage {$name} on the 
                        <a href='myadopts.php'>My Adopts</a> page.<br><br><b><a href='myadopts.php?act=manage&id={$id}'>Click Here to Manage {$name}</a><br>

                        unset($_SESSION["allow"]);
                        // END the actual adoption process
                      }
                    }
                    else {
                        $article_title = "Not enough money.";
                        $article_content = "You don't have enough {$GLOBALS['settings']['cost']} to buy this adoptable with the entered quantity. Earn some money and then try again.";
                    }
                } 


Keep in mind that this is a drastic change of the script and I cannot promise that you won't be getting lots of unexpected errors. Lemme know if anything happens though, they should not be hard to fix.

At first I got this after pressing "Adopt Me"
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in /home/albisian/public_html/doadopt.php on line 17

and then I added a missing ";" for this
$number = $_GET['number']

and got a new error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ';' in /home/albisian/public_html/doadopt.php on line 47

[Hall of Famer]

Well what is line 47 for you?

[Aasixx]

Opened doadopt.php in Notepad++ and this is at line 47:
for(i = 0; i < $number; i++){

[Hall of Famer]

Oh my what was I thinking... Replace this line with the code below:

PHP Code:

for($i = 0; $i < $number; $i++){ 


Guess I was so lost in the last Java programming assignment, which does not use dollar sign as their variable name. XD

[Aasixx]

Haha, it's okay. Thank you!

[Hall of Famer]

No worries, I find it easier to use PHP's syntax though, since I am still at heart a PHP programmer. I am learning a Java course at school at this moment, hoping to strengthen my skills as an object-oriented programmer. Of course I try not to let this interfere with my php coding, since sometimes it can. XD
