Create a list of links in PHP?

Hi, I have this page https://chrisbarin.com/membership-account/membership-checkout/?level=1 built in WordPress that's using a very tricky plugin. I have little development experience. I'm looking to replace those blue links which are automatically created with custom links and text. So I'd like to replace the code with something like <name> then <url> so that I can easily change both. Here's the entire code of that page in case it helps: https://pastebin.com/8ieDGPaD PS: I only need the blue links edited, not the array of benefits underneath.

So you want to hard-code them in the pastebin file? They're getting fetched from the database on line 5:

$list_courses = lp_pmpro_list_courses( array( $pmpro_level ) );

$list_courses = lp_pmpro_list_courses( array( $pmpro_level ) );

likely all you need to do is change the values in the database

not sure how to do that I'd rather just change the list from that file seems like a safer option for a beginner there are loads of implications if I change those from the database thanks for the suggestion though @jochemm

ok, if you do want to just hard code things, then you have to replace the part starting with <?php and ending with ?> with the HTML you want to use:

<div class="benefits-list">
    <!-- <div class="benefit">
    <div class="benefit-name">Lorem, ipsum dolor.</div>
    <div class="benefit-icon">✓</div>
    </div> -->
<?php
if ( ! empty( $list_courses ) ) {
    foreach ( $list_courses as $key => $course_item ) {
        $content_item  = '<div class="benefit"><div class="benefit-name">';
        $content_item .= '<a target="_blank" href="'.get_permalink($course_item['id']).'">';
        $content_item .= get_the_title($course_item['id']);
        $content_item .= '</a></div><div class="benefit-icon">✓</div></div>';
        // $content_item .= apply_filters( 'learn_pres_pmpro_course_header_level', '<td class="list-main item-td">' . wp_kses_post( $course_item['link'] ) . '</td>', $course_item['link'], $course_item, $key );
        // $content_item .= apply_filters( 'learn_press_pmpro_course_is_level', '<td class="list-item item-td item-check">&#10003;</td>', $pmpro_level, 0, $course_item, $key );
        // $content_item .= '</tr>';
        // $content_item  = apply_filters( 'learn_press_pmpro_course_item_checkout', $content_item, $course_item['link'], $course_item, $key );

        echo $content_item;
    }
}
?>

<div class="benefits-list">
    <!-- <div class="benefit">
    <div class="benefit-name">Lorem, ipsum dolor.</div>
    <div class="benefit-icon">✓</div>
    </div> -->
<?php
if ( ! empty( $list_courses ) ) {
    foreach ( $list_courses as $key => $course_item ) {
        $content_item  = '<div class="benefit"><div class="benefit-name">';
        $content_item .= '<a target="_blank" href="'.get_permalink($course_item['id']).'">';
        $content_item .= get_the_title($course_item['id']);
        $content_item .= '</a></div><div class="benefit-icon">✓</div></div>';
        // $content_item .= apply_filters( 'learn_pres_pmpro_course_header_level', '<td class="list-main item-td">' . wp_kses_post( $course_item['link'] ) . '</td>', $course_item['link'], $course_item, $key );
        // $content_item .= apply_filters( 'learn_press_pmpro_course_is_level', '<td class="list-item item-td item-check">&#10003;</td>', $pmpro_level, 0, $course_item, $key );
        // $content_item .= '</tr>';
        // $content_item  = apply_filters( 'learn_press_pmpro_course_item_checkout', $content_item, $course_item['link'], $course_item, $key );

        echo $content_item;
    }
}
?>

What it's outputting right now is this:

<div class="benefit">
  <div class="benefit-name">
    <a target="_blank" href="LINK_TO_THE_COURSE">TITLE_OF_THE_COURSE</a>
  </div>
  <div class="benefit-icon">✓</div>
</div>

<div class="benefit">
  <div class="benefit-name">
    <a target="_blank" href="LINK_TO_THE_COURSE">TITLE_OF_THE_COURSE</a>
  </div>
  <div class="benefit-icon">✓</div>
</div>

Just repeat that how ever many times you need, and replace LINK_TO_THE_COURSE and TITLE_OF_THE_COURSE with the appropriate values

awesome

Jochem•16mo ago

the bit you need to replace starts at line 109 in your pastebin and ends at 126

ChrisBarin•16mo ago

now testing it.

ChrisBarin•16mo ago

I messed something up

ChrisBarin•16mo ago

ChrisBarin•16mo ago

the other bits underneath broke

Jochem•16mo ago

you removed the <?php on line 128 as well, you need that

ChrisBarin•16mo ago

do I keep the <?php from 109 though? and the answer is 'no' 😄 works! thanks a lot! you're a life saver I love learning this stuff
