Body
"In order to understand recursion, you must first understand recursion..." Just kidding. This should do what you want: <pre><code><?php /* * Smarty plugin * ————————————————————- * File: function.recurse_array.php * Type: function * Name: recurse_array * Purpose: prints out elements of an array recursively * ————————————————————- */ function smarty_function_recurse_array($params, &$smarty) { if (is_array($params['array']) && count($params['array']) > 0) { $markup = ''; $markup .= '<ul>'; foreach ($params['array'] as $element) { $markup .= '<li>'; $markup .= '<h1>' . $element['headline'] . '</h1>'; $markup .= '' . $element['body'] . ''; if (isset($element['children'])) { $markup .= smarty_function_recurse_array(array('array' => $element['children']), $smarty); } $markup .= '</li>'; } $markup.= '</ul>'; return $markup; } else { return 'not array'; } } </code></pre> Place the file into your smarty/plugins folder. Assign your array to Smarty then call it in your template like so: <pre><code>{recurse_array array=$data} </code></pre> Here's nice tutorial for making custom Smarty functions: <a href="http://www.velvetblues.com/web-development-blog/smarty-templates-create-custom-functions/" rel="noreferrer">Creating Custom Smarty Functions</a> Be aware of the dependency that this example has on your underlying data structure. Also, keep in mind that an unusually long or deeply nested set of data could be really slow. Manage your complexity, keep things well documented, and you should be fine. Good luck!

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
