I have this template, there is a form at the top of the page that requires the threadID from ANY one of the Posts sent (they're all the same, a slice of all posts with a certain threadID), this obviously doesn't work, my only other idea was something along the lines of
{{range .}}
{{if $threadID == nil}}
$threadID := .ThreadID
//build the form same as above
{{end}}
<h3>{{.Subject}}</h3>
<h3>{{.Name}}</h3>
<div>{{.DatePosted}}</div>
<div><p>{{.Text}}</p></div>
<br /><br />
{{end}}
Here is the Post structure and methods if any of the above is unclear.
type Post struct {
threadID int
subject string
name string
text string
date_posted string
}
func (p *Post) ThreadID() int { return p.threadID }
func (p *Post) Subject() string { return p.subject }
func (p *Post) Name() string { return p.name }
func (p *Post) Text() string { return p.text }
func (p *Post) DatePosted() string { return p.date_posted }
And the origin of the slice of posts sent to the template
threadID := r.URL.Path[len("/reply/"):]
replies, err := i.db.Query("SELECT * FROM latest_threads where thread_id="+threadID);
