Symphony.

Hi,

I guess this is a problem everyone will have sometime during their first Symphony projects, but i don't know what to search for. Sorry if im duplicating..

Say you have a data source of items and want do display them in a grid on multiple lines.

In PHP you'd probably create a $counter variable and if it reaches a certain value you would inject "

I'm not stalking :)

Try this: http://getsymphony.com/discuss/thread/37303/, The Modulo approach can be used to count entries and allow presentation based on the number of entries in a line... I needed it to be able to split a series of video entries over 2 columns equally on this site... http://rhyfeddod.co.uk pardon the slow load! clients host.

EDIT This is obviously one approach, there are many ways to skin a cat! applying a class to the last item in a row using modulo would allow you to create a CSS rule that drops the item down onto the next row of items for example.

I'm nothing but glad for fast replies :)

Yes, there are multiple ways of doing this client side... but i need to do some modification to every 4th or so entry, even it it's just adding a class to remove margin-right if they for example are floating inside a container.

Will check your link!

A few others:

• XSLT, grouping entries
• group by position and discussion

If you just need to do something every nth, you can call the position() function:

<xsl:for-each select="entry">
    <xsl:if select="position() mod 4 = 0">
        every 4th!
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

Hmm either i'm not getting it or whats described in the link is not really what i'm asking for.

For example, say that i have 10 entries, and i want to output the following

Edit: gonna put some example code on xpathr or something, brb

Thanks, that last post was what i was looking for @nickdunn.

I got it working..

But - next question.. is there any way i can get around printing out the full markup twice and just add the extra class?

In PHP i'd do something like run a shorthand IF inside the tag or assign $class = " class='last'"; and output $class inside the div tag.

Gets kind of tricky when you need to close all tags properly though ;)

Edit: Maybe call for a template for the stuff that should be inside the div-tag inside each variation of it?

Edit 2: Yep, that was it :) ?

:-)

It's a bit trickier if you want, let's say, add a class to every first item of the row:
