Re: Overriding the default iterator: msg#00029

Subject: Re: Overriding the default iterator
Adam,

Of course, there's always Template::Plugin::Cycle, designed for just your sort of situation... especially if you just want row backgrounds and such.

Well, I will definitely look into that, as that is one thing (probably the most common thing) I use it for. But there are other things as well; for instance, just last night I did a six-column table that was, from the user perspective, two columns, each cell of which had 3 items in it. So I did something like this:

    <table ...>
        [% FOREACH method IN all_methods %]
            [% '<tr>' IF loop.count % 2 == 1 %]
<td> <input type="radio" name="method" value="[% method.id %]"> </td>
                <td> [% method.rate %] </td>
                <td> [% method.name %] </td>
             [% '</tr>' IF loop.count % 2 == 0 %]
         [% END %]
    </table>

So, in that instance, I think having an "odd" (and an "even", natch) would make it more legible for the non-programmers.

Excellent!  Sounds very simple.  Thanx for the tip.
