Pagelist thumbnail

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I am creating a page-list of thubnails, much like this:http://mattgreydesign.com/projects/... however I would like every 3rd thumbnail to have a different class so the padding aligns them properly, how would I go about doing this using my existing code? ....

<div class="ccm-page-list-3">
<?php 
for ($i = 0; $i < count($cArray); $i++ ) {
   $cobj = $cArray[$i]; 
   $title = $cobj->getCollectionName(); ?>
    <div class="ccm-page-list-itm-3">
    <h3 class="listheader-3"><a href="<?php echo $nh->getLinkToCollection($cobj)?>"><?php echo $title?></a></h3>
<div class="ccm-page-list-description-3">
   <?php if($cobj->getAttribute('thumbnail')): ?>
<?php endif; ?>
   <?php 
   if(!$controller->truncateSummaries){
      echo $cobj->getCollectionDescription();
   }else{
      echo $textHelper->shortText($cobj->getCollectionDescription(),$controller->truncateChars);

Hi Matt,

You can set up a variable to store an output count so that for every third iteration of the loop that outputs your thumbnails you can output a different class to the div.

Outside of the loop declare the variable, then within the loop increment and check its valu, either output the default class, or the alternative class and reset the counter.

The output count is $outputCount, for the third loop the class 'additionalClass' is used.

Amended code:

<?php
$outputCount = 0;
?>
<div class="ccm-page-list-3">
<?php 
for ($i = 0; $i < count($cArray); $i++ ) {
  $outputCount++;
   $cobj = $cArray[$i]; 
   $title = $cobj->getCollectionName(); ?>
 <?php
 if($outputCount == 3)
 {
    $outputCount = 0;
    echo '<div class="additionalClass">';
 } else {

Not tested, so please ensure you check and test code before deploying to a live environment, take a backup of the existing file.

Hope this helps,

Charlie.

Ill give it a try, I thought it would use an array but I'm not that good at this type of thing...
