Notice: This thread is archived, this plugin is no longer available.

**********************************************************

hi @all,

i needed the possibility to cycle through a given set of classnames for the articles of a page and found no suitable plugin, so here one is. hard to explain, but maybe the example will help to understand.

More info: grauhirn.org

attributes

returns
- what should be alternating returned? separated by comma here the values will be given through which the plugin will cycle.

example

<div class="entry<txp:gho_alternation returns="this,that" />">
returns the first time called class=“entrythis”, the second time class=“entrythat”, the third time class=“entrythis” and so forth.

Whaow, this is g-r-e-a-t !
It’s not only a John Hicks dream come true, it’s a lot of textpatterner’s dream come true :-)

the gho plugins series has started ! I already liked gho_comments_invite, but this one is going to make style sheets a lot nicer :-))
Can’t wait to see what will be next :)

Thanks for this graumeister. This is fantastic!

FWIW, you can do this kind of thing with zem_nth.

davidm · 2005-05-04 22:28:52

Yeah true, there are so many plugins to test (!)… I have tested and happily used almost every one of your plugins (love zem_contact, zem_ir and zem_dropcash), but missed zem_nth. I just checked the syntax of your plugin : isn’t gho_alternation more “straightforward” ?

I find it easier this way than the step=1 of=2, plus you don’t have to open and close a tag. Sure, zem_nth has probably more flexibility for this very same reason. You can choose different item to wrap into those tags :-) But for more simple purpose I guess this one will be easier…

@kennethlove666: yes, as much items as you want

Hi all, I’ve updated the plugin to work with txp1.0 (rc5).

swf · 2005-08-14 15:09:14

I just installed the plugin and the help is a bit messed up

[code]
h1. gho_alternation h2. description I needed an alternating counter or something which alternates between maybe some classes. This plugin will do it. h2. attributes returns – what should be alternating returned? separated by comma here the values will be given through which the plugin will cycle. h2. example "> returns the first time called class=“entrythis”, the second time class=“entrythat”, the third time class=“entrythis” and so forth. h2.
