Re: [wiki] New example of using <txp:variable />
Hi the_ghost. Very good tutorial!
But I don’t understand one thing: how do you use the “trigger” variable? What does it store? Where do you put it?
Could you explain it a little more?
Best regards,
Patrick.

Re: [wiki] New example of using <txp:variable />
Ok.
Form is called to “render” article-related for every article which was selected by <txp:article_custom />. The idea is to place every next article near by previous article’s cell. But without “trigger” we don’t know what was the previous cell – first, second or third in a row. So, at first we check if “triiger” is defined. If not – assign “1” – it will build first cell. If value exists – incease it by 1. If value is 3 – assign 1 – we want only three articles.
Clear now? I’m not so good in english :-[

Victor, I well understood the purpose and the construction of your tutorial. So, if I well understand you, “trigger” is a build in the core function. Right?

Khm.. “trigger is just the name of variable, which was created with <txp:variable /> tag. So, partly you are right, because this tag is native txp tag and it will be avaible for all users since 4.0.7 version

Oops. Sorry Victor. You pass the value of “trigger” each time you render your table lines.
Sorry for my stupidity.
