Hi!

To be a bit more understandable, just look at this example, at Apple's website, the table on the middle of the page:

http://www.mac.com/1/iTour/tour_addressbook.html

Would it be possible to do the same for Xoops?
IE:
- one white row;
- one blue row;
- one white row;
- etc.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Don.

you can use the feature of smarty templates to obtain this

for example i report here a part of code of the block of the newbb module "show recent discussion"



then you need to define the classes odd and even of two different color in the css of your theme and you reach the result

You can easily do this in a couple of steps.

First you need to set a style, either directly in the page, or within the style sheet file for the theme you are using (aptly named style.css)

Create two classes (for example):

.blue
.white

The period is necessary because it defines this style as a class which you can later add to your row's tag.

For each class define their respective styles, in this case you would have something similar to:

.blue {background-color: #0000FF;}
.white {background-color: #FFFFFF;}

Now that you have this defined you can move on to the having XOOPS handle the cycling of the different classes on your row.

In a template or on the theme file, etc., you will need change the variables for your table row and should end up with something like:

<tr class="<{cycle values="blue,white"}>">

Traditionally you you have had to do this row by row (i.e. class="blue" then on the next row, class="white", etc.), or used javascript to handle this, however XOOPS takes care of this nicely via the "cycle values."

Note: don't forget both brackets AND both braces.

Thank you very much!
