Smarty table even odd

Question

I'm is using PHP smarty templater. I need to create even odd row highlighting. Please, send me example how to do that.

also I have variable:

$smarty.foreach.product.index

Answer 1

For this kind of situation smarty has method called {cycle}

<table>
{foreach $products as $product}
<tr class="{cycle values="odd,even"}">
   <td>{$product.name}</td>
</tr>
{/foreach}
</table>

The result for this will be:

<table>
<tr class="odd">
   <td>1st product</td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
   <td>2nd product</td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd">
   <td>3rd product</td>
</tr>
</table>

In you stylesheet file define properties for odd and even lines like this:

tr.even td{background: #CCCCCC;}
tr.odd td{background: #EFEFEF;}
