texte = Hi all, I've been working with webCat this week (thanks to the help I got here doing the install). I'm trying to build a template for displaying products that doesn't look like a database table. In other words I don't have all the info lined up in nice tables, that are so easy to generate within a [founditems][/founditems] loop.I'm displaying 4 items per page. I want the pictures to basically be together, then the descriptions together at the bottom, the code between the pictures is not repeating, so I can't build it directly in a loop easily.What would be the best way to handle this? I though about setting some text variables (like picX, and DescriptionX and PriceX, where X changes on each iteration through the loop) and running the loop at the top of the page. Then I will have the info I need stored in variables and I can put the stuff anywhere. My question though is this, is there an index like variable that is generated within the [founditems][/founditems] loop?Any help is greatly appreciated, you don't need to give me the code (though if you feel like it I won't complain) just a conceptual discussion is fine.thanks again,james@imnyc.com-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
