While loop: Output something different on every second result
- by Wade D Ouellet
Hi, I am running a plugin called Category Posts Widget for WordPress: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-posts/
It uses a while loop to display the names of all posts in a certain category. I want to get it so that there is a different class attached to the li tag on every second output.
Here is the block of code for the plugin:
// Post list
echo "<ul>\n";
while ( $cat_posts->have_posts() )
{
$cat_posts->the_post();
?>
<li class="cat-post-item">
<a class="post-title" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php
if (
function_exists('the_post_thumbnail') &&
current_theme_supports("post-thumbnails") &&
$instance["thumb"] &&
has_post_thumbnail()
) :
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'cat_post_thumb_size'.$this->id ); ?>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( $instance['date'] ) : ?>
<p class="post-date"><?php the_time("j M Y"); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( $instance['excerpt'] ) : ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( $instance['comment_num'] ) : ?>
<p class="comment-num">(<?php comments_number(); ?>)</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php
}
echo "</ul>\n";
I am just trying to get it so on each second one in the output list, the li has a different class, so cat-post-item-alt for example.
Thanks,
Wade
