differet tpl for the 6th element with ditto

there is a way to use a diferent template for the 6th listed element with ditto? like with tplFirst, tplLast ...

Hi,
That’s an intriguing question. You could do it by having a conditional statement in the call using PHx - when a condition arises, use a different template.

What I would do is simpler - use the Doc ID to make a CSS class, and then style it. In the template I could have this bit of code:

<div class="[+id+]">...

That would give me a different class for each element. Then I make note of what class the sixth item has, and style it accordingly to make it look different. That’s not automated, of course.

I hope that gives you some ideas.
Cheers, Dave

If using Revolution, you could use getResources which let’s you specify tpl’s for specific result indices, i.e. &tpl_6=`sixthItemTpl`, or you could back port the logic of getResources to an Evolution compatible Snippet to accomplish the same.

you could use ditto_iteration & phx custom modifier "math" -> http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php?topic=44792.0 / http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/PHx#math.3D.60calculation.60

Thank all of you the answers.
For the 6th element the template is very different, adding a class can’t help me.
The phx has to go the chunck and loading from the ditto tpl a different chunks just doesnt seem to get the data ... I did with phx something like if 6n element chunk6 else chunkBasic

The Revolution thing sounds exciting, I’ll see what can I do with the idea for Evolution

e.g.:


Ditto template {{iteration}}:

Couldn’t you just use the [+ditto_iteration+] placeholder as part of an ID, then style the 6th one in the CSS?
