Hi,
I am trying to use a number in an xml file to define the
number of times
an image gets placed on the page. As the number appears only once and
there are no nodes to count or group I'm a little bit stuck.
The XML looks like this:
<mood>
<rating>5</rating>
</mood>
In this case I want to put five iterations of the image on
screen like this:
<div class="moodbar"><img
src="layout/global/pics/mood-red.gif" alt=""
/></div>
<div class="moodbar"><img
src="layout/global/pics/mood-red.gif" alt=""
/></div>
<div class="moodbar"><img
src="layout/global/pics/mood-red.gif" alt=""
/></div>
<div class="moodbar"><img
src="layout/global/pics/mood-red.gif" alt=""
/></div>
<div class="moodbar"><img
src="layout/global/pics/mood-red.gif" alt=""
/></div>
Is there a way of doing this so if the number is changed
(with a max of
17 possible) the number of images will change?
Recursion is your friend.
template rater
param i
if $i > 0
<div class="moodbar">
<img src="layout/global/pics/mood-red.gif" alt="" />
</div>
call-template rater
with-param i $i - 1
Or you could use the Piez Method, but I remember WP himself saying that "it's a
cheat".
Cheers,
Jarno
