Repeat Region with a twist

Hi all,

I've got to make a repeat region but with a difference!

Basically I want to turn the HTML below into Dinamic PHP/mySQL. But the structure has to remain the same, so each <li> tag must contain 3 rows.

<ul>

                                <li>

         <a href="thanks.html"><img src="../Images/slides/slide1.jpg" width="304" height="186" alt="photography" /></a>

         <a href="branding.html"><img src="../Images/slides/slide2.jpg" alt="Design" width="304" height="186" hspace="6" /></a>

         <a href="nice.html"><img src="../Images/slides/slide3.jpg" alt="Design" width="304" height="186" /></a>

   </li>

    <li>

          <a href="thisis.html"><img src="../Images/slides/slide4.jpg" width="304" height="186" alt="Website and Graphics" /></a>

          <a href="hello.html"><img src="../Images/slides/slide5.jpg" width="304" height="186" alt="Design and Photography" hspace="6" /></a>

          <a href="yes.html"><img src="../Images/slides/slide6.jpg" width="304" height="186" alt="Website and  Photography" /></a>

    </li>

                              </ul>

I know how to make a repeat region but I don't know how to tell it to include 3 rows in each repeat region. Does this make sense.

Thanks for any help

T

I could be misinterpreting, but it sounds like you are looking for a horizontal looper. You need to either code this yourself with a nested loop, or use an extension like this: http://tom-muck.com/extensions/help/HorizontalLooper/

There's no twist to your request. What's the problem? Repeat the region and add dynamic values just like you would do in any repeat region situation.

<ul>

REPEAT REGION CODE START HERE

                                <li>

         <a href="DYNAMIC VALUE"><img src="DYNAMIC VALUE" width="304" height="186" alt="DYNAMIC VALUE" /></a>

         <a href="DYNAMIC VALUE"><img src="DYNAMIC VALUE" alt="DYNAMIC VALUE" width="304" height="186" hspace="6" /></a>

         <a href="DYNAMIC VALUE"><img src="DYNAMIC VALUE" alt="DYNAMIC VALUE" width="304" height="186" /></a>

   </li>

  

REPREAT REGION CODE END HERE

</ul>

@the_shocker - Surely, it would show the same Dynamic value three times within the <li> value, as you are not repeating it within the <li>, you're just repeating the <li> itself.

@bregent - I'm not sure what a horizontal looper is but I'll check it out and let you know.

Cheers for your help though.
