Hello Everyone,

I am trying to build an HTML table using channel entries. In other words, I’d like to create a row every three entries.
Has anyone done this before?

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Thank you,
Mario

I would recommend using the matrix field-type add-on.

Create 3 columns and add in template code like:

<table>
{matrix_field_name}
<tr>
<td>{col_1_name}</td>
<td>{col_2_name}</td>
<td>{col_3_name}</td>
</tr>
{/matrix_field_name}
</table>

Matrix is great. If you need to make a table out of your entries, though, you can use a dash of PHP to display alternating row classes every 2, 3, 4, or whatever # rows.  This one is set to 5.

{!-- Quick modulus operator to get new row after 5 images --}
<?php
$count = '{count}';
if($count % 5 == 0) {echo('<tr class="whatever">'); }
?>

Thank you for your help.
I used PHP to generate the table.
