[...] For a split second I longed for Smarty’s {cycle} function. Does ZF have something similar? Well of course it does, and it’s even has the word ‘cycle’ in it! [...]

Oops, missing a parens up there, should be:

echo (is_int($this->partialCounter / 2) ? ‘g’ : ”)

If, like me, you found this helpful blog while looking for a way to alternate colors while using a partialLoop, you may not need the Cycle helper. partialLoop() assigns a variable, “partialCounter”, to the view, which indicates its position in the loop. So, if you need to alternate between “yes” and “no”, you could do this:

echo is_int($this->partialCounter / 2) ? ‘no’ : ‘yes’)

Hope this helps someone!

i guess its a matter of choice … for me using a helper looks more cleaner.

PS: sorry no code tag in comments

I thought you might say that

In that case its no longer a 1 liner:

BTW, is there a code tag in your comments section available?

that is one option, but its a little more trickier when working with more then 2 values.

Another way to achieve this in your view scripts:

Color Cycler:

The current color is .

Not only do you get outputting, but you also get assignment!
