You can also include some error checking; public function isiteratorPos($i=2){ return $this->iteratorPos>0 && ($this->iteratorPos % $i) == 0; }

How about: function Position(){ switch($this->iteratorPos % 3) { case 0: return 'first'; break; case 1: return 'second'; break; case 2: return 'third'; break; } } then you can just go eg:

After some playing with it I noticed (as I have done before) that in order to get it to work on page objects you have to add it to the model and not to the controler ...

Is there a way to get this working on a Children control that returns more than one DataObject Type. Adding the function to each

Hi Markus That sounds like a great idea, if you want to write a snippet that would be great, or you can just send me your code and i will add it to this snippet :) Thanks Aram

Great post about a function that really should be part of the core. I've found myself writing a couple of utility functions to extend the template language but I didn't like having to put them in my Page class or inte class of the dataobject in question. I solved this by decorating so I can keep my utility functions separate from my page/dataobject files. I would be most willing to write a snippet about this if you think going the decorator route instead of putting them directly in the classes is a worthwile one.

Hi all, I use this one (with modulous) and it works pretty well....passing in the number of iterations makes it a little more flexibe: public function SplitList($val=3) { return ($this->iteratorPos ) % $val == 0; }
