Template Loop

A template loop lets you loop through product, categories, subcategories or pages tied to a page template.

{% pagination template(20) %}
{% define $x = 1 %}
{% loop template('tpl_recipe', 'id', 'desc') %}
  <div class="list_layout {% if $x == 2 %} odd {% define $x = 1 %} {% else %} even {% increment($x) %} {% endif %}">
    <h3><a href="{tpl_recipe.page_url}">{tpl_recipe.page_name}</a></h3>
    <a href="{tpl_recipe.page_url}"><img src="{tpl_recipe.attr_recipe_image}" /></a>
    <p>{tpl_recipe.page_content_15}...</p>
    <a href="{tpl_recipe.page_url}">&raquo; MORE</a>
  </div>
{% ENDLOOP tpl_recipe %}
<div class="clear:both;"></div>
{% default_pagination("Prev", "Next", 5) %}

Template Loops can be called like any of the following:

  • {% loop product(tpl_recipe) %}

A template loop can loop through any template type based on a page template.
