Alternating Colors in UL in php Joomla mod_feed

Answer 1

You can use the modulus operator to determine if your loop variable ($j) is currently odd or even, and then apply a CSS class as appropriate. In one line, you could change your opening li tag to something like this:

<li class="<? ($j % 2) ? echo "even" : echo "odd"; ?>">

CSS could be applied like this:

.newsfeed li.even{ background: #fff; }
.newsfeed li.odd{ background: #efefef; }
