I have made a overide template for node/view/full/folder

I want to list the child objects of a spesific node in a table with two columns.

I tried witht the following code:

{def $column=1}
            <table class="class-butikker">
                {section var=child loop=$list_items sequence=array(bglight,bgdark)}
		    {if eq($column, 1)}
		    {set $column=2}
		    <tr>
			<td>
			{node_view_gui view=line content_node=$child}
			</td>
		    {else}
		    {set $column=1}
			<td>
			{node_view_gui view=line content_node=$child}
			</td>
		    </tr>
		    {/if}
                {/section}
            </table>

It seems that eZ Publish automatically closes the tags. The result is that i get one column and not two.

Does anyone know of a clever way to solve this?

I think you have a bug in your if-statement. It forces eZ to only input one td-tag for each tr. Not sure what you need the $column for. Try:

{def $column=1}
<table class="class-butikker">
  {section var=child loop=$list_items sequence=array(bglight,bgdark)}
 <tr>
    {set $column=1}
    <td>
       {node_view_gui view=line content_node=$child}
    </td>
    
    {set $column=2}
    <td>
	{node_view_gui view=line content_node=$child}
    </td>
  </tr>
 {/section}
</table>

This will result in two identical columns.

Two identical columns is of no use.

This is how i wanted it to work:

if column variable equals 1:
-insert tr start tag
-insert td
-set column variable=2

if column variable equals 2:
-insert td
-insert tr end tag
-set column variable=1

This should result in a table with two columns, but eZ automatically closes the tr after the first td.

I guess i coluld get a table-like result by floating the div's with css. But that does not work properly with all browsers.

Sorry, I read it too quick.

I've never heard of ez automatic closing tags. Actually your code looks ok.

Are you sure templates/node/view/line.tpl (or an override) doesn't contain any <tr></tr>?

Thats all I can think of right now, but I admit I don't think that's the problem :-)
Could you post the relevant html-output?
