Hi,

I am trying to switch from Smarty to phptal. I am enjoying it a lot in the current project and plan to use it on further developments.

One task always hits me where I end up having to mix the "presentation" back to my PHP code. But maybe there is a phptal-based solution.

In loops, I want to set different "class" attributes at the same time, depending on certain criterias, e.g.

<ul>
<li>Regular</li>
<li class="current">Currently selected item</li>
<li class="last">Last item</li>
</ul>

I can have either "last" set, using:

<ul tal:repeat="item items">
<li
   tal:content="item.content"
   tal:attribute="class php:repeat.item.end ? 'last' : ''"
   >Regular</li>
</ul>

Or have my current flag set, using:

<ul tal:repeat="item items">
<li
   tal:content="item.content"
   tal:attribute="class php:item.isCurrent ? 'current' : ''"
   >Regular</li>
</ul>

I could try some nested "?" expressions, but this turns out to be quite ugly, e.g. if I would have more than 2 classes to set:

<ul tal:repeat="item items">
<li
   tal:content="item.content"
tal:attribute="class php:item.isCurrent ? ( repeat.item.end ? 'last current' : 'current' ) : (repeat.item.end ? 'last' : '')"
   >Regular</li>
</ul>

Any other suggestion on how to acchieve this?

Cheers,
Ernesto
