HTML loop using ePages back office

[wallyzebon]

I'm struggling to debug a simple loop in ePages back office. My knowledge of HTML is all self taught, copying and pasting bits of code from here and there, so I'm not too up on the finer points, but I'm not too bad.

This piece of code should show a list of items in three columns, but it is only showing a single column. I can't figure out what is wrong.

I don't understand what the setTLE function is doing and also where it gets #productcount from. I've tried displaying the #productcount variable, but it only shows as text.

Please help. It's doing my head in!


#LOOP(#Products )
#IF(#productcou nt EQ "0")
<TR>
<TD>
First column here
</TD>
<td>
#BEGIN
SetTLE("#produc tcount","1");
#END
#ELSE
#IF(#productcou nt EQ "1")
<TD>
Second column here
</TD>
<td>
#BEGIN
SetTLE("#produc tcount","2");
#END
#ELSE
<TD>
Third column here
</TD>
</tr>
<td>
#BEGIN
SetTLE("#produc tcount","0");
#END
#ENDIF
#ENDIF
#ENDLOOP

I don't know what this ePages program is but it needs to be trashed. It's producing awful code.

Every <td> tag needs a matching/ending </td> tag. Match those up and see if that solves it.

What is ePages? All of that #... will print as plain text is that what you are aiming for? Here is the proper layout for a table:

[html]
<table>
<tr>
<td>
1 column
</td>
<td>
2 column
</td>
<td>
3 column
</td>
</tr>
</table>
[/html]

I think all that extra stuff is code for the ePages program, like PHP, and it gets interpreted.

ePages is a modern version of Intershop

The code is probably my fault as I copied and pasted it from a larger page and I've probably missed part of the table.

The table layout is not important as I know how that works, it is the #LOOP(#Products ) and #IF(#productcou nt EQ "0") code that is confusing me.

Never heard of Intershop either.

Neither have I...
