_day.vm template question

[Evgeniy Strokin <ev...@yahoo.com>]

Hello,
Some times I need to know how many times _day.vm template was called already.
Is any way to get this number?
For example, I have a blog which has 5 days on the first page displayed. In each day I have 2 posts.
Let's say I need to display posts of the latest day (on the top) in diferent color, and all others in other color.
How can I do this?

Thank you,
Gene

Hi Gene,

Not 100% sure if this will work, but when the _day template is parsed
you may be able to get the loop index using the built-in velocity
"$velocityCount" variable, see:

HTH,

Richard
