[SOLVED] news module: show first 3 items with defferent template then the rest

I would like to give the first three news items a different markup then the others.
This is a smarty question.
What is the code for that?
I understand how to have the first item have a different markup then the rest.
Code: Select all
{foreach from=$items item=entry name=foo}
{if $smarty.foreach.foo.first}
...
{else}
...
{/if}
{/foreach}
Now I would like to have the first 3 items.

You can add key=i to your foreach statement, and then a nested if statement to count the iterations of the loop (assuming that your array is a normal numerical array, where the keys are 0,1,2,3...)
Code: Select all
{foreach from=$items item=entry key=i name=foo}
{if i < 3}
{* Markup for first three items *}
{else}
{* Markup for rest *}
{/if}
{/foreach}
See

Thanks tallphil for the quick reply.
However, it's not working. It's now displaying all posts with the markup for the first three items
I have read the smarty docs but I need some help

Oops, probably because I missed the dollar sign off the i... Try:
Code: Select all
{foreach from=$items item=entry key=i name=foo}
{if $i < 3}
{* Markup for first three items *}
{else}
{* Markup for rest *}
{/if}
{/foreach}
