[TYPO3-ttnews] Alternating background colors with tt_news

[Alexandre Bourget]

Hola,

Rhe method I've seen with ###NEWS### and ###NEWS_1,2,3### is good for
more complex solutions. But I found that duplicating the code only for
toggling a class name wasn't going to make things easier to maintain,
especially if I have a bunch of templates to maintain.

The patch just adds a marker that switches from 0 to 1, easily add the
possibilty to create two-row background-color toggling, without
duplicating code.

Have I missed something else in the tt_news plugin ?
