Topic summary
A developer is working on a Shopify section that alternates image and text positioning in a block layout. The code uses a modulo operation to determine odd/even iterations, placing images on the right and text on the left for odd blocks, with the reverse for even blocks.
Key Implementation Details:
- Uses
{% assign evens = forloop.index | modulo: 2 %}to alternate layouts - Conditionally renders image and text columns based on the modulo result
- Includes settings for block images, titles, and content
Alternative Approach Mentioned:
- Using
{% capture %}blocks with a section setting (optionid == 'image_first') to control whether images appear first
The posts include code snippets and reference images, though some text appears corrupted or reversed. The discussion focuses on technical implementation of alternating left/right layouts in Shopify’s Liquid templating system.
