Who's stupid, me or {cycle}?

I'm using this:
Code: Select all
{foreach from=$archives item="archive"}
<div class="archive-year {cycle values="left,center,right"}">
[...]
{/foreach}
to generate
http://matthias.yellowled.de/archives/#bydate. Looking into the source, you'll notice that the classes actually start with .center instead of .left.
Is there something I don't see or why is cycle behaving unexpectedly here?

That does seem strange. Does it always start with the second one if you change the order? How about if you give it a name, ie {cycle name="blah" values="left,center,right"} How about single quotes instead of double since the class name is double quoted? I know these all sound like stupid suggestions, but I have seen some pretty crazy stuff fixed by some pretty unlikely things.

Erratic, too. Works like it's supposed to in my dev blog (which, however, has only three years).

1. No, it doesn't, 2. generates the expected order and 3. doesn't do a thing. So giving the cycle a name fixes the problem, but why ..? Oh, hold on. I know.
The archive page's .tpl only uses this cycle, but it fetches the output of the categories plugin, which also uses a cycle. So it's two cycles in one page (which means they should be named), but in different .tpl files. Tricky.
Thanks for pushing me in the right direction!

Glad it worked out. Nice looking archive page too!
