loops inside the loop

  • i want my loop to display 4 posts, then echo </div><div class=small4″>
    until there is no more posts. for now, it works only one time.

    my code:

    <div class="small4"> 

<?php $split = ceil( count($posts) / 4 ); ?>

<?php if (is_category('photos1')) {query_posts ('category_name=photos1');} ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>

   <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
     <div class="entry">
       <?php the_content(''); ?>
     </div>
   </div>
   <div class="spacer"></div>

<?php if( $post == $posts[$split] ) :
 echo "</div><div class=\"small4\">" ?>

<?php  endif; ?>	

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

</div>

    I found the answer

    <div class="small4"> 

<?php if (is_category('photos1')) {query_posts ('category_name=photos1');} ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>

			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_content(''); ?>

					<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
				</div>

			</div>
		<div class="spaceit"></div>

<strong><?php
$count++;
$y = 4;
$r = fmod($count, $y);
if ($r==0)
{
echo '</div><div class="small4">';
}
?></strong>

		 <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

		</div>

    I’m glad you made it yourself. Do you mind share why do you wanna do so? Any demo?

    Another way to loop is like this:

    $count++;
if ($count==3)
{
$count=0;
echo '</div><div class="small4">';

    What does it mean? If count is 3, that mean every 4th times it will reset to 0 and count again.

    ?? maybe it will be faster than doing fmod function ??

    i tried urs and i had to change the 3 for a 4 to make it work. seems longuer. maybe an illusion.

    here’s a demo : https://baa-li.com/test/photos1/

    the code on the template category :

    <?php get_header(); ?>

<!--  photo1  cat  -->

	<div id="content" class="catphotos">

	<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=photos1&p=4'); while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

		<div class="small1">

			<h2>Photos 1</h2>

			<div class="spaceit"></div>

			<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_content(''); ?>

					<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
				</div>

			</div>
		</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

 		<div class="small4"> 

<?php if (is_category('photos1')) {query_posts ('category_name=photos1');} ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>

			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_content(''); ?>

					<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
				</div>

			</div>
		<div class="spaceit"></div>

<?php
$count++;
$y = 4;
$r = fmod($count, $y);
if ($r==0)
{
echo '</div><div class="small4">';
}
?>

		 <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

		</div>

	</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
