    Hi again !

    I’m continuing my wonderful uses of your plugin, and it’s still as awesome ! 🙂

    I had a quick question though : is there a way to get the incrementation index of the loop ?
    What I mean by that is that I want to put some code of a field value only on the modulo 3 outputs of the loop (so every 3 results). The final purpose is to generate a row every 3 items.

    Is it possible with an [if something] ? Or is it related to the pagination query (http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/pagination-133)

    Cheers !
    Regards,

    Hello,

    I added a few parameters to the [if] shortcode to achieve what you described. Please see the latest update.

    To display something on every 3 results:

    [loop type="post"]
    [content field="title"]
    [if every="3"]
        <hr>
    [/if]
[/loop]

    In addition, there’s [if first] and [if last] to display something on the first or last post.

    Hopefully these can be combined to do what you wanted. As I was testing these, I realized it’s not so simple to add opening and closing tags around 3 posts at a time, if the total number of posts is not divisible by 3.

    So, please let me know if it works for you.

    As for the pagination add-on, it’s taken me longer than planned, but I’m working on it. 🙂

    Works like a charm ! I’m adding a <div class=”clearfix”></div> every 3 items, and the global container is declared outside the loop, so there’s no issue if the total isn’t %3.

    Thanks again for your reactivity, amazing ! 🙂
