anyone ever seen a blog where posts displayed inline 3 in a row?

Yes, all I have found were horizontal layouts, not once have I found a blog where the horizontal line dropped to start a new line.

I am going to start working on a modified loop category template, that displays 3 thumbnail images in a row, and has 12 items on a page. It will use 4 (or less, depending on the number of posts in a category) get_posts(“category=10&numberposts=3″) calls with each next call including “&offset=x” where x is the number of posts that have already been output.

@samaritan
If I am totaly wrong, please provide examples of a standard loop allowing formatting of a specific number of posts (ie. inserting a seperator between posts 5 and 6, or hilighting every 8th post).

You mean like the countless examples of Loops that insert adsense code after every x posts? For instance: https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/adsense/

Adding a counter and if statement is all that’s going on there. You don’t need to fetch x articles at a time.

Thank you! That is what I was looking for. In that case, I could find out if postnum is devisable by 3 and add a CSS clear element. Right?

Or, I suppose that if the postnum == 3 it could be reset to 1, rather than continually incrementing.

I set $postnum = 1; $columns = 3; after header, but before have_posts().

After the post itself, I have:

if ($postnum == $columns) {
echo ‘
< css clear element using hr >
‘;
$postnum = 1;

} else $postnum++;

(enclosed in php script tags, of course)

Here is an example:

https://www.beesnest.org/go/gallery/clothing/

I have a gallery_item class in my stylesheet:

#content .gallery_item {
float:left;
width:185px;
}

At some point I may add a gallery specific id and move the gallery_item class

Finally solved this issue that turned out to be simple thanks to the guys at the CSSCreator forums.
I’ll just link to the thread: https://www.csscreator.com/node/18253

Hmmm. And you (as well as the folks on that forum) think that the wp forum should have done the css work for you? This is a wp forum NOT a css ditto. It’s nice that you got your problem worked out, but the snide remarks are specious, superfluous, and snarky.

!!? God knows what you’re talking about vkaryl, but it’s clear you’re really snarky for that matter…
I guess I just got confused by the forum title: Themes and Templates — XHTML and CSS
