insert divider only between posts, not at the last post on a page

still haven’t been able to work out a way around this–anyone got any ideas?

Let’s have a link then we can tell what you need.

Are you adding the class to the posts themselves?

I think the basic idea would be that you set up a conditional for adding the class. First count the number of posts that are going to be displayed, and then start a counter to keep track of how many times you add the class to a post. When you get to the last one, don’t add it.

There are a bunch of ways to do this, so it depends on how you want to write it. If it’s not something you can come up with on your own, I can probably give you an example.

might work the same way as adding adsense between posts, but just change the adsence to the divider maybe???

dansinch–no, I’m not adding the class to the posts; it’s in the template. I really want everything to be as automated as possible.

razorrich–this sounds interesting. Is there a way of adding adsense between posts but not at the last one?

What about using a different style for your last post? Let’s imagine that you have this code currently:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post; ?>
<div class="post">
my post content
<div class="divider">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

and that you limit your post numbers per page to 5. Considering this you could set-up your code like this instead:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post; ?>
<?php $postclass = ($post == $posts[5]) ? 'entry-5' : 'entry'; ?>
<div class="<?php echo $postclass; ?>">
my post content
<div class="divider">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

The results should be that posts 1 thru 4 will use “entry” as their class, while post 5 would use “entry-5”. Then yor stylesheet could use something like this:

.entry-5 .divider { display:none; }

I haven’t actually tried this myself, however a post I was reading here is where the thought originated from.

Hope this helps.

Hi cwoodside–I think that’s EXACTLY what I’m looking for! When I try this with my code, however, it seems like I’m somehow failing to close the loop (and my whole page gets filled with divider images for an eternity until I force quit it….)

Would you ever be able to show me where I need to make these changes?

My code is included below:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main"><!-- Main Start -->
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="date"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></div>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a>
<br>
		<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
<!-- E N D O F P O S T I M A G E -->
<div class="divider">&nbsp;</div>
<!-- E N D O F P O S T I M A G E -->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div> <!-- Main End -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
