post id number

I’m not an expert on this, but isn’t the whole point of the tag to get the ID number as a result and it sounds like you are trying to overwrite that function to make it result in “test”. I think there must be a better way to do this….

Yeah, what do you want the number for anyway then? Maybe if we knew what the goal was, then we could figure something out.

I was trying to have an ad displayed after every fourth blog post (“test” would have been replaced w/ the ad code), I was going to use gmp_mod with the post id number, but I f0und an easier way to do it:

<?
if ($my_id == 0)
{
echo “<br><br><div align=center>”;
include (‘ad.inc’);
$my_id = 3;
echo “</div><br><br>”;
}
else
$my_id–;
?>

“I don’t see any other template tags that are applicable. Is there an easy way to pull it from the database?”

I would still like to know the answer to her original question…

$post_id doesn’t seem to work, and there’s no tag for the page slug either ??

Maybe I will need to extract the slug from the_permalink() ?

Sounds yucky… ??

$post->ID

That works within The Loop.

I love you, it worked! Thanks.
