I have a problem in my template (wordpress).
I want to create a portfolio page which contains 3 columns and which can display posts in my portfolio page (without jumping a new page). And I need to repeat these three posts after each third post. I will assign “hidden” class to my duplicate posts and when clicking at the column, class shall set as “block”.
I have a code:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<section> <div class="container container-bazar container-gallery"><?php
$array = array();
$count = 0;
$i = 0;
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'gallery',
);
$gallery = new WP_Query( $args );
if($gallery->have_posts()) :
while($gallery->have_posts()) :
$gallery->the_post(); ?>
<div class="col-1 boxes<?php if( $count%3 == 0 ) { echo '-1'; }; $count++; ?>">
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<figure class="indent-bot">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="nofollow">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(array(380,220,true)); ?>
</a>
</figure>
<div class="col-1-content">
<strong class="title-3">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="nofollow">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</strong>
<div class="entry">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="nofollow">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</a>
</div><!-- .entry -->
</div><!-- .col-1-content-->
</div><!-- .post -->
</div> <!-- .boxes -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php while($gallery->have_posts()) :
$gallery->the_post();?>
<?php $imgaddr1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'imgaddr1', true);
$imgaddr2 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'imgaddr2', true);
$imgssilka1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'imgssilka1', true);
$imgssilka2 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'imgssilka2', true);
$namecolor1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'namecolor1', true);
$namecolor2 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'namecolor2', true);
$numbercolor1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'numbercolor1', true);
$numbercolor2 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'numbercolor2', true); ?>
</div>
<div class="full clearfix">
<div class="inner">
<figure class="indent-bot1">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="nofollow">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(array(960,690)); ?>
</a>
</figure>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-5">

<div class="col-md-7 border-left">

<img src="<?php echo $imgaddr1; ?>">
</a>
<div class="txt">
<strong><?php echo $namecolor1; ?></strong>
<span><?php echo $numbercolor1; ?></span>
</div>
</li>
<li class="last-child">
<a href="<?php echo $imgssilka2; ?>" class="img-block">
<img src="<?php echo $imgaddr2; ?>">

<div class="txt">

</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>

</div>
</div><!-- .inner -->
</div>
<div class="container container-bazar container-gallery">
<?php endwhile;
else:
endif; ?>
</div><!-- .container -->
</section>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
but this code displays posts sequentially.
This is quite an unusual setup which had me thinking. There is a way without rerunning the loop
HERE IS HOW
You need to run your loop only once. In stead of the default loop, we will pull out our posts array from our query and run our posts through a
foreachloop. This is where we will start thingsWe need to split our content up so we can get two blocks with post data, and this need to be saved into an array which we will use later. To achieve this, build two concatenated strings of data ( one string with the first block of data and the second one with the second block of data ) which will be saved in two separate variables.
Once this is done, we need to add our divs to form blocks of posts containing three posts, each with a unique class. This goes for both sets of string
Now we need to calculate new array keys so we can build a new array of post data sorted so we have a sequence of a block of post data with three posts from string one, then a block of post data with the same three posts from string two etc
Finally, because our array of posts is still mixed and is out of order, we will sort the array so the keys are numerical, then we can use a last
foreachloop to output our post dataHERE IS THE CODE
Just a note or two before I post the code
You need to modify the classes etc to suite your needs
The code is not fully tested, but the div blocks and sorting works as expected
I have commented the code to make it easier to follow
Finally, the code
As we all know, WordPress is an open source tool and all plugins are available to manage such formatting.
I recommend to go with plugins to manage your requirements. I have used columns plugin for formatted output.
I got the total number of records and made the loop.
Inside the loop, two-cycle.
First loop displays a table. The second cycle displays a list.
