Im trying to check for multiples of 5. Currently this works.

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="ltn_articles|ltn_bvb" disable="catgories|member_data|trackbacks" sort="desc" dynamic="on" paginate="bottom"}

                            {if count == 5 || count == 10}
                                Multiple of 5
                            {/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries} 

But is there a better function to use for this? Otherwise I would have to do {if count == 5 || count == 10} || {if count == 15 || count == 20} and so forth

You can chain together multiple conditionals, like so:


{if count == 5 || count == 10 || count == 15 || count == 20}

and so on. If you want a different solution, you’ll need PHP:

<?php if (!{count} % 5) { ?>

   This is happens every 5th entry :)

<?php } ?> 

Give that a try.

Also don’t forget the {switch=“option_one|option_two|option_three”} variable as well.

May help out depending on what exactly you need the test for?

Best wishes,
