I have a row and column set up, for every 3 <div> it is enclosed with a pair <li>

Example

<li>
<div class="thumbnail">{model_icon}<div class="caption">{title}</div></div>
<div class="thumbnail">{model_icon}<div class="caption">{title}</div></div>
<div class="thumbnail">{model_icon}<div class="caption">{title}</div></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="thumbnail">{model_icon}<div class="caption">{title}</div></div>
<div class="thumbnail">{model_icon}<div class="caption">{title}</div></div>
<div class="thumbnail">{model_icon}<div class="caption">{title}</div></div>
</li>

Am having trouble with EE inserting the <li> for me…

Try something like this:

<li>
{exp:channel:entries ... limit="6"}
<div class="thumbnail">
   {model_icon}
   <div class="caption">
      {title}
   </div>
</div>

{if count == "3"}</li><li>{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}
</li>

Makes sense?

Thanks for replying but the thing is I have an unlimited amount of entries to be displayed. If EE cant do it, I can probably modify your code by having php check if ‘count’ is divisible by 3.

Yes, exactly:

<li>
{exp:channel:entries ... limit="6"}
<div class="thumbnail">
   {model_icon}
   <div class="caption">
      {title}
   </div>
</div>

<?php if (!{count} % 3) { echo '</li><li>'; }?>

{/exp:channel:entries}
</li>

Not sure whether it’s because I have my PHP set to generate on Output but the template output stop as soon as it encounters the PHP. I came up with my own variation which works for me, not as pretty as yours:
```
<?php $counter = {count};  if ($counter % 3 == 0){echo "</li><li>";}; ?>
```
