Hello -

Rather than getting a total COUNT of query results, I want to get a count of blog entries for each day as organised with a date header. I’m wanting to be able to apply a different div class to every fifth entry, on each day of results. Hope that makes sense.

I’m still using EE 1.6.9.

Thanks for your help.

You could do this with PHP (set to parse on output); perhaps someone else knows of a plugin that would also accomplish it as well.

InstantB,

There is nothing native that is going to help you there I’m afraid. There is the {switch} variable for grabbing every 5th entry but for that to work you would need every day to have multiples of 5 entries each. Other than that you may need the query module or you could use JavaScript to count the entries per day maybe.

If you wish I can move this thread to Community Help to open it out to more members to reply?

Many thanks for your suggestions. Once I worked out there wasn’t a native solution I went down the PHP route which ended up being more elegant than I thought it would be.

Good stuff 😊 Thanks for updating us. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions
