I have a html structure where two entries are grouped into one div, so what I do is this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="bullets" dynamic="no"}
     {switch='<div class="bullets">|'}
           <div class="col-lg-6 col-sm-6">
                                ...some content...
           </div>
     {switch='|</div>'}
{/exp:channel:entries} 

This works great as long as I have an even number of entries in the channel. If I have an odd number the closing is not being added.

I was wondering if I can somehow do something like this:

{if total_results mod 2 != 0}
   </div>
{/if}

to make sure I have a closing tag if I have an odd number of entries.

Any suggestions?

  • I solved it myself using the MX Calculator[1] Plugin and adding this here before the end of the loop: {!-- add a div if the number of entries is odd --} {if "{count}" == "{total_results}"} {if "{exp:mx_calc expression='mod({total_results},2)'}" != "0"} </div> {/if} {/if}

Well, if you want a modulus operator, use a modulus operator!

{if total_results % 2 != 0}
   </div>
{/if}

Maybe you can find it easier this way:

{exp:channel:entries channel="bullets" dynamic="no"}
     {if count = 1 OR count % 2 == 1}
     <div class="bullets">
     {/if}
           <div class="col-lg-6 col-sm-6">
                                ...some content...
           </div>
     {if count == total_results OR count % 2 == 0}
     </div>
     {/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}
