Hi, I have a bit of a conundrum. I am trying to get my site page to look like this:

First 5 rows
(advertisment)
Next 10 rows
(advertisment)

Can anyone advise the easiest (least code required) way to achieve this? I tried to use row-id but I have multiple row categories so the id is not consistent (eg. it might go 6,7,43,2,18 etc. which is where I got stuck). I'm wondering how I can get it to count the rows as the number the query has outputted so far instead of the db id's...

Nvm, I got it working by declaring an int variable outside the repeat region loop and getting it to increment by 1 inside the repeat region loop and then put the ad in the repeat region loop for conditions if counter1 = 5 or 15 etc.

if you had to add a bunch of conditions like...

if($i == 5 || $i == 10 || $i ==15 || ... || $i == 50000000) .....

you need to use 'mod'

if($i % 5 == 0)

If you are unfamiliar... it means if $i divided by 5 returns a remainder of zero (ie is divisible by 5) then execute..

Why do I need to use mod? The first line above does it. mod seems superfluous

you don't need to use mod.. but if you have a dynamic data driven site... auto-generating the rows, you need to use mod.

What I mean is.. if your site visitors are generating the rows... you could end up with more rows than you are anticipating. mod works to infinity. If you yourself are generating the rows simply with your code, then don't worry about changing your code

The only difference is that if I use if($i == 5 || $i == 14 || $i ==17 || ... I can have different intervals I want, but if I were to use if($i % 5 == 0) then that would display every 5 rows, is that correct?
