genesis_custom_loop and is_main_query?

[trash]

Hello,
within my functions.php I created a different loop with genesis_custom_loop for a custom post type and its taxonomies, like this:

function book_cat_archive_loop() {
	$taxonomies = get_taxonomy_hierarchy('book-category');
	foreach ($taxonomies as $tax_obj) {
		//get all posts within taxonomy
		$args = 	array('post_type' => 'book',
		  				'tax_query' => array(
			  				array(
				                'taxonomy' => 'book-category',
				                'field' => 'slug',
				                'terms' => $tax_obj->slug,
				            ),
						),
					);
		genesis_custom_loop($args);
	    wp_reset_query();
	}//foreach
}//function

Within another function I have this code: (it returns $classes on the pages where I do not want to have the grid view)

	if( ( ! $grid_args || ! $wp_query->is_main_query() )
		return $classes;

This will be true, because genesis_custom_loop seems to be not the main_query. I therefore have to change the request like this:
if( ( ! $grid_args || ! $wp_query->is_main_query() ) && !$wp_query->is_post_type_archive() )

How can I ensure that the loop within genesis_custom_loop is my main query? I do not fully understand why it is not my main query...

Can somebody enlighten me please?

Thanks!

When WordPress sets up the main query it stores it in two variables: $wp_the_query and $wp_query. The Genesis Custom loop alters the $wp_query variable. is_main_query() compares the value of the current query against $wp_the_query. In your case, since $wp_query <> $wp_the_query, is_main_query() properly returns false.
