Grid layout "almost" working but…

[cosmocanuck]

Hi all! I'm working on a category template based on the info in this great tutorial by Jonathan Perez:

http://surefirewebservices.com/development/genesis-framework/genesis-grid-style-page-template-with-custom-post-type

However, my code must not be quite right as I'm getting all my posts assigned the "first" class, so they all stay in the first column! Here's my little template:

I've used the precise loop logic in Jonathan's example so not sure why the correct classes aren't being assigned... I am only an advanced newbie / junior guru at this point so I hope it isn't something TOO obvious... thanks!

Actually problem is here global $loop_counter; . The variable is not working properly. Please try this code. It'll help you:

function sf_post_class($classes) {
    global $wp_query;
    $classes[] = 'one-third';
    if( 0 == $wp_query->current_post || 0 == $wp_query->current_post % 3 )
	 $classes[] = 'first';

    return $classes;
}

You need to define $loop_counter before using it. Gen 2.0 removed it but kept it in the legacy loop for older verions.

$loop_counter = $wp_query->current_post;

Once that's defined then you can use global $loop_counter

Take a look at this post: http://surefirewebservices.com/development/genesis-framework/easy-genesis-grid-loop-for-your-theme which is a refinement of the grid loop with 2 functions.

Thank you thank you thank you EVERYONE! @genwrock, your code worked perfectly of course. Meanwhile I will check out your links, @suefirewebserv and @braddalton, for deeper understanding and - as always - more learning! Thanks again!

@surefirewebserv, I realized that I should have read the link you posted - Jonathan actually had a link to that updated post at the top of his previous one i'd been working off - which of course IS outdated. Sigh.... Thanks again.
