   Hi, thanks for reading this.

   I've been using this handy script from digital mash to keep horizontally gridded posts nicely lined up for a while now. It basically inserts a clearing break every 5 posts, or how ever many you choose.

   However, in a current project, I'm using the attachment toolbox described here to display images and descriptions in a horizontal grid with five columns.

   Problem is I can't combine the two, because the attachment system uses a foreach loop instead of the standard $post loop.

   Here's my code so far:

   <?php
   function attachment_toolbox($size = thumbnail) {
   
   	if($images = get_children(array(
   		'post_parent'    => get_the_ID(),
   		'post_type'      => 'attachment',
   		'numberposts'    => -1, // show all
   		'post_status'    => null,
   		'post_mime_type' => 'image',
   	))) {
   
   		echo '<br class="clearboth" /><h3>Other Editions:<h3><ul class="otherEds">';
   
   		foreach($images as $image) {
   			$attimg   = wp_get_attachment_image($image->ID,$size);
   			$atturl   = wp_get_attachment_url($image->ID);
   			$attlink  = get_attachment_link($image->ID);
   			$postlink = get_permalink($image->post_parent);
   			$atttitle = apply_filters('the_title',$image->post_title);
   			$attcontent = ($image->post_content);
   
   			echo '<li class="onecolfive left fivecolmargin"><div class="bookimage">'.$attimg.'</div>';
   			echo '<p>'.$atttitle.'</p>';
   			echo '<p>'.$attcontent.'</p></li>';
   
   		}
   
   		echo '</ul>';
   	}
   }
   ?>

   If any body knows how I could modify this to insert a clearing break every 5 attachments, I'd be really pleased to learn.

   Thanks!

   J

   Er, figured it out- it's not different at all. Here's what worked for me, in case it's handy for anyone:

   <?php
   function attachment_toolbox($size = thumbnail) {
   
   	if($images = get_children(array(
   		'post_parent'    => get_the_ID(),
   		'post_type'      => 'attachment',
   		'numberposts'    => -1, // show all
   		'post_status'    => null,
   		'post_mime_type' => 'image',
   	))) {
   
   		echo '<br class="clearboth" /><h3>Other Editions:<h3><ul class="otherEds">';
   		$postcounter = 0;
   
   		foreach($images as $image) {
   			$attimg   = wp_get_attachment_image($image->ID,$size);
   			$atturl   = wp_get_attachment_url($image->ID);
   			$attlink  = get_attachment_link($image->ID);
   			$postlink = get_permalink($image->post_parent);
   			$atttitle = apply_filters('the_title',$image->post_title);
   			$attcontent = ($image->post_content);
   
   			echo '<li class="onecolfive left fivecolmargin"><div class="bookimage">'.$attimg.'</div>';
   			echo '<p><strong>'.$atttitle.'</strong></p>';
   			echo '<p>'.$attcontent.'</p></li>';
   			$postcounter++;
   			if ($postcounter % 5 == 0) {;
   				echo '<br class="clearboth" />';
   				};
   		}
   
   		echo '</ul>';
   	}
   }
   ?>
