how to list events in a grid

Resolved

(@darksigns)

Hi all,

I wrote a simple code to list events in 2 column grid but I miss something, there is nothing placed in my second column just in the first.
here is my content-grid template code:

<?php
$args = array(	'post_type' => 'event',
				'posts_per_page' => 10,
				'meta_query' => array(
					array( 'key' => '_start_ts', 'value' => current_time('timestamp'), 'compare' => '>=', 'type'=>'numeric' )),
				'orderby' => 'event_start_date',
				'order' => 'DESC'
 				 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
$num_cols = 2; // set the number of columns here
for ( $i=1 ; $i <= $num_cols; $i++ ) :
echo '<div id="col-' . $i . '" class="col" >';
$counter = $num_cols + 1 - $i;
	while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
		if( $counter%$num_cols == 0 ) :
		// begin of core posts output ?>
		<strong><?php echo EM_Events::output( $args );?></strong>
       		<?php endif; $counter++; endwhile;?>
		<?php rewind_posts();
echo'</div>'; endfor; ?>
    <?php if (  $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
	<div id="nav-below" class="navigation">
		<?php if(function_exists('page_navi')) { page_navi(); } else { ?>
		<div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">&larr;</span> Older posts', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
		<div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
		<?php } ?>
        </div><!-- #nav-below -->
	<?php endif;?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

any ideas?

thank you

Update:

I made my code as simple as I could, to find out the error,
when using this as my page 1 have 1 event saved on my site and this silly code prints that event 2 times in each column.
```
<?php
global $post ;
$args = array('post_type' => 'event');
$loop = get_posts( $args );
$num_cols = 2; // set the number of columns here
for ( $i=1 ; $i <= $num_cols; $i++ ) :
echo '<div id="col-' . $i . '" class="col" >';
$counter = $num_cols + 1 - $i;
foreach ( $loop as $post):
		if( $counter%$num_cols == 0 ) :
		// begin of core posts output
			em_events( $args );
		endif; $counter++;
endforeach;
echo'</div>'; endfor;
?>
```

I may be missing something but since you’ve set $num_cols = 2, you’re forcing the code to run twice.

hm,

if I put inside the the_content() it runs well and shows the correct things but everything with the maps and so on
but when i use it with the include’events-lsit.php it runs 3 times:)
ok than how can I do it?
