This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
How to display posts of another type (banner ads) every nth iteration of a View output?
Solution:
The outer View displays the main posts.
In the Loop Output section the wpv-loop tag includes a wrap=n attribute and a wpv-item index=n shortcode is used to display a second View (displaying one banner ad) every nth iteration of the outer loop.
The problem is that the same ad will be shown for each iteration. The following code (targeting the second View) will advance the ad shown each time.
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query_post_process', 'tssupp_iterate_posts', 101, 3 );
function tssupp_iterate_posts( $query, $view_settings, $view_id ){
global $iteration;
if ( 158377 == $view_id ) { // Edit ID
if ( !isset( $iteration ) ) {
$iteration = 0;
}
$iteration++;
if ( $iteration > count( $query->posts ) ) {
$iteration = 1;
}
$query->posts = array( $query->posts[ $iteration - 1 ] );
$query->found_posts = 1;
$query->post_count = 1;
}
return $query;
}
