[Resolved] Removing the last comma from a comma separated list of posts titles in Views

I have two post types - solutions and usages setup in a many to many post relationship.

I have created a view where I am showing details about both post types including the categories they are in and the related posts. So the output on the front end is something like:

Post Title
Categories: Category 1, Category 2, Category 3
Related Solutions: Solution 1, Solution 2, Solution 3,

The list of related posts is produced from a view with a query filter with the options: Select items in the Solution Usages relationship as related items of the current post in the loop.

For the loop I created a content template that simply outputs the title and a comma like this: [wpv-post-title], as there is no option in the query filter to output an array/list of comma separated post titles.

However my issue is that when I display the related solutions a comma appears at the end of the list (as seen above) unlike the categories where an option is given in the dialog box for inserting [wpv-post-taxonomy ] to choose a separator.

Is it possible to use the views conditional shortcode to create a conditional statement that checks if there is one post title not to place a comma but if there is more that one to create a comma separated list?

Hi Justin

We recently added a new output format to Views for just this purpose.

In your View use the Loop Wizard for the output section and choose the final option "List with separators".

That will generate the Loop Output section markup in the format required to produce a list separated by a comma (default).

So the key here is the [wpv-item] shortcode... Thanks, it works perfectly!
