I'm trying to get entries from two sections and merge them together which is pretty straight forward using the merge filter.

For example, my sections are:

  • News
  • Promoted News

But, my main issue is I only want Entry 1 from Promoted News to appear after 2 entries in News and so on (In a 2 entry increment)

I don't want it like this:

  • News - Entry 1
  • Promoted News - Entry 1
  • News - Entry 2
  • Promoted News - Entry 2
  • News - Entry 3
  • Promoted News - Entry 3
  • News - Entry 4
  • Promoted News - Entry 4
  • News - Entry 5
  • Promoted News - Entry 5

But like this:

  • News - Entry 1
  • News - Entry 2
  • Promoted News - Entry 1
  • News - Entry 3
  • News - Entry 4
  • Promoted News - Entry 2
  • News - Entry 5
  • News - Entry 6
  • Promoted News - Entry 3

I thought about doing it using a conditional and incrementing a variable, but I don't think this would work with pagination so I need to merge them in to one array.

Is it possible to do this? My heads mashed thinking about doing this...

Thanks!

  • Hi Jason, did you ever get an answer to this? I am trying do something similar but with two different entry types, Thanks.

  • Sadly not :( I did consider writing a plugin to do this, but we never got round to it.

Seems like a rather specific edge case, so I'd be surprised if there's something built in (nothing comes to mind). However, you could write a custom twig filter fairly easily to do this.
