On my index.php file I am showing the most recent posts using the standard index.php file. However, I'd like to include a custom post type (named products) in this standard loop. Have about 6 products posts in total and would like to show them in a random order on the first 12 'slots' of the loop.
So a scenario could be:
1. Product
2. Post (most recent)
3. Post (most recent - 1)
4. Product
5. Post
...
12. Product/Post
13. Only posts from here on
... Post (oldest)
I have merged the products and posts in the loop as follow:
global $query_string;
parse_str( $query_string, $args );
$args['post_type'] = array( 'post', 'products' );
query_posts( $args );
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
...
Hope this makes sense. Have no clue on how to approach it. Appreciate ideas!
