Pages: problem with template logics

[TAMAN]

Im trying to make a 2 column first featured template using same method as pre installed templates 

this is the codes for example 

index

{{if count($articles)}}
		{{foreach $articles as $id => $record}}
			{{if $id == 0}}
				<div class='ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone'>
				{template="entry" app="cms" location="database" group="twocolumns" params="$record, $database, 0"}
				</div>
			{{else}}
				{{if $id % 2}}
					<div class='ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone'>
				{{endif}}
				{template="entry" app="cms" location="database" group="twocolumns" params="$record, $database, $id"}
				{{if  $id % 2 == 0}}
					</div>
				{{endif}}
			{{endif}}
		{{endforeach}}
	{{endif}}

 

entry 

<div class='{{if $id}}ipsGrid_span6{{else}}ipsGrid_span12{{endif}}'>
	<article>
      ............
    </article>
</div>

looking to the codes everything looks okay this ipsGrid_span6 should be for $id one in index template but it does not work it always gives ipsGrid_span12 for both template in index :/ 

i have even tried to copy paste the same codes from the "category_2_column_first_featured" template to my new created template it just does not work 

why it works with pre installed ones and not when we create a new one??
