Article list count and index?
I need the number of articles returned by my txp:article_custom tag and I also need the index of each article. For example if three articles are returned the count would be 3 and the first article would be 0, second would be 1 and third would be 2. 1, 2 and 3 would work as well.
Ideas and suggestions?
Something like
<txp:article_custom category="something">
<txp:if_first_article>
Total Articles = <txp:count />
</txp:if_first_article>
This articles index is <txp:index />
</txp:article_custom>Piwik Dashboard, Google Analytics Dashboard, Minibar, Article Image Colorpicker, Admin Datepicker, Admin Google Map, Admin Colorpicker

Re: Article list count and index?
Set count:
<txp:variable name="count" value="0" />Count:
<txp:article_custom>
<txp:variable name="count" />
<txp:variable name="count" value='<txp:php> echo variable(array("name" => "count"))+1; </txp:php>' />
</txp:article_custom>If you want to output the article count before the article list. You can:
- Put that everything inside another variable, so you can output the results in different order as nothing is output just set into variables.
- Use a plugin to count; rah_function, jmd_count etc. (
<txp:rah_function call="safe_count" table="textpattern" where="category1='something' or category2='something'" />). - Also plugins are offered to automate the variable counting (including adi_calc and rah_function… well core functions that rah_function can call ehehehe).
