Hi,

Is there a way to have variable, i.e. {my_count} where I can keep on adding by 1 (one) everytime it is being called for. Example:

{my_count} = 0

{exp:channel:entries}
...
{my_count} = {my_count} + 1
...
{/exp:channel:entries}

I do not want to use PHP function if possible for this purpose.

Thanks

There is an in built function to identify count:

Cheif,

What if in the case that it is outside the {exp:channel:entries} function? Basically, it’s general variable for counting purpose.

As it’s outside the core functionality of the system ie outside of entries tag, you’ll have to rely on good ol fashioned PHP or JS.

Maybe if you can give us a heads up on what you’re trying to achieve some more light may be shed.

Cheif, yes I guess I don’t have much choice in this. Thanks.

This would require some PHP, I am afraid. Moving to the CodeShare Corner.
