I am using channel entries to store form submissions, as it gives me a lot more freedom this way.

My question is if there is a way to count the total number of fields?

Basically i need to create a status bar of how much has been entered (completed) for the entry. So total fields / vs number of fields complete.

I know i could iterate through every field name and add to a variable (number), and use a global variable for the total number. Just wondered if there is a less manual way of approaching this?

Any ideas?

Thanks Mark

Just thought i would post my solution… Is a bit quirky, but it works well.

I used the custom_fields loop in SafeCracker to do my counting… this in turn made my status bar (how much of the form filled in) - embed code below -

May be useful for someone.
