Hi there,

Is there an easy way to show the index of a channel entry?

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" dynamic="no" limit="15"}
 {index} - {title}
{/exp:channel:entries}

I want index to be 1 to 15. Thanks in advance!

Unless I am misunderstanding the question you should be able to just use {count}

Thanks a lot for your reply. And yes that is stupidly simple. It doesn’t seem to work properly with pagination though, but at least it’s something.

Thanks

What is happening when you paginate? Shouldn’t be any problems there. If you are referring to it starting back at 1 instead of from the very beginning what you are looking for is {absolute_count} which takes all entries paginated or no into account.

Yeah, that is the case. It starts back at one on every page. The {absolute_count} works for all my regular channel entries, but not for my users list and that’s exactly where I would like to use this. I realize this is sort of out of scope of this forum, since I’m using Solspace’s User module.

We decided to just show the total number of users and I ended up with writing a tiny bit of custom code to get it. In case anyone finds this thread:

{exp:query sql="SELECT count(member_id) AS total_users FROM exp_members"}
 {total_users}
{/exp:query}

So thanks for your help!
