    I have JS that I need to have a count but it needs to start from 0 and not 1. Does anyone know how to do this. I would be fine just subtracting 1 from {count}but have not figured out how to do it.

    Thanks

    Hi akrug23,

    What version of EE are you using?

    Also, can you post your code so we can understand what you are trying to do please.

    Thank you,

    Mike

    Hi, akrug23 - this isn’t possible out of the box, it would require some PHP for sure.  I’ve gone ahead and moved this down to Community Help for you for some more community input.

    I figured it out. I had to use JS to subtract 1 from the number that it printed out.

    Basically I am working on a site that has a JS audio player on it and the JS was reading through an array and the array is being populated by EE. I was needing the position in the array to start at 0.

    I am using EE 2 the newest version.

    Here is the code.

    {exp:channel:entries channel="artists" limit="1" disable="categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination"}
      {a_mp3s}
        {"position":"{count}","mp3":"{url}","trackinfo":"{author} | {title}","id":"{count}"}{if count != total_files},{/if}
      {/a_mp3s}
    {/exp:channel:entries}
