Thread

Hi There, I’m working on a rotating banner that numbers the images in the rotation. I was wondering if there is a tag that I can add to the list item that will add the incremental number, depending on the number of uploaded images.

I.E. If there are 3 images uploaded, the List items would be numbered 1 | 2 | 3.

Thanks in advance.

The {count} variable should work here:

<ul>
{exp:channel:entries channel="mychannel"}
<li>{title} ({count})</li>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</ul>

Should output:

Title (1)
Title (2)
Title (3)

Thank you for the response. Sadly this doesn’t seem to work. I tried that a little earlier. The following is the code. Do you happen to see anything glaringly obvious?

{exp:channel:entries channel="industrial" limit="1"}
           
           
          <!--image rotation-->
          <div id="lofslidecontent45" class="lof-slidecontent">
      <div class="preload">
       <div></div>
      </div>

      <!-- N&C Slide Images --> 
      <div class="lof-main-outer">
       <ul class="lof-main-wapper">        
        {industrial_banners} 
         {banner_image}             
         <li>{path}_banners/{filename}.{extension}</li>
         {/banner_image}
        {/industrial_banners}
       </ul>   
      </div>
      <!-- END of N&C Slides --> 
         
      <!-- start of N&C NAVIGATOR -->
      <div class="lof-navigator-wapper">
            <div class="lof-navigator-outer">
                  <ul class="lof-navigator">
                   {industrial_banners} 
           {banner_image}
                        <li><span>{count}</span></li>
                       {/banner_image}
                      {/industrial_banners} 
                  </ul>
            </div>
       </div> 
       <!-- End of N&C NAVIGATOR -->
       
     </div>         
          <!--end of image rotation-->
         
          <h1>{industrial_title_{country_code}}</h1>
          {industrial_body_{country_code}}
    
    {/exp:channel:entries}

{count} only works (I believe) with Channel loops so as your example only has one “loop”/entry the count will always be 1.

How are you generating your {industrial_banners} tag? If you’re using Matrix it has it’s own counting mechanism where row_id might work - see http://pixelandtonic.com/matrix/docs/templates

You’re a Genius. I’m using Matrix, so the row_id worked perfectly. Thank you so much for your help. This one was driving me crazy.

Glad you got it sorted - the best fruit is often obscured by leaves 😊

AHHH Man…. It happened that I was looking at my first entry, so the images showed up as 1 | 2 | 3. If I now go to another entry page that has it’s own rotating banner the numbers show up as 4 | 5.

Any other thoughts. Sorry.

Just found the answer from your last link. You need to use the Matrix {row_count}.

Thanks again for your help and sending me in the right direction.
