This is just a tiny thing and not really “support” worthy, but I thought someone might be able to give me a quick fix to let me know what I’m doing wrong.

What I’m trying to do is a simple “top ten” ordered list.  The issue is that when it’s numbered, they all show as 1.

What in the world am I missing?

<h2>Most Popular Posts</h2>
<p>{exp:channel:entries channel="MYCHANNEL" limit="10" orderby="view_count_one" sort="desc"}<br />
<ol><br />
<li>{title}</li><br />
</ol><br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

Thanks in advance if anyone has any insight.  (And if not, ain’t no thang, it doesn’t have to be ordered, I just thought it’d be neat.)

You need the <ol> to be outside the {exp:channel:entries} tag:

<h2>Most Popular Posts</h2>
<p><ol><br />
{exp:channel:entries channel="MYCHANNEL" limit="10" orderby="view_count_one" sort="desc"}<br />
<li>{title}</li><br />
{/exp:channel:entries} <br />
</ol>

Awesome!  TYVM!

I knew it had to be some boneheaded thing I wasn’t seeing.  Thanks much!

Alternatively, you do do something like:

{exp:channel:entries channel="MYCHANNEL" limit="10" orderby="view_count_one" sort="desc"}
{if count=="1"}
<h2>Most Popular Posts</h2>
<p><ol><br />
{/if}<br />
<li>{title}</li></p>

<p>{if count==total_results}<br />
</ol><br />
{/if}<br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

The upside to this is approach is if the channel:entries loop happens to not return anything for some reason you won’t get an empty header/list.

Hey Liberty,

That’s awesome. I am glad that Patrick and Mike could help out here! Love the conditional that Mike used.

If you need anything else, please just let me know by opening a new thread.

Cheers,
