Hi All,

I know that this {count} inside nested loops has been covered before but all that i have read is that you cannot use count inside a nested tag that also uses {count}, eg:

{exp:channel:entries}
    {exp:channel:entries}
        {count}
    {/exp:channel:entries}
{/exp:channel:entries}

now that is simple to under stand, however i am using a custom built module that looks similar to the following:

{exp:custom:module}
   {exp:channel:entries
      disable="category_fields|member_data"
      dynamic="no"
      limit="{lv_settings_display_limit}"
      orderby="title|entry_date"
      paginate="bottom"
      sort="asc|desc"
      search:cf_tour_code='={search_tourCodes}'
    } 
      {count}
    {/exp:custom:entries}
{/exp:custom:module}

the custom module only returns {search_tourCodes} and doesn’t have a {count}, but count is always displayed as 1

any ideas? or is it that you cannot nest the entries tag inside any other tag?

Hi All,
I figured this out.. really should have read the template class docs better, but it turns out using:

$output = $this->EE->TMPL->parse_variables(
            $this->EE->TMPL->tagdata,
            $variables
        );

automatically gives you the {count} regardless of if you wanted it, so i changed that to:

return  str_replace(LD.'riv_search_tourCodes'.RD, $TourCode,  $this->EE->TMPL->tagdata);

and everything worked as expected.
