NEED HELP with FF matrix/nGen with count variable
Development and Programming
below is my code for my list that will be displaying images, 4 to a row two rows max. I need a class of “last” for the 4th and 8th li. please help as what i have here is not working. I’m currently using the FF Matrix with nGen
<h2>Photos</h2>
<ul>
{sub-photos}
<li class="detailsImages002 {if count == "4" OR count == "8"}last{/if}">
{exp:imgsizer:size src="{sub-photo}" width="125" height="83" alt="{title}"}</li>
{/sub-photos}
</ul>
Have you tried taking out the quotes and use {row_count}?
{if row_count == 4 OR row_count == 8}Some experimenting has shown that row_count start from 0 so you will need -
[if row_count == 3 OR row_count == 7}In fact you can use this same principal to control your header (in case there are no entries)
{sub-photos}
{if row_count == 0}
<h2>Photos</h2>
<ul>
{/if}
<li class="detailsImages002{if count == 3 OR count == 7} last{/if}">
{exp:imgsizer:size src="{photo-img}" width="125" height="83" alt="{photo-title}"}
</li>
{if row_count == total_rows}
</ul>
{/if}
{/sub-photos}Some things to note:
- Add the space for the class within the if statement. That way there won’t be a space if those conditions aren’t met.
- I changed the image and title variable names as you said you were using the Matrix fieldtype so you wouldn’t use the fieldname but instead the cell names.
Let me know if this doesn’t make sense.
In my use I’ve noticed that you need to wrap total_rows and row_count in curly braces when testing against a conditional. For example:
[if {row_count} == 3 OR {row_count} == 7}Cheers Erik 😊
