Count variable starting with zero
Feature Requests
Would we be able to get a separate count variable that starts at zero instead of one? Sometimes we are using jquery implementations that require a count starting with zero which means we need to install/leverage a math add-on, when it would be nice for me to just have a variable is zero based.
For whatever it’s worth, any of my add-ons that have loop tags output an {namespace:index}variable that is just that. Would definitely be good to see this go native.
I need to do this. I’m using bxSlider and channel entries to create a slider.
<a data-slide-index=”[count]” href=”“> starts the count at 1, for the bxSlider to work it needs to start at 0.
Is there a way to do this with ExpressionEngine 3.5.6?
Thanks
Wayne.
The way to get this done for now would probably be to use something like this: https://github.com/caddis/math
{exp:channel:entries [param]}
<a
data-slide-index="{exp:math formula='[1] - 1' params='{count}'}"
href="">
{/exp:channel:entries}Thanks TJ.
This would definitely be good to see this native.
I would also like to see {index} or {count_index} as a fairly standard tag throughout EE.
