Mark Huot file extension - COUNT problem...
Development and Programming
Hi
I’m using the file extension to allow users to upload multiple images at once. I need to use a switch in the outputted template to assign a class to every third image, but for some reason the last image in the array resets the count to 1.
So if I upload three images, the output
{count}reads 1,2,1
The switch is also therefore affected - if I have
class="{switch="classone|classtwo|classthree"}"the output goes classone, classtwo, classone
Can anyone help? I’ve looked at the source code but the only relevant line I can find is this:
'count' => $count+1,Thanks in advance 😊
There’s been lots of glitches regarding counts with the extension, especially when you add more files later on or delete some. The best workaround has been to use PHP to do the counting.
Hi slapshotw - thanks for getting back to me. I recently came to that conclusion and wrote some php to get around the problem 😊
Hey,
I had the same problem, and I think I have found a solution. I think the trouble occurs in the lines where the array is flipped and flipped back again.
I changed line 1223 from:
'count' => $count+1,to
'count' => $count,and after line 1237, which reads:
$var = array_flip($var);I added:
$var['{count}']++;
I vouch for the above method - it worked for me… Now to resolve why when uploading multiple images at once it overwrites them all with the same image!
Above method works so far with one caveat for me however: Can no longer use the count consistently as a conditional.
E.g. in:
{if count == #} ...The count in {if count} will be 1 less than {count}. So to keep things consistent you should resort to:
{if "{count}" == "#"} ...
