Page count and position in list

[a-ok]

Hi folks,

I am trying to create a counter for items within a section... so say you have a Projects section, on each 'project detail', I'd have a counter and it would say this is page 1/25, for example.

I have the total count, but I'm not sure how to echo out which position/number the current page you are viewing is.

<?php echo $page->eq() ?> / <?php echo $page->parent->children()->count(); ?>

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi Richard,

Try $page->sort if they are manually sorted. Otherwise you'd need to find the position of the current page inside the $page->parent->children() array.

Hi Wanze, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately sort doesn't work. Do you know how'd find the position of the current page inside the children() array? Is this in the documentation somewhere?

You're welcome. I often use the cheatsheet to lookup stuff: http://cheatsheet.processwire.com/

Maybe the following works:

$children = $page->parent->children();
$total = $children->count();
$pagePos = $children->getItemKey($page) + 1; // Assume the keys are zero based

That's really great, Wanze. I didn't think about getItemKey so that has helped me loads. Really appreciate the time here.
