Page Reference Field Item Number?

[wesp]

Hello everyone,

Is there a way to access the key number of an item in a page reference field and then output it as a value?
So for example I want to automatically output the number 1 if the referenced page is the first in the list and have it be updated when the list is reordered via drag and drop.

Thanks in advance!

In the frontend? Or right in the backend GUI, whenever you re-order page references?

Mainly in the frontend, but both would actually be nice, if that's possible

You're nearly answering your own question there. The key is the position number in the field (zero-indexed like all arrays).

Using this field as an example...

The key is the position:

yes that works!! thanks

the => command was what I was missing, I had actually tried to get the $key with a bunch of other commands and didn't know about this one
