How to get a total row count from a Low Variables Matrix

Chad Clark 21 Aug 2012 19:53 question, complete

Hello,

I am having trouble figuring out a way to output the total rows from a Low Variables Matrix field. Any help is appreciated.

   Hi Chad,
   
   You'd need to use the {total_rows} var inside a {exp:low_variables:pair} tag:
   
   

   {exp:low_variables:pair var="matrix_var"} 
      {total_rows} 
    {/exp:low_variables:pair}

   Given the nature of how Low Variables handles Matrix fields, wouldn't this repeat the total_rows count by the number of rows in the Matrix?

   It would. But you could add something like {if count == 1} ... {/if} to it, or the Matrix equivalent.

   Would there be any way to invoke the single-tag version through LV (e.g. something like {exp:low_variables:total_rows var="matrix_var"}), or would something like that take an update on the Matrix side of things?

   It'd be a Matrix thing. Something like {exp:low_variables:parse var="matrix_var" method="total_rows"}

   Hi Low,
   
   Thank you!

   Hi guys
   
   I have:
   
   {exp:low_variables:pair var="lv_monday_pt_availability"}
   {total_rows}
   {/exp:low_variables:pair}
   
   But the total rows value prints out twice. See Monday:

   You can use a conditional like so:
   
   

   {if row_count == 1}{total_rows}{/if}

   Fair enough. :)
