Count Loop with Repeater Field

  • There is a function for [loop-count] to count the # of loops. This is great to give each output a unique ID for CSS.

    I’m using the [repeater] field to build a frequently asked questions page. I need to have each question and answer a unique ID. Is there a similar function as [loop-count] for the [repeater] shortcode?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I’m almost there! I found the math functions, it is working but for some reason it returns “0” in my <label for=…> html? Is it a format thing?

    <div class='centerplease'>
  FAQ accordion
</div>
<br>

<div class="faq-content">
[repeater faqs]

<div>
  <input type="checkbox" id="question[calc]total[/calc]" name="q"  class="questions">
    <label for="question[calc]total[/calc]" class="question">
[field "question"]
  </label>
  <div class="answers">
    [field "answer"]
[calc]total=total+1[/calc]

  </div>
</div>

[/repeater]
</div>

    Basically each question and answer pair, I need to have a unique ID to match the checkbox and the label.

    Not sure if your code

    [calc]total=total+1[/calc]

    could work, but I would use this for calculating a counter.

    [set total][calc][get total] +1[/calc][/set]

    Also you should look after your for= code.

    question[calc]total[/calc]

    What should be calculated. If you just want to call total use [get total]
