My Problem:
I have a structure as follows:
Main Category Folder
Sub Category 1
Folder 1
Child 1
Child 2
Child 3
Child 4
Folder 2
Child 1
Child 2
Sub Category 2
Folder 1
Child 1
Child 2
The main category folder re-directs to the first Sub category folder.
I was hoping to use the "ChildrenCount" snippet to show how many folders are in the individual Sub Categories. My output will be "
Page 1 of [[ChildrenCount]]"
According to Docs, the snippet should set the Parent ID dynamically if not set using "&parentId=`ID HERE`" but in my case it seems to set the folders ID where the snippet is called.
example:
Sub Category 1 (id 10) -> Folder 1 (id 11) -> Child 1 (id 12)
Snippet is called in "id 11" which should then output "2" (2 folders - Folder 1 and Folder 2) - what I get is "4", meaning the children
My problem is that the snippet isn’t picking up the parent ID - my example would be in this case "id 10".
If I add my "id 10" to "&parentId=`10`" then the results are correct, the problem is, I need the dynamic funtionality as I have multiple Sub Categories.
I suppose I could use PHX and say "IF THIS THEN THAT" but I am not a savvy user of PHX and sadly not a PHP’er.
Any and all help is appreciated.
I hope the above is understandable.
Cheers
