Counter in Ditto tpl

Sorry if this should be obvious to me, but I need to get the output from Ditto numbered.

I need to display a picture for each item, like <img src="assets/images/picNo[+itemOutputNumber+].gif" />.

I made a quick fix by adding a number in the description field to each document beeing outputed and then used <img src="assets/images/picNo[+description+].gif" in the template.

Works fine, but is an ugly solution, and I would need to edit *lots* of docs to add the number in description field.

What is the correct solution for this? Is there a built in "counter"?

Thanks!

Not sure if you found the answer, but as it is not here, this should work. Ditto 2.
placeholder "ditto_sort" seems to contain a numeric representation of the order of the documents. ie, 0,1,2...7,8,9. effectively a counter.
in the place holder.

<br /><img src="assets/images/picNo[+ditto_sort+].gif"<br />

your ditto image call may need to include

<br />[!Ditto? &paginate=`1` ... !]<br />

hello uncle

have you found the [+ditto_iteration+] placeholder in the meanwhile?

ciao, Stefan

Thank you for your answers, that will do it!

So if I’m using [+ditto_sort+] or [+ditto_iteration+] in my template chunk, I should be seeing numbers?

Not seeing anything in Ditto 2.0.2 (or 2.0.3) and MODx 0.9.6.1. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Nevermind: While I’m not sure where ditto_sort works, I just saw that Ditto 2.1b2 has the ditto_iteration counter placeholder, so now it works.
