Count migx data sets

Hey there,

for my Site I use the plugin MIGX to became a background-slider.
But when my customer only made 1 data set, then I need a special value in my jQuery-Script.

So I need a outputfilter for migx, which allowed me to say if(dataset < 1){ ...}else{}

Is there any way to make this?
I've searched a long time, but nothing found for that problem…

Hope you can help me.

Kind regards,
z.

If you have some kind of class for each slide, maybe you can count them with jQuery and add a code when the class count is < than 2.

No, that doesn't work for me. I need the value before the DOM is ready.
Also I think I don't need a outputfilter. I think it's more a snippet, which let me count how many data sets for the actual ID is there…

Sorry for my bad english wink

getImageList sets a totalvar-placeholder. default is

[[+total]]

its also easy to create an output-filter:

<?php
$items = $modx->fromJSON($input);
return count($items);

use it this way:

[[*migxTV:countJsonItems]]

Sorry, but I don't understand anything.

What I want:
Im on a site. This site has a MIGX-TV. And the customer create 3 datasets.

So, I need the number, how many datasets are in my TV.

And then I wanny write in my snippet

<?php
if(count < 1){
	return 'bla';
}else{
	return 'blub';
}
?>

@Bruno17
Thanks for your reply, but I have no idea, how I can use your code for my problem. I need a more detailed explanation…

create a snippet

<?php
$items = $modx->fromJSON($input);
if(count($items) < 2){
    return 'bla';
}

return 'blub';

call it

[[yourSnippet? &input=`[[*MIGXtv]]`]]

Hmh no, that doesn't work for me.
I test the values with

return count($items);

and on every page I became the value 1. But that isn't correct. On my startpage I have 3 datasets. On a other page I have 4 and so on…
But the script return everytime the value 1…

what's the output of your MIGX-TV when you put its TV-tag into your template?

[[*yourMIGXTV]]

Then I become an array:

[{"MIGX_id":"1","title":"Image 1","image":"files/tmp/tunnel.jpg"}]
