Counting the amount of entrys in a TV

Simple example:
I have 3 pictures for a Gallery saved in a MIGX TV.
Now I want to count how many entrys there are inside the TV.

Why?
If there is 1 picture I want to show it as a regular image.
If there are 2 or more pictures I want to display the Gallery.

This question has been answered by Bruno17. See the first response.

I think, I would create a wrapper-snippet, which runs getImageList internally

<?php

$images = $modx->fromJson($modx->getOption('images', $scriptProperties, ''));
$output = '';

if (is_array($images) && count($images) > 0) {

    if (count($images) > 1) {
        $scriptProperties['wrapperTpl'] = $galleryWrapperTpl;
        $scriptProperties['tpl'] = $galleryTpl;
    } else {
        $scriptProperties['wrapperTpl'] = $imageWrapperTpl;
        $scriptProperties['tpl'] = $imageTpl;
    }
    $output = $modx->runSnippet('getImageList', $scriptProperties);
}

return $output;

call it this way with all getImageList - properties + the created properties:

[[yourSnippet?
&galleryWrapperTpl=`yourGalleryWrapperTpl`
&galleryTpl=`yourGalleryTpl`
&imageWrapperTpl=`yourImageWrapperTpl`
&imageTpl=`yourImageTpl`
&images=`[[*yourMigxTV]]`
&tvname=`yourMigxTV`
]]

I've tried it but I might not understand it correctly, thats what my templates look like:

MIGX TV: teaser
Fields: image, title

[[snippetNameHere?
    &galleryWrapperTpl=`galleryWrapperTpl`
    &galleryTpl=`galleryTpl`
    &imageWrapperTpl=`imageWrapperTpl`
    &imageTpl=`imageTpl`
    &images=`image`
    &tvname=`teaser`
]]

galleryWrapperTpl

<div>
    <ul>
        [[+galleryTpl]]
    </ul>
</div>

galleryTpl

<li>
    <img src="[[+image]]" alt="[[+title]]" />
</li>

imageWrapperTpl

<div>
    [[+imageTpl]]
</div>

imageTpl

<img src="[[+image]]" alt="[[+title]]" />

the wrapperTpl has only one placeholder with the name [[+output]]

<div>
    <ul>
        [[+output]]
    </ul>
</div>

Alright you got me a little bit confused here. I've now changed both the wrapped placeholders to "[[+output]]".

your snippet should be called like that, if your MIGX - TV has the name 'teaser'

[[snippetNameHere?
    &galleryWrapperTpl=`galleryWrapperTpl`
    &galleryTpl=`galleryTpl`
    &imageWrapperTpl=`imageWrapperTpl`
    &imageTpl=`imageTpl`
    &images=`[[*teaser]]`
    &tvname=`teaser`
]]
