Content Elements doesn't have a {count} variable

Question

I wanted to insert a related-articles block after the n-th content element using stash. But it seems Content Elements doesn't provide a {count} variable in the elements loop.

Answer 1

I've added a {ce_counter} variable to the elements loop.

Open the ft.content_elements.php file and navigate to the replace_tag function.

Insert $i_counter = 0; just before the foreach $data loop.

In the loop, look for the // Counter section and add:

$i_counter++;
$tagdata_parsed = str_replace('{ce_counter}', $i_counter, $tagdata_parsed);

In the loop, look for the // Parse varibles in conditions sections and add 'ce_counter' => (int) $i_counter as an extra array item.

Now you can use {ce_counter} as a variable in the loop.
