Ticket: Retrieve count outside of specific block tag

Status	Resolved
Add-on / Version	Bloqs 3.3.0
Severity

Description:
It would be useful to get the block count and total outside of the molecule tag pair.

For example:

{my_bloq_field}
{my_bloq_field:count}
{my_bloq_field:total_rows}

{my_bloq_content}
{heading}
{/my_bloq_content}

{/my_bloq_field}

It seems that the count and totals are only available inside the

{my_bloq_content}

. I’m trying to achieve an “every 2nd block show this” logic. While it could be done inside each molecule that just feels like a lot of redundant code and parsing.

Its already a thing:

{my_bloq_field:total_blocks}

total_rows and total_blocks are actually the same thing.

:count is traditionally used while in a loop, so {my_bloq_field:count} won’t be of any use outside of a tag pair loop.

Did you see the documentation? https://eebloqs.com/documentation/templates

Thanks Brian. Can the count be retrieved inside the Bloq field loop? Unless I’m missing something

{blocks:count}

only works in the molecule tag.

BoldMinded (Brian)

No, sorry. Bloqs doesn’t parse anything that is inside of the main field tag pair, but outside of a block.
