[Solved] How to get field's value count was created by kath

hi there,

let's say i have an image field with zero to six possible values. To find out how many images my item actually has, i currently do this in my template using php:

$i_img_count = count($this->fields->thumbs_path);

This works, but is there a more elegant way i have missed?

Thanks!

Hello

there is no problem using this
but it requires that the field's HTML has been created (=rendered)

the way to do , regardless if the field 's HTML has been created is to use:

Code:

$field_id = 55; // set the field id here
echo  count( $item->fieldvalues[$field_id] );

about raw field value array:

Using the raw value of a field inside a template file or inside a new custom field type
