Hi, I need your help in figuring out how to get thable rowkey on CF8. 

I need this to create a simple code thet would echo a row number for my table.In CF6 the code was :

$rowKey = $this->get('submissions_list.key');

$rowKey = $rowKey + 1; // row number starts from 1, not by default 0

echo $rowKey;

To replicate this on CF8, If I understand correctly, I should do the following:

1. set the Table name with Wizard Settings>Name - submissions_list
2. add the table column > Data path rowKey
3. add the Output > Data path rowKey; HTML - PHP code with tags.
4. change $this->get('submissions_list.key') to WHAT? $row["key"] is not working. $row.key is not working either. 

Sorry, Max, I didn't quite catch the idea. 🙁I can set the number, but it's the same for all the rows. Should I create a loop inside the row? That doesn't seem to make sense.How can I print out the data structure or layout of the table so I can see how the table and its rows are constructed?

In addition, CF6 had the Select gcb[] option. I cannot see it in CF8. Do you plan to implement that?

Max, it seems that the elements are not iterating correctly inside the table. I attempted to create a checkbox for selection manually. However, when I placed the checkbox inside the table rows, all the checkboxes ended up being the same.

In every row, I get the same checkbox with name="checkbox_9":

<td class="nui collapsing breakwords">
  <div class="field holder">
    <div class="nui checkbox">
      <input name="checkbox_9" value="1" title="" type="checkbox" class="hidden">
      <label tabindex="0">Check this 9</label>
      <input name="checkbox_9" value="" type="hidden">
    </div>
  </div>
</td>

Whereas in CCv6, the value attribute would iterate through the row sequence, such as:

value="1"
value="2"
value="3"

This issue suggests that the iteration logic for dynamically generating unique checkboxes per row isn’t functioning as expected.and this migt be the same problem with $rowKey.

I just did it here the way I explained to you:

before the table:

and inside the counter column:

khm... Thank you for the tip - however, I get different numbers and each time i refresh the window it gets higher :D 

are you sure you have defined the variable to 0 before the table ?

jupp. positive. I wanted to reset it with PHP, but that is not working? 

// Reset rowkey to 0 at the beginning of the process $this->set("rowkey", 0);

// Increment rowkey during iteration or processing $this->set("rowkey", $this->get("rowkey") + 1);

do you have the rowkey variable defined anywhere else ? there must be some conflict because it worked fine here

Max, I defined another variable named tablecounter. It behaves the same way — every time I refresh the window, it keeps incrementing the count. This happens both on the frontend and backend.

the variable is defined and set to 0 on the same page which you refresh ?

Hi Elita

I have applied a fix to the Variables action here earlier and that may affect the result, please try to set the variable using a PHP action:

$this->set("counter", 0);

does that change the result you have ?

Thanx, MAx, this is working:

First PHP (Before the Table):

$this->set("counter", 0);

Second PHP (Inside the Table Row Column)

$this->set("counter",$this->get("counter")+1); 

Or the breakdown with variables - 

$counter = $this->get("counter"); // Get the current counter value

$counteradd = $counter + 1; // Increment the counter by 1

$this->set("counter", $counteradd); // Store the updated counter value

return $counteradd; // Return the incremented counter

great, glad you have it working now!
