Hello, is it possible to put field with unique number for every new submission in category ?

Something like this:

  • First Submition (1)
  • Second Submission (2)
  • Third Submission (3)

Category Two:

  • First Submition (1)
  • Second Submission (2)
  • Third Submission (3)

Thanks in advice!

Hi,

I think you don't need seblod for this, just create a column by hand, in mysql type INT(10) UNSIGNED and AUTO_INCREMENT flag.

Kind regards.

I would create a new Category Content Type "category with counter"
and add a field "last id".

Once an article in that Category is created,
the field value is incremented + 1 and used for the id of the new article.

After article creation success, the field "last id" is updated.

I didn't find "category with counter" Content Type. Can you tell me where is it ?

Hi Derekman,

that would be a custom Content Type you create on your own.
You can duplicate and extend the provided category Content Type.

Have a look at this tutorial:

It's about editing an "Article" Content Type - the procedure for a "Category" Content Type
is basically the same.

Hello Viktor, 

i already created category content type, can you give me more info about 'last id' field in category and article content types ? Is this field same for category/article and where to add option to increment after article submit ?

Hi Dreakman,
what do you want to happen if

a) an article inbetween gets deleted?

b) a just created article gets deleted and a new one created?

should everything be recounted or is it ok to have gaps,
so the last submission doesn't necessarily represent the total number of articles?

Hi Viktor,

If the article is deleted I want to continue the arrangement following number:

- Article 1 - ID1

- Article 2 - ID2

- Article 3 (DELETED) - ID3

- Article 4 - ID4

etc.

It should have gaps for the deleted articles.

Best Regards!
