Thanks Rainer,

But that's not what I want. varStatus only works when you're looping - i was hoping to know the size of that list of children without actually counting them one by one. Sure I have a temporary solution in place that is doing just that right now - but it feels wrong.

The magnolia API doesn't seem to get me anywhere - I may be mixed up, but I don't think I'm counting child nodes, when I count paragraphs, but rather a several instanced property on a node.

The mystery remains - how do I know how many paragraphs I have?

hi,

maybe you are looking for the varStatus attribute?

this is an example...

<c:forEach items="${roleGp.rolesInGroup}" var="roleName" varStatus="i">
   <td><c:out value="${roleGp.valRange[${i.getCount}]}"/></td></tr>
</c:forEach>

As far as i remember there are a couple of informations availbale on that
attribute...

You could also use the Magnl API to collect all the children of the parent
node of your images ;)

regards
rainer

First off a great big THANKS! for this software. So far I've been
extremely productive in setting up templates and getting everything
"just right" - not many surprises at all despite the complexity of the
domain.

And now to a simple one...

I'm tearing my hair out here: How do I count the number of paragraphs?

I have a page I call an "image collection". Each image is added as a
paragraph. Now I want to randomise which image to show - but how do I
know how many images I have? How do I count the paragraphs?
