Adding Counters to Listings

Adding callbacks to dynamic fields

Enable the Filter field output toggle of this widget to activate the Callback and Select query drop-down menus. Select the appropriate settings: the Listing’s counter for the Callback and Query for listing counter for the Select query menu.

Additionally, users can apply stylish settings to the number.

Creation of a dynamic table

Navigate to JetEngine  > Tables Builder of the WordPress Dashboard. Press the “Add New Table” button to create a new table.

Columns of the table

Click the Columns tab and add a column for the number displaying (here, index) with the following settings:

• move the Filter Column Output toggle;
• choose the Listings counter callback from the Filter Callback drop-down menu;
• choose the Query for listing counter from the Select query drop-down menu.

Users can display one or some dynamic fields from the CPT used for the build query as the columns: choose the Meta Field setting from the Data Source drop-down menu and the field from the Select Field drop-down menu.

To display the CPT as a whole, choose the Template settings from the Column Content drop-down menu as the type of content displayed in the column, and choose the necessary CPT from the Column template drop-down menu.

If necessary, unroll the Table Style tab and apply the stylish settings.

Press the “Create Table” button to create the table.
