I have this function in a custom page_controller to work out how many "columns" of display items I have for css purposes. Its children with published children.
The problem is that $child->Children() returns an arraylist and therefore effectively true even when there are no published items and the printing sub-loop returns null.
As a result the count is wrong. I also use <% if Children %> in my templates.
Is there an alternative function?
public function columnCount(){
$count = 0;
if($this->Children()){
foreach($this->Children() as $child){
if($child->Children()){
$count++;
// following 4 lines just for test
foreach($child->Children() as $mokopuna){
print_r("Child name: ");
print_r($mokopuna->URLSegment.' - '.$mokopuna->URLSegment);
print_r("<BR>");
}
}
print_r("<hr>");
}
};
return $count;
}
