Loop index

{loop_index} will show you the index of the element in the loop. It starts counting at 1

$loop|{room}|{a}| $#
{loop_index}
$/loop|{room}|{a}| $#‌

Example to know if the element is odd / even

$loop|{room}|{a}| $#
Loop index = {loop_index} - {if="'{loop_index}' % 2 == '0'"}even{else}odd{/if}
$/loop|{room}|{a}| $#

Do not use {loop_index} after a loop for photos or video inside your module, there is a bug

Count results

To get the number of items from a collection, here is the syntax: #$count|RULES_FOR_LOOP$#

Use #$count|{{item.hotel_number}}$# if your loop is :
#$loop|{{item.hotel_number}}|{a}| $# 
#$/loop|{{item.hotel_number}}|{a}| $# 

Use #$count|{hotel,[is_featured=1]}$# if your loop is: 
#$loop|{hotel,[is_featured=1]}|{a}| $# 
#$/loop|{hotel,[is_featured=1]}|{a}| $# 

Always check that your result if coherent. (the feature still in beta)

Currently, the count feature doesn't work with CMS variable. So #$count|{hotel,[limit=#$variable|limit$#]}$# won't count correctly

Fix context issues

If you do a loop on a shared module (for example offers are shared across hotels, events are shared), in a detail page, there is a risk that it will show offers of another hotel from the same master brand

This is because detail pages changes the context for Galaxy, to be able for example to get only the rooms of a specific hotel on a hotel detail page.

To fix this, there is a custom filter you can add that will force the loop to use the context of the website, instead of the context of the page: item--website

#$loop|{offer,[item--website=1]}|{a}| $#
    {a.name}
#$/loop|{offer,[item--website=1]}|{a}| $#
