Quick question: how could I get $Pos to display on my template as two figures eg. "01, 02, 03" instead of "1, 2, 3"?
Thanks!

You'll need to define a custom method for this. Something like:

public function PaddedPos($startIndex = 1) {
	return sprintf('%02d', $this->Pos($startIndex));
}

%02d will pad an integer to two characters, if it is less than that, using zeros.

Thanks for the reply Simon, however I think this is a bit more tricky because I'm already calling a function on my page.php and it's the $Pos of that function that I need to pad out with leading zeros... and I just can't get it to work.

function ArticleCategories() {
return DataObject::get("ArticleCategory", "ParentID=16", "", "", "");
}

Is there any way of doing this on the template eg. something like $Pos.Nice ?
Or, on the template is it possible to write in the leading zero with something like <% if Pos<10 %>0<% end_if %> (this doesn't work though)

Otherwise I might just resort to hard coding it on the template eg. <% if Pos=1 %>01<% else if Pos=2 %>02... (horribly long winded code)

You'll either need to add the method to ArticleCategory or one of its parent classes (not the controller, though).

There's nothing like $Pos.Nice and you can't use inequalities in the template, just equalities.

Sorry, almost forgot to say thanks for the help Simon!

I'm having trouble getting this to work - any chance you could post your code? Thanks :)

Hello, does anyone have a solution for this? I'm struggling to get this to work.

Sorry I can't help - I couldn't figure out how to successfully add the method Simon used above to my ArticleCategory function and I had already wasted too much time on it so I resorted to just hand coding my templates with eg. <% if Pos=1 %>01<% else if Pos=2 %>02 ...etc.
