[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1259011, member: 141969"] I have not tried using "Latest Media Handler" in my skin, so there may be some specific restrictions that apply. However, #itemcount is notorious for being unset in various circumstances (so you may have found another one). Below is the xml that I use to generate the item count string (top left corner in my skin); the comments explain why this logic is necessary:  <label>#(switch( and(eq(#currentmodule,L(102012)),eq(#itemcount,'')),'', eq(#currentmodule,L(102012)),'#itemcount items', and(eq(#selectedindex,''),eq(#itemcount,'')),'', and(eq(#selectedindex,'0'),eq(#itemcount,'')),'', or(eq(#selectedindex,''),eq(#selectedindex,'0')),'#itemcount items', or(eq(#itemcount,''),eq(#itemcount,'0')),'Item #selectedindex', eq(1,1),'Item #selectedindex/#itemcount'))</label> So there you have it. Simples! :D -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
