"Format Row Counter" setting in a grid doesn't do anything

Scriptcase 8 Discussion

I want to set a custom Row Counter display in a grid.

So I tried to set it here:
Toolbar > Options > “Format Row Counter”

But whatever I enter in that setting, SC will ignore it and always display the default (i.e. the content of the {lang_othr_smry_info} variable).

What am I doing wrong?

Seems there’s a trick to this that I just deciphered. Here it is…

The initial value of {lang_othr_smry_info} is “?start? to ?final? of ?total?”.

By placing a little PHP in OnScriptInit: {lang_othr_smry_info} = “?start? to ?final? of ?total? records”;

[1 to 100 of 100] is transformed into [1 to 100 of 100 records].

HTML seems to work as well: [1 to 100 of 100 records] was achieved by changing the string value to “?start? to ?final? of ?total? <span style=‘color:#F00’>records</span>”

I haven’t figured out if math operations are possible so that percent of total could be displayed, but at least this is a start.
