thank you very much

I don't understand what you want - do you have an image to show what you want or a link to a site that does this?

The post number is in the upper right corner of each post. The posts per page is a setting that the users set in their control panel.

Hi Lynne
sorry I don't have any image, I need something similar to the post number
in VB we usually have 10 posts for each thread, so if you have 30 posts, in the first post in the second page the post number is 11
I just need to setup a variable that indicates the post number for the page, in this case the post number for the first post in the first page will be 1, the post number for the second post in the secon page will be 2, and so on.
I need it to use whit JS, not to display to users
thank you very much for your help
regards
Manuel

So you want the post number? That variable is already available in the template.

I need something different from $show['postcount']

I think I know what you're saying. Do you really need the post number or just a unique number? If you just need a unique number, use the postid. If you really need a counter of posts on the page, there is a $counter variable that might work for you, but it's a global so it might not be available in the template. Maybe try $GLOBALS[counter].

Dear kh99
