Is the placeholder field mandatory for MIGX?

Support Extras

Based on this tutorial, I got the code below to work:

[[getImageList? &tpl=`chunck` &tvname=`TV` &toSeparatePlaceholders=`place`]]
[[+place.1]]
[[+place.2]]
...

So far it works, but I realised I forgot to paste the code below into my TV settings:



"fields": [{
  "field": "placeholder",
  "caption": "Placeholder",
  "inputTV": "placeholderTV"
},
{
....
	"header": "Placeholder",
	"width": "10",
	"sortable": "true",
	"dataIndex": "placeholder",
	"renderer": "this.renderPlaceholder"
  },
  {

Is this something I should be worried about ?

As far as I can tell, this field is to show what row/image in the MIGX grid corresponds to which placeholder.

If you start changing the order of the items with drag and drop or delete some of them, then [[+place.1]] won’t necessarily corresponds to the first item in the grid anymore.

Yes you are right, each placeholder was not corresponding to their respective order.
Therefore, I changed the code, it works know. Tks a lot
