Fieldgroup HTML display: array index / position of current value in multi-value group / auto increment value

Hi there,

I wish to use a fieldgroup to create an accordion style element. For this, as I'll be using a standard library rather than writing my own, I would like to be able to access the current position in the array of grouped values, but haven't found a way other than creating an extra field (that the site admin would have to populate themselves) to hold an integer (that they would also need to ensure is unique).

The custom HTML display I have so far for the group is based on the Foundation front-end framework, and is as follows:
Code:
<li class="accordion-navigation"> <a href="#panel{{xxx}}" role="tab" id="panel{{xxx}}-heading" aria-controls="panel{{xxx}}">{{accordion_heading}}</a> <div id="panel{{xxx}}" class="content" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="panel{{xxx}}-heading"> ... a bunch of fields in here ... </div> </li>

Here {{xxx}} is where I would need a unique non-whitespace value. I have tried some combinations of {{accordion_heading##id}} (which sort of gave me results, though not the ones I was expecting), valueorder, index, autoincrement... etc. I also had a look through the onFieldDisplay method for a text field to see if I could find where I would need to add a custom method if I was to duplicate it and go that route, but I thought I would ask you guys first because you're always so good with the support! :)

Many thanks as always for the great software!

Thanks, that's great!

I changed for a newer version of foundation which doesn't rely on indexed accordion items, but there are other places in the site that I require it, so this would still be useful to see :)
