Post slider dots indicator

by the way: on some postsliders it works – on others not – and i do not see the difference between these two postsliders yet. …
As far as i see – it is dependent on the column count – if you got only 1column – it will not work that way ?
Guess the ternär Operator with remainder ( % ) had to be calculated a bit different.

but i do not see why a column count 1 has as result a zero slide number:

$slidenumber = $entry_count / (int) $this->atts['columns'];
$slidenumber = $entry_count % (int) $this->atts['columns'] ? ( (int) $slidenumber + 1)  : (int) $slidenumber;

f.e case 5 items 1 column
remainder comes to
5/1 = 5 no rest
so ternär operator goes to last setting ( and does not add one slide more for the rest ) is slidenumber is 5 – but it does not show the dots in this case.

See here the same postslider – left one only one column – right 3 Columns.

And: on the right post-slider the slidenumber calculation is wrong! there are 7 items and 3columns.
7/3 = 2 Rest 1 so there must be 2+1 slidenumbers – but there are 4 ?

yes – and even if the calculation is this way ( which seems to be more logical ) – because slidenumber should be an integer value:
entry_count and columns-count should also be integers aswell – per definition.

$entry_count = $this->atts['items'];
$slidenumber = (int)($entry_count / $this->atts['columns']);
$slidenumber = $entry_count % $this->atts['columns']  ? ( $slidenumber + 1)  :  $slidenumber;

the slidenumber is for 1 column wrong and for the rest +1 ? i see not the error ?

as mentioned above my code has that little adjustments to the calculation – the original will work too – but column-count should always be integer.

this is the folder structure:

PS: do you have this little extra snippet in your child-theme functions.php – that child shortcodes overwrite parent one and are in that shortcodes folder ? i do often forget to mention that because that is one of my first shortcodes i insert on may installations.
(https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/intro-to-layout-builder/#add-elements-to-alb)

function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths){
  $template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
      array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');
  return $paths;
}
add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);

Hi,
Since 4.8.3, this solution doesn’t work anymore.
Is there a way to have the dots navigation on the post slider now ?

but be careful – my post is nearly one year old. So there must be a new editing with postslider.php to do.
The newest postslider.php has a different way to generate the slide_navigation_arrows . etc. …

Just some brainstorming – without the entry number field the calculation will be wrong.
Why don’t we use a calculation of how many posts are in the given categories ( taxonomies )?
is it possible to get the number of post in the selected post-type ( f.e. with get_terms() )

the items count on case “All” will be difficult to get – because we need to find out the number of posts, and in case of selecting multiple categories (or taxonomy) we need to have the adjusted total number of posts. If there are common posts.
