entry count question

[oneway]

Hello!  I'm trying to add the entry count into my datetime line, and my current code is

"""
$myday, $mydate @ $mytime -- {#$en.itemid}""";

The problem is that the count is not being done correctly.

Please help!

What isn't being done correctly about it?

oneway wants to print the 'real' entry number - if it's the tenth entry they've written, they want to display the number 10 - and not the number semi-random number LJ gives entries. I don't know really how to do this so I sent them your way. :)

Just curious, is there another customization community that I should be monitoring? I thought I knew of them all, but people seem to be asking you for Expressive things in other places. ;)

XD I don't think there is. oneway commented in explainittome.

Edit: oh wait. Are you reading everything_lj? I'm not helping there but often send people over there when there is some CSS issue I can't resolve. They're much better at this than I am.

Entry ordinal = $en.itemid / 256

I tried that, and its just showing up with "/256" at the end...

I think sometimes there are limits to the amount of operations you can inline. I did the operation a little differently in my own journal, for instance:

var int entry_num = $en.itemid / 256;

...

"""
$myday, $mydate @ $mytime -- {#$entry_num}""";

Hmm, its closer. But its still going over. I only have 1277 entries and my latest is numbered at 1329...
