[TYPO3-english] Image composition register/if

[Jill E. Peterson]

Greetings,

I am trying to display an images content element so that the images are
merged into one photo in groups of three and if there is not an even group
of 3, omit the remainder images (i.e. don't render an image at all if one
space would be missing). It seems to work for a moment but then I reload
the page and the register values are blank and so the logic fails and
either all the images generate or none and I can toggle between these cases
with .if.negate = 1. I'm sure there's something simple I am missing here to
make it work--I can tell it's not quite right because the
register:bannerCount values are double what I would expect (for example, 22
instead of 11). I'm not opposed to importing from css_styled_content where
I get a correct image count but I'm not sure how to source the images from
from GIFBUILDER in that case (I don't need click-enlarge to work). In
short, I'm not sure if my use of "if" is incorrect, if this "register" is
incorrect, or probably even both. :-)

Any advice?

Many thanks.

Jill
