[Question] Setting a position at 1

[Guikingone]

Hi everyone 👋

Small question about using a position field, is there any solution to use a position field starting at 1 rather than 0?

I know it can seems strange but I need to use a position which start at 1 and I can’t find a suitable solution to update the position field without overriding the after_* and before_* events 🤔

Thanks for the feedback 🙂

@Guikingone , have you found a solution. I checked the source code and the function that actually writes the positions (doRewritePositions()) is called after the callbacks. So overwriting after_add doesn't seem to help.

What could help is an extra option named "first_position: 1" and use it in doRewritePositions

I made a fork and added and extra option named position_field_first_value. If you still need it feel free to change the vcs source in composer.json to https://github.com/stevro/symfony-collection

Hi @stevro 👋

I've found a solution by overriding the after_* event and lopping through every items which is handled for the position attribute and setting the value to the actuel key of the array (parseInt(value + 1)), that's clearly not the best solution but it seems to work 🙂
