DUPLICATE: {query_results_count:[id]} inside Component always returns 0 on front-end

[ricktibbe]

When using a Dynamic Data tag like {query_results_count:[element-id]} inside a component, the correct count is shown in the builder, but the front-end always displays 0, even when the query has results.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new component.
2. Inside the component, add an element with a Query Loop that returns results.
3. Copy the Bricks ID of the Query Loop element.
4. Outside the Query Loop (but still inside the same component), add a text element using Dynamic Data: {query_results_count:[element-id]}
5. Check the output:
   Inside the builder: Correct count is shown.
   On the front-end: Output is always 0.

Front-end

HTML

The first section corresponds to the first element in the example above.

Inside builder

Additional Notes

• I verified the Bricks ID and Dynamic Data syntax multiple times.
• I tested by duplicating the component’s contents directly outside the component (which is the bottom example in the images). The non-component version works correctly, confirming that the issue seems to be isolated to components.

Hi Rick,
Thanks so much for your report.

The problem has already been reported, see #2:

WIP: Beta bugs and problems

1 - Error: Different queries and configurations for the same component. In the JetEngine listing grid, it is possible to use different types of queries and data capture configurations in the same listing grid. I was unable to do this in the Bricks component. It seems that every configured query changes the component globally for all components in all places in the theme. 2 - Error: I converted a block that I was using in the project into a component. I used a validation condition like this…

We’ll update the original thread once it’s solved, and I’ll close this thread accordingly.

Best regards,
