Add paging index in your CListView

If you are using CListView to populate your data you can customize your view to show the automatic number of your CListView..

you can just add $index variable to your _view in CListView

<div class="view" >
 <i><b><?php echo CHtml::encode($data->getAttributeLabel('Project title')); ?>:</b></i>
 <span class="info">
 <?php echo $index+1;?>//this is the variable in CListView
 </span>
 <h3><?php echo CHtml::link(CHtml::encode($data->title), array('view', 'id'=>$data->project_id)); ?></h3>

In your index file in your view you can see like this :

<h1>Projects</h1>

<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(
 'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,
 'itemView'=>'_view',
)); ?>
