count and print number of articles in a category, or section
i did search for this.. but came up without luck..
is there a plugin that already does this? i know there’s the gbl_blog_stats plugin that very nicely prints the total number of comments and entries for the site…
what about one that prints the total number of articles in a category, or in a section?
that would be cool. :)

Re: count and print number of articles in a category, or section
I don’t think I“ve heard of one, but it wouldn’t be too hard to do I think. Might have to review the MySQL functions, but I think there’s a count(field) sort of thing…

Edit: No longer lazy. Go here for the plugin.

Re: count and print number of articles in a category, or section
Thank you, I’ve been waiting for this some time. But… when I use it, I get this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: latts() in /home/httpd/vhosts/doggiez.nl/httpdocs/textpattern/publish.php(764) : eval()’d code on line 1915
Does it mean I’m doing something wrong?

Whoops!
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: latts() in /home/username/public_html/textpattern/publish.php(769) : eval()’d code on line 227
My code: <txp:mem_article_count section="journal" />
Also, would it be possible to get total comments as well?
(BTW – I second the post below me. Many thanks at going after this plugin!)

Manfre, i’d just like to say that, though it seems to need a bit of repair (i’ve not yet tried it), i love that you stepped forward to make it.. i’m looking forward to using it :)
thank you!

Re: count and print number of articles in a category, or section
i had lost track of this thread… found it again today…
i did try this out and ended up with a blank page on every page i used it in..
any chance for a repair? ;) at your leisure!
thank you much

Re: count and print number of articles in a category, or section
Just wondering whether this still works with 4.0.3?

Re: count and print number of articles in a category, or section
I don’t know exactly how to ask this question but….
I just want to put this on the page without specifying the category. Basically like how <code><txp:category1 title=“1” /></code> will automatically spit out the name of the current directory. Is this possible with this plug?

Re: count and print number of articles in a category, or section
i’m on 4.0.4, just installed this and it works wonderfully. i am specifying both section and category.
thank you manfre, this is very useful for me even though you wrote this years ago :-)
