count images in a category
I am trying to display the number of images belonging to a specific category.
<txp:php>echo safe_count('txp_image', "category = 'img_cat'");</txp:php> returns a parse error. Can someone help?

Re: count images in a category
Hi Yiannis,
for whatever reason (and I’m curious why!) that code won’t work if put straight in an article, but works in a page. Should you, however, need it in an article, create a form containing that code and call the form from your article. Edit: Textile’s == escape also worked.

Textile getting in the way maybe?

It works in articles for me. Are you sure to have “Allowed PHP in articles”?

I hadn’t expected that with the error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in [snip]textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(3748) : eval()'d code on line 1But you’re right.
I just don’t get that a <txp:php> is eaten by Textile, while a <txp:output_form /> isn’t.

Yup. Is there maybe a difference between 441 and 454 in this behaviour?
Edit: Probably also in the Textile versions.

Re: count images in a category
For me neither the php nor the output form (containing the code) is parsed in an article. I also have php enabled for both pages and articles.

Strange. Did you try embedding the tags in two of Textiles ==? Worked for me.

Yiannis, have you tried to “Leave text untouched”? If it works, then == or notextile. should help. Otherwise, there might be some typos in the article that bother the parser, but then good luck in hunting :)

== around the php does not work but notextile.. does the trick… Thanks for all you help.
