display number of articles after a category name
Hi all, I want to know if I can display the number of articles in a category after the article name
site: http://www.ecklesroad.com
I’d like to be able to have after each right side category links have something like “Amazing (#)” where # is the number of articles in that category.
This site is my sandbox for getting used to using textpattern, this is my second site to use it, so I’m kinda new yet.

ps: although you greatly modified it, it wouldn’t hurt to leave in the credits when using a template :) don’t get me wrong… just wanted to let you know, theme creators appreciate it if people are giving credit, not neccessarily in this case but for the future :)

Re: display number of articles after a category name
colak – So in my tag <code><txp:category_list type=“article” break=“li” wraptag=“ul” sort=“Title ASC” /> </code> how would I be able to make each category show the number of articles without having to list them out one by one?
sthmtc – I didn’t want to step on anyone, I’ll try and fit it in some where. Sorry about that. I wanted to use something as a basis to start with.

no problem, didn’t want to sound stiff or anything, the comment was just meant as a friendly hint/reminder for the future, before someone is feeling stepped on :) absolutely no worries and you don’t have to fit it in, it’s fine with me…

I’m not sure that you will be able to do that. Not with using txp code and plugin(s) out of the box.
You can however hard code the links of the categories and have <txp:mdn_count category="yourcategory" /> next to it.

Re: display number of articles after a category name
cbs_category_list has an option to display article counts.
As of 4.0.6 there is no way to do this with default TXP tags.
Code is topiary
