Counting Articles in Article Lists

Is there anyway to find the total number of articles in an article list.

If there isn’t a way in Textpattern does anyone know the PHP / mySQL to get a total of live articles for a section or a comma separated list of sections.

Thanks
Geoff

Thanks Colak

I’ll take a look.

I did find a way using article_custom with a crazy limit and a form containing one line …

<txp:adi_calc name=“article_count” add=“1”/>

Obviously setting the variable to 0 before the article_custom tag.

Cheers Geoff

Re: Counting Articles in Article Lists

It’s a bit hackish, but <txp:search_result_count /> prints the article count even if the article list is not the result of an actual search… Caveat: This is no official endorsement to rely on this behaviour for eternity.
