Hi does this plugin support multiple sections?
Hi Geoff,
It certainly does. Just put them all in separated by commas (as you have above), and it should be right to roll :)

Re: mdn_count
Hi thanks for the quick reply.
I’ll install it and give it a try.
Any chance of adding custom fields … ?

Care to elaborate what you mean? Count custom fields that have names? Or additional custom fields added by plugins?

Re: mdn_count
To the count filter … count where section=“x” category1 =“y” and custom_field1=“z”
I use a custom_field name=“frontpage” that is either yes/no I’d like to be able to count all my “frontpage” articles.
Thanks
Geoff

Re: mdn_count
Okay I see what you mean, similar to customfieldname. This is a pretty specific scenario, but I think it could be done with a couple of generic attributes, filterfield and filtervalue. That way you could use if for custom fields, and other users could use if for any other column in the table.
OK, I’ll add it to the list :)

Hi Mitch,
Yes, I guess if you could build in as many attributes from article_custom as you can find time to …
Thanks for making this …
Geoff

Just wanted to send a quick thanks for updating the plug in. I have been using the old version for awhile but needed to have it count multiple section. Old version could not do this, but your new version does.
Thanks again.

Re: mdn_count
No problem, glad it helped.
I’ve been meaning to update this plugin as per geoff777’s request above, but haven’t got round to it.
Hopefully I’ll get some time this weekend.

Re: mdn_count
is it possible to integrate this plugin into code below?
<txp:section_list break="" default_title="Home" include_default="1" sections="houses,farms,apartments,lands,commercial-real-estate,rent" wraptag="ul" class="sub">
<li<txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'> class="active"</txp:if_section>><txp:section link="1" title="1" /></li>
</txp:section_list>
what you think?
the default usage of a plugin:
<txp:mdn_count [section="sectionname"] />
or maybe you know better solution for counting articles per sections?

Re: mdn_count
Does something like that sound good ?
<txp:section_list break="" default_title="Home" include_default="1" sections="houses,farms,apartments,lands,commercial-real-estate,rent" wraptag="ul" class="sub">
<txp:variable name="scount" value='<txp:mdn_count section=''<txp:section />'' />' />
<txp:if_variable name="scount" value="0">
<txp:else />
<li<txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'> class="active"</txp:if_section>><txp:section link="1" title="1" /></li>
</txp:if_variable>
</txp:section_list>

Re: mdn_count
It’s my understanding that there is some sort of article count in the main codebase. I don’t know, however, if it does the counting by sections and whatnot. If anyone wants to take the code and create a patch, I’m sure the folks who hang out on the txp-dev mailing list would be happy to consider it. I’m personally not involved much with Textpattern anymore, but glad the plugin is still helpful to some folks.
Oh, perhaps I misunderstood the question, I only got an email summary and I“ll admit I didn’t read it very closely. I don’t know how well it would tie into other plugin usage there.
And very glad cain is keeping up with things and has added functionality to it.

Re: mdn_count
Does this work?
<txp:section_list break="" default_title="Home" include_default="1" sections="houses,farms,apartments,lands,commercial-real-estate,rent" wraptag="ul" class="sub">
<li<txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'> class="active"</txp:if_section>><txp:section link="1" title="1" /> <txp:mdn_count section='<txp:section />' /></li>
</txp:section_list>
