Or switch to 4.7 and use <txp:article_custom pgonly />.

which one is correct: <txp:mdn_count [section="talud"] /> or <txp:mdn_count section="talud" /> ?

first doesn’t count and doesn’t show errors, second counts but with errors

Hi Gallex,

The second one is correct. Does it show the error in live mode?

sorry that It does not count multiple sections or categories.

how you would use it on section list?

<txp:section_list break="" default_title="Home" include_default="0" sections="houses,apartments,farms" 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>

my goal is menu like this:

houses (5)
apartments (12)
farms (4)

How do you make it count the number of articles. I can only make it count the number of pages on a section (list / landing) or search page.

To count articles, call it with pageby="1" attribute (this will not alter the pagination). To limit the count to some sections (categories, etc), set them in <txp:article_custom /> as usual:

<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' pgonly pageby="1" />

Aha, pageby="1", that is what I missed! Thank you for the hint sir.
