Count articles in a section
I thought this might work:
<txp:variable name="article_count" trim>
<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' fields="ID" pgonly pageby limit="999" status><txp:yield item="count" /></txp:article_custom>
</txp:variable>Alas, it always assigns 1 to the variable. I’m clearly missing something obvious. Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Re: Count articles in a section
When fields is set, the counters are reset for each group:
<txp:article_custom fields="section" limit="999" status>
<txp:custom_field name="section" /> (<txp:yield item="count" /> articles)
</txp:article_custom>I think you can get what you need like this:
<txp:variable name="article_count" trim>
<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' pgonly status />
</txp:variable>Offline
Re: Count articles in a section
Hmm, thanks. Makes sense that field counts reset at each change of grouping (I should have picked up on that myself, duh) but your suggestion still yields 1 for me even though there are two articles in the section I’m viewing.
Maybe I need to employ add? EDIT: Nope.

Ah, I tried valueless pageby earlier, which didn’t work, but pageby="1" does.
Thank you so much.
