[Solved] Count a same occurrence into titles
I want to count my articles based on a single occurrence.
My article titles are all based on this format:
XXXX Yes OOOO
YYYY No RRR
ZZZ Yes MMMMM
So my goal is to count the number of times “Yes” occurs.
I tried using the fields attributes but without any results:
<txp:article_custom section="my-section" fields="(Title, LIKE'%<txp:variable name="string" />%')" limit="0">
...
</txp:article_custom>Note: the TXP variable stores the string extracted from a REGEX.
I think there’s a solution. Could you help me, please?

Hi Patrick,
If you just want to count articles, the simplest solution (assuming url_title follows the same format) is
<txp:article_custom url_title="% yes %" pgonly pageby="1" />or
<txp:article_custom url_title='%<txp:variable name="string" />%' pgonly pageby="1" />Offline

I’m sorry, but that not works (nothing appears)…
Maybe because the string has two words (i.e. Yes Yes: First and last name)?

Ah, ok, you should probably remove the surrounding spaces; url_title="%yes%", look at url_title of your articles.

Yep.
I made this changes (but without any results…):
<txp:variable name="string" trim="/\s+/" replace='-' escape="lower" />
<txp:article_custom url_title='%<txp:variable name="string" />%' pgonly pageby="1" />Patrick.

If you use 4.9, there was a silly bug that I have just patched (thanks to your question), so download txplib_publish.php again. In 4.8.8 it should work as is.
