num of articles in a section
First of all, a happy new year to everyone!
Secondly, sorry to ask, i’ve search (perhaps not hard enough? apologies) the faqs/forums but can’t seem to find an answer. Anyways, i have a sidebar list listing down the different categories my post will go into, is there a way to include thenumber of articles in besides the category name? For eg.
CATEGORIES- Design [2]
- Personal [5]
- Logo [1]
Also, another 3 things, how i include a eg.
1) “ Filed/Posted under ‘CategoryName’, ‘CategoryName’ “ at the end of my article post so that my readers know where it’s been categorised into?
2) Open links in in an external new window, i use js with rel=“external” to open all my current external links, how do i integrate it in txp?
3) How do i show the titles for my category links?
Thanks again in advance.

I´m showing my categories with article count using rss_superachive_bycat
You can show a link to articles category in post with tag <code><txp:category1 link=“y” /></code>

Re: num of articles in a section
Thanks P, I’ll look into tat plugin, how didficult is it to configure? I thought there could be something simpler than it. Also, thanks for that tag, is there a way to make it show 2 categories instead of it?
Thanks again.

@-P-
I use <code><txp:category1 link=“1” title=“1” /></code> and it works too, what does the “y” do?
@Alexandra
Btw, i think i might have mis-explained:
3) How do i show tooltip-titles for all my txp links?

Re: num of articles in a section
Check out mem_article_count. This will return the number of articles in a section or category.

mem_article_count.
There is also mdn_count.
Edit: I don’t think the txp:category tag allows you to use the html title attribute. You’d have to handcode the links if you want that.

Re: num of articles in a section
Thanks doggiez. Any idea if they’re compatible with 4.0.3?
