Count Engtries in each category

#168 opened by Octave 2 Media

Description

Solution: 

{exp:category_construct:categories
    group_id="7"
    entry_count="true"
}
    {construct:cat_name} ({construct:entry_count})
{/exp:category_construct:categories}

I thought I could output the number of entries in each category like this.

{exp:category_construct:categories group_id="7"} {construct:cat_name}({construct:entry_count})<br> {/exp:category_construct:categories}

But the entry_count tag does nothing, it shows itself on the site. Did I misunderstood something?

    Hi Werner,

    In order to get the entry count per category you have to enable that feature of the tag with a parameter of entry_count=&quot;true&quot; because it makes the query weightier (It's in the docs, but I could probably be clearer on that).

    {exp:category_construct:categories
    group_id=&quot;7&quot;
    entry_count=&quot;true&quot;
}
    {construct:cat_name} ({construct:entry_count})
{/exp:category_construct:categories}

    Thank you TJ

    Works. Have overseen this in the docs.
