Counter count for categories
« on: October 08, 2007, 02:42:44 AM »
With the list of categories on the left side, we should have a number right next to the category, with how many videos are in it.  For example:

Funny Videos (7)
Shocking Videos (5)

Hi,
All the changes are explained in the blog http://www.elixiraddons.com/blogs/phpmotion/
See http://video.victorc21.com/category.php to see this in action.

This now also works for category with no videos loaded.

This will only take care of the main category page.

Coming soon !!!
The changes for the category_home.php (page you see when you click on the category link on the left menu).

How's the other template files looking ITguy? Did you manage in coding them up?  If so, please update us here, so I can lock the topic and add it to our Addons/Mods database.

Thank you.

Just got it done.

You can see it work on my demo site at http://video.victorc21.com/category_home.php?cid=Comedy

Details explained on my blog at http://www.elixiraddons.com/blogs/phpmotion/

To recap, there are total four files (two PHP and two templates) to change for the counter to appear on the two category pages.

Make sure to test it out and let us know how it works.
