Image Count for Subcategory on Main Page

[alinford]

Is there any way to show the image totals in each subcategory while on the main page?

[Jan]

Just copy {total_images} to the template categories.html

That seems to give me the total of all images, not the total next to each subcategory.

[Jan]

Ok, did not understand you correctly. But what do you mean exactly? You see the image count behind each category name.

I guess he wants to see the number of every subcategory that is displayed on the index page.
Like

• Category (132)
  • Subcategory 1 (33)
  • Subcategory 2 (24)
  • Subcategory 1 (14)
  • and so forth [/list:u] [/list:u]

[alinford]

You are a helluvaguy, that is exactly what I am looking for.

Open /includes/functions.php
Find:

Code: [Select]

     $sub_cat_list .= "<a href=\"".$sub_url."\" class=\"subcat\">".$cat_cache[$subcat_id]['cat_name']."</a>";

Replace with:

Code: [Select]

     $sub_cat_list .= "<a href=\"".$sub_url."\" class=\"subcat\">".$cat_cache[$subcat_id]['cat_name']."</a> (".$cat_cache[$subcat_id]['num_images'].")";

Thanks!
I had messed around with this for a few days and could not get it right.
I have a family site, http://linford.net
I have 4images integrated with Geeklog and this little change was somthing I needed.

Hi !


Ich habe da ein Problem,

Zwar bekomme ich jetzt auf der Hauptseite die Anzahl der Bilder in den Sub-Kategorien gezeigt, aber irgendwie stimmt der Zähler nicht.

Beispiel:

Musik (55)
      ---- LP´s (0)
      ---- Singles (0)
      ---- DVD (33)

Hier wird  (0) angezeigt obwohl z.B. 18 Bilder in der Kategorie LP´s vorhanden sind.


Irgendeine Idee woran das liegt ????


Liebe Grüße

This is confusing, so you may need to read it more than once.
Is there any way that it can show the subcategory total + the total of all subcategories of the subcategory?

Somthing like this:

Category (71)
Subcategory 1 (33)

Subcategory 1.a (12)

Subcategory 1.a.1 (5) [/list:u] Subcategory 1.b (10) [/list:u]
Subcategory 2 (24)

Subcategory 2.a (24) [/list:u]
Subcategory 3 (14)
[/list:u]

What the above is showing in the () is this:
Subcategory 1 (33) = 1(11) 1.a(7) + 1.a.1(5) + 1.b(10)
Subcategory 2 (24) = 2(0) + 2.a(24)
Subcategory 3 (14) = 3(14)

What I am trying to avoid is when I have a subdirectory with 0 images, but several subsubidrectories with images.  What shows up is that the subdirectory has (0) images, but you can't see the subsubdirectory totals unless you click on the subdirectory with 0 images.  It gives the idea that there are no images in the subdirectory even though there are images in subsubdirectories.  I don't want to show the subsubdirectories on the main page, but I do want to include the images from the subsubdirectories in the totals for the subdirectories so that they do not look empty.

What the above is showing in the () is this:
Subcategory 1 (33) = 1(11) 1.a(7) + 1.a.1(5) + 1.b(10)
Subcategory 2 (24) = 2(0) + 2.a(24)
Subcategory 3 (14) = 3(14)

actualy that how it works...isnt it? atleast for me.

[alinford]

On the main page it shows like this for me:

Category (71)
Subcategory 1 (11)
Subcategory 2 (0)
Subcategory 3 (14)
[/list:u]

The problem is that Subcategory 1 looks like it has (11)images.  It actually has (33),  (11) in 1 + (7) in 1.a and (5) in 1.a.1 + (10) in 1.b.
Subcategory 2 looks like it has (0) when it actually has (24) in subcategory 2.a.
This would be like showing the Category total , but only giving the total for images in the subdirectories and not adding in subsubdirectories because they are 2 directory levels below.

[alinford]

With the script above, I can now see num_images on index.php for each category as well as each immediate subdirectory.  num_images for Category shows the total images for the category, including all subdirectories.  The problem with the code above that adds num_images for the subdirectories only shows the image total for that subdirectory.  I would like it to show the total for the subdirectory and any subdirectories inside that subdirectory.
Any ideas?

[jengwen]

Has anyone figured this out yet?  I am having the same problem.  I created a subcategory and then several subcategories under that.  My total for the main subcategory is 0, since all the images are in the subcategory under that.  For example:

Category:           Zoo Special Events (5)
Subcategory:             Egg Day (5)
Subcategory:             Migratory Bird Day (0)
Sub-Subcategory:             Games (15)
Sub-Subcategory:             Art Show (20)

This is very confusing, because only the main and subcategory show up in the main categories page, so it looks like there are no images under Migratory Bird Day, when there are actually 35.  The user doesn't know to click on it and look for the subcategories since it says there are 0 images.

If this cannot be solved, is there an easy way to show more levels of subcategory on the main category list?
