Plugin: Entries Number

nix that. wrong thread sigh

Hi,

I have a list in sidemenu of categories and entries form these categories. Some of categories will just have 1 entry so then I dont want to display this entry as the name it will be like a category name. Can I use entries_number plugin to work that out?

What I have now is not working:

{exp:weblog:category_archive weblog="about-us" style="nested" sort="desc" orderby="date"}

{categories}
<span><a href="http://{path=about-us/index}">» {category_name}</a></span>
{/categories}

{exp:entries_number category="{category_id}" weblog="about-us" site="1"}
{entry_titles}
{if entries_number > 1}
<a href="http://{path=about-us/index}">» {title}</a>
{/if}
{/entry_titles}
{/exp:entries_number}

{/exp:weblog:category_archive}

Thank you, Agata

More and more feature requests will make this plugin an exact clone of exp:weblog:entries tag 😛

Hi Agata,

Your code is not possible since {category_id} variable is not supported inside {entry_titles}{/entry_titles} variable pair.

Hi Laisvunas,

Yes, I know it is not supported. I found another way:

{exp:weblog:categories weblog="about-us" style="linear" show_empty="no" disable="category_fields"}
<ul class="nav_cat_archive"><li><span class="{category_url_title}"><a href="http://{path=about-us/index}">{category_name}</a></span>
<ul>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="about-us" category="{category_id}" disable="trackbacks|member_data|pagination|categories" url_title="not {category_url_title}" dynamic="off"}
    <li><a href="http://{site_url}about-us/{url_title}">» {title}</a></li>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
{/exp:weblog:categories}

So all is working 😊

Laisvunas, will this plugin be updated to work with EE2?

Hi Todd,

I will update at some stage this plugin to be compatible with EE2, but currently I have no definite plans.

So, if you need this plugin to be compatible with EE2 now, consider converting it by yourself.

Ok, thanks for the update Laisvunas. I don’t have a current need for it… but might in the future and at that time I might peruse the code to see if I can figure out how to convert it. Never done that before.

Hey Laisvunas,

Is it possible to add the “search=” parameter to your plugin? I’m trying to get an entry count where the result is limited to entries that match a particular custom field.

Wonderful stuff, by the way.

Hi,

Good idea.

I will have it in mind when releasing a new version of this plugin.

Thanks, Laisvunas. How often do you get around to updating your plugins? I see you have about 800 😊
