Number of items in a Section

[Richardpixel]

Been a while since I've worked on one of my client Actinic/SellerDeck sites and I've been trying to find a way to include the number of items (sub sections) within a section range.

So when we have the section menu, we would have something like Pens (48) | Clocks (12) etc.

Can this be done?

Thanks, Richard

<actinic:block type="ChildSectionList" >
	<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ListIndex%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%201">
		(<actinic:variable name="ListCount" />)
	</actinic:block>
</actinic:block>

Okay, that's exactly what I asked, thanks Norman. But looking at it now, think we actually need to know the total number of products within any section, rather than number of child sections. Is there a variable for that? Can't seem to find one.

Try replacing ChildSectionList in the above with ProductList.

If you're then about to ask how can I count all products within the sub-section and their child, sections, etc; that's a lot more complex and is already somewhere on the Community. Searching should find it.

See http://community.sellerdeck.com/showthread.php?t=27615 for a rather long discussion.

There will undoubtedly be other threads.

See what you mean! Thanks, I'll take a look.

Perhaps they're going to announce this in V12???

Does anyone know if this has been added in V12?

If not I'm going to have try and implement this and it looks a bit messy!
