Is there a way to quickly count the number of products in my store?

Hi,

Just wondered if there's a way to quickly count the number of products in my store? Like doing a word count in Word, only products in Actinic.

Thanks

I think this was in Teclan's most recent newsletter - here's the link

You can also stick this snippet of HTML into a layout and it will display the number of products, duplicates and fragments on the generated page.

<actinic:block php="true">$prodcount=0;$dupcount=0;$fragcount=0;</actinic:block>
<actinic:block type="EntireSectionList">
  <actinic:block type="ProductList">
    <actinic:block php="true">
      $prodtype = <actinic:variable name="ProductType" />;
      if ( $prodtype == 0 ) $prodcount++;
      if ( $prodtype == 1 ) $dupcount++;
      if ( $prodtype == 2 ) $fragcount++;
    </actinic:block>
  </actinic:block>
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block php="true">echo "Products: $prodcount, Duplicates: $dupcount, Fragments: $fragcount";</actinic:block>

It loops through the entire site, so don't put it on every page as it will slow Actinic down. You could put a BlockIf around it so it only displays on the store top for example.

You can also put it into a product or fragment description, between !!< and >!! so Actinic knows that it's code.
