Display total number of links on homepage?

[john34]

Is there way to Display the total number of links live on your homepage?

This might work for you:

Content visible to registered users only.


Good luck,

Bill :D

Content visible to registered users only.

I am also wanting to do this. It didn't seem to work for me BigDog. Lot's of php errors. Any more ideas on how to do this?

[Boby]

Strange, bigdogs script is running very well on my installation :)

However, if you want to integrate the resulted number into your template I would suggest to add this line to index.phpContent visible to registered users only.
on the bottom of the file, above Content visible to registered users only.

Then in you main.tpl or whatever template file add:Content visible to registered users only.

It's exactly the same thing as bigdogs, just it integrates into the template and is not shown eighter on top or on bottom of the page.

Yikes!! I wasn't very user friendly. Boby, thanks for clearing up what I left out.

Thanks so much to you both for your help. I never usually have this much trouble, but I still can't get the darn thing to work. At least there are no errors now, just the Total Links: then blank after it.

Just to confirm, in the index.php I put:
Content visible to registered users only.

Then in my main.tpl
Content visible to registered users only.

Am I missing something simple?

I presume you're using phpld2?

Then try this perhaps:

{topic no longer availalble}


Works for me and i'm using 3.02

Net.

Oh, and if you want it on the homepage only then wrap the main.tpl code with this code:

Content visible to registered users only.

But I suspect you already knew that :)

Out.

$total_links is an array that you have to extract the values from in your template. So this is what Net is suggesting, {$total_links[1]}, I think.

[Neticus]

Content visible to registered users only.

I don't know, im just suggesting he trys the mod link i gave him and if he wants it on his home page only then wrap the mods main.tpl code with the code posted in my second post.

Aloha :)

Neticus: Thanks so much, works perfectly now. This forum rocks.
