Image count on showlisting.tpl

You would just need to query the DB table for the count of rows for the listing id in a plugin. I could see how this would be very handy, so I went ahead and made the plugin!

The plugin, simply returns the integer number of pics (including 0). Use it like any other plugin and use $entry.id for the lid like this in your showlistings(2).tpl file and any text that you want to display before and after the plugin call:

Example might be used after the actual thumbnail pic on a new line
<div style="width:100%;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">
{total_pics lid=$entry.id} pics
</div>

Did this work the way you wanted it to, Jason?

Uh oh, Freeze! I can see it now...

Code:

{total_pics lid=$entry.id assign="pics"}
{if $pics==0}
  <strong>{$owner} is so LAME<br />
  He didn't upload any pics!!!</strong>
{else}
  <br />There are $pics pics.
{/if}
