Displaying the number of items in the cat for the dropdown menu

[bowers01 +]

Hi,
I am using The Maffo Search Mod. I want how many ads are in that category next to the option in the drop down like http://everythingsfree.org/image//im...tnoexample.jpg

I beleive this is where the categories are pulled

{if $parent_dropdown}{$parent_dropdown}
	<div id="cat_string"></div>
	{if $msm_search_div}<div id="results_1"></div>{/if}
	{else}
	<select name="type" id="type" onchange="{$msm_cat_onchange}" >
	<option value=''>{$smarty.const.LANG_SEARCH_ALLCAT}</option>
	{foreach from=$msm_get_cats item=cat}
	<option {if $cat.parent_id == 0}class="parent" {/if}value="{$cat.id}"{if $msm_type==$cat.id} SELECTED {/if}>{$cat.name}</option>
	{/foreach}
	</select>
	{/if}

Anyone have any ideas on how i could do this? or if its complicated anyone willing to code this? if so please send a quote.

Cheers

You may have to check with maffo on that. It looks like parent_dropdown would have to be altered and with out seeing it is hard to tell.

Well I did ask the client to make me an offer to do the work but he didnt.

You will need to understand some ajax to do this.

You need to understand that this site is primarily for the support of 68C. With that in mind most of us do not have access to the various modules other people write so therefor cant really help you mod them.
