Count and show number of listings in showlistings.tpl

[jason1971 +]

Hi all,

What im looking to acheive is at the top of the showlistings.tpl page, to show the number of items within that chosen category.

So it would read something like: There are 56 caravans for sale

Any pearls of wisdom welcome

Many Many thanks in advance

Jason

You should be able to use the smarty vaariable {$numrows} in the showlistings.tpl

There is a smarty var called {$pageNum} as well which displays the page you are on.

If you have your site to display 10 ads per page then you should be able to do some basic math to display what you want.

if you on the second page....

pagenum times 10 should give you the starting ad number

{$pageNum * 10} would give you the number 20. You probably need to add some logic to detrmine if you on the first page though otherwise ti will say showing 10-10.

add 10 to the above math to get page displayed max ad number

{$pageNum *10+10}

BUT what if you are on page 4 and have only 45 ad? It would say 40-50 of 45 so you need to do some more math to check the values.


Showing
{if $pageNum =="1"}
{$pageNum}
{else}
{$pageNum * 10}
{/if}
-
{if $pageNum *10+10 > $numrows}
{$numrows}
{else}
{$pageNum *10+10 }
{/if}
of
{$numrows}
listings.

The above isnt testd but should give you a start.

This seems to work well.

Showing 
{if $pageNum =="1"}
{$pageNum} - 15
{else}
{$pageNum*15-15} - 
{/if}
{if $pageNum =="1"}
{else}
{if $pageNum*15 > $numrows}
{$numrows} 
{else} 
{$pageNum*15+15-15 } 
{/if} 
{/if}
of 
{$numrows} 
listings.
