subcategory count question

[MrGForce +]

I know this has been asked before, but I want to see if anyone has come up with a solution yet.

I only have around 60 subcategories total. On my front page I tell the program to just list the parent categories with the total of all ads in their respective parent categories. That works fine.

I also have just the parent categories showing when you click on the "Browse" link. I did this by remarking out the line in the browse.tpl file that displays the sub-categories also. Then when you click on any of the main categories, it shows the sub-cats under that parent with all the sub-cat totals next to each. So it's picking that info up somewhere.

So how can I get these sub-cat totals to show up when you click on the "Browse" link if I un-remark that line in the browse.tpl file so it shows the parent and all of it's subs with their respective totals?

I believe the sql info is gotten by the includes/classes/kernel/Category.php file, but can't figure out how to make that code include the sub-cat totals when displaying them under the main cats. It only seems to want to display those totals when you're not displaying parent category names.

I believe the code that would do the counting is under the ......

function getSubCategoriesList in the Category.php file

Can someone help with this?

Thanks.

I think this is what you are after. Inside getSubCategoriesList:

if($Core->settings['showTotal']=='Y')
                {
                    $arr_childs = array($rs['id']);
                    $this->get_ids($arr_childs);
                    $cat[$i]['total']=$this->get_count($arr_childs);
                }

Hi Eric;

But how would I add that info to the browse.tpl file to make it also pick up those totals along with the total for the whole category?
