I need to present the total links each subcategories have. This at main.tpl .

At the moment we have as manual explains :

{CATNUMLINKS} - Number of links in the category plus all its subcategories.
{CATLINKSHERE} - Number of links in the category excluding subcategories.

but none of them works for my purpose. Is it a way to present the number of links for each subcategory , but at main.tpl ?

Do I need to request a {SUBCATNUMLINKS} ?

Additional fields can be supported in the subcategories on main page area using the $subhtmlfields tweak: http://scripts.webmastersite.net/w...rticles/tweaksphp-359.html

In this case, $subhtml = 'numlinks,linkshere';

Thanks,

It works, but it need categories to be regenerated to update on new links added.

I notice that by sating at tweaks.php : " $dontcachesubcats = true; " , the 'catnumlinks' variable works online.

But as you say that by do not cacheing subcats we can have a server risk,
so could it be possible to have
an online value of 'catnumlinks' on subcats this working with cacheing subcats but without the need for regeneration ?

Best Regards,
Paul

It was supposed to work. I see it only refreshes the subcats html of the category the link is submitted to, not the levels above. Fixing.

I now see it working perfect.

I do have a doubt on how to deal with the hidden links.
{CATNUMLINKS} counts the presented and hidden links, I believe this is correct, but I would like a way to count the hidden links in order to deduct them and to show the number of presented but not hidden links, so maybe a {CATNUMHIDDENLINKS} to deduct or a direct {CATNUMNOHIDDENLINKS}. What do you think ?
