XF 2.3 How to display number of posts in header

[Davyc]

I'm not even sure if this is possible, but if anyone can shed some light on this, it would be appreciated. I would like to show the number of posts in a node in the header of the node (see mock-up below) I would change posts to 'Movies' so it would give members an indication of how many movies are in that category.



Each category of movies is a node and each movie is a post, if those parameters help. With thanks to anyone who can help.

You can use {$total} movies in this category in the forum_view template.

Brilliant, thank you for the speedy reply. As soon as I get it styled, I'll post a screenshot

There we go, just as I wanted it to appear. Needed to use conditionals so this did not appear in forums without movies, such as in the 'Community' sections, but it's worked fine. Thanks again @Paul B



I've changed the wording, but may change it again - need to think on it, lol
