XF 2.3 Variable to get total forums in a category?

[Miyevan]

Good morning everyone,

Is there a variable I can use in templates to return the total of forums in a category? That doesn't include subforums of course just main forums.
I am thinking to create a category specifically for our game servers which should return total servers (total forums in that category) and total active players or currently online (I can do this using javascript).

Regards

I don't recall seeing this in variables, but I don't think it would be impossible to do with a template edit using <xf:foreach> and <xf:set> to set a new variable and place it where you wanted.

Interesting concept that I could implement on one of my forums too. So, if it's not gotten to by someone else, I may have a solution to this sometime within the next 6 hours as I'm currently out.

Thank you, meanwhile I will try this by creating an add-on.

Edit: Looks like {$children|count} is enough to return only Childs of the current Forum.
