Hi,l

So literally just grab the number of links in a given sub-category?

There are a couple of ways of doing this...

1) Add the new global: get_subcat_count

Code:
sub { 
	return $DB->table('CatLinks')->count( { CategoryID => $_[0] } ) || 0; 
}

...call with:

<%get_subcat_count(1234)%> (1234 = the category ID you wanna get)

2) Use the existing field in the Category table:

get_subcat_count

Code:
sub { 
	return $DB->table('Category')->select( ['Direct_Links'], { ID => $_[0] } )->fetchrow; 
}

Untested, but both of those should do the trick (the 2nd one is probably the better option, seeing as GLinks has already been so nice to give you that value <G>)
