Links create its HTML pages in a subdirectory called directory. htttp://www.mysite/directory
I want my total link count to appear on my main root page, htttp://www.mysite/

I created a template called total.html with the globals tags that you want and then calling it

<?php virtual("/cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?p=total"); ?>

However I get a 0 for the total numbers of links
There are 0 active vendors listings in the database.What am i missing???

Hi,

When running the page:

/cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?p=total

...does it show the right link count?

I would try something like this if not:


Hope that helps.

It should, if I could figure where to put it. ???

Code:
sub {
return $DB->table('Links')->count( { isValidated => 'Yes' } ) || 0;[/code]

Where do I put this
sub {
return $DB->table('Links')->count( { isValidated => 'Yes' } ) || 0;[/code]
In the head or body of with document total.html or index.php

Hi Sies,

This should be a global.

In admin panel, click on the 'Build' link on top then 'Template global' link on the left, scroll down and enter 'link_count' on the "New: " box and put the code into the box on the right. After click on the "Save chages" button, just put this code <%link_count%> in your home.html template or anywhere , the number should be printed out.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, it works great but.....
How can I format the total. the number would look better with commas ,
123,456

Hi,

Please just try this

sub {
my $c= $DB->table('Links')->count( { isValidated => 'Yes' } ) || 0;
my $sep ='.';
1 while $c=~ s/(\d)(\d{3})($|$sep)/$1$sep$2/g;
return $c;

}

Now I get this with the last code
There are 1.5.595 active vendors listings in the database.The first code gives me this
There are 155995 active vendors listings in the database.I lost a digit "9" with the latest code also.

Hi,

This will do it:

Hi
Perfect, thanks.
