I would like to display article count in a single category.
$categoryName = "CategoryName";
$n = count($this->category->$categoryName);
echo "This category has ".$n." articles in it!";
This is not working (example).
There is a parameter allowing you to do this already. Assign a Category List or Category Blog Menu item and then choose under the Category Options parameters tab. Change No Articles Message to show.
The reason that your code isn't working - is because a single category is just represented by $this->category.
However for either Category Blog or Category List layouts you can simply use:
$categoryName = "CategoryName";
if($this->category->title==$categoryName) {
count($this->category->getNumItems(true))
}
http://docs.joomla.org/Help25:Menus_Menu_Item_Article_Category_Blog#Category_Options
Try this.
The default category layout contain the count of the articles in it.
take a look at this components\com_content\views\categories\tmpl
Also you can found the count count($item->getChildren())
Hope this may you..

Magento v1.7.0.2
We've been using this version several years now.
We have several free and paid extensions and last month we created our first bundled product.
When in list view the price is shown as 'Start at 0,00' for some products.
Other bundles products are fine and show the correct minimum price.
I've been searching for a while now, but can't find a workable solution.
Here's a sample page: http://www.scrapwebshop.nl/kado-tip.html
I finally got it working. It is probably not the right nor most efficient way, but the result is what I need. And that is what counts ;)
I now I have a grouped product, so I loop through all associated products, put their prices in an array. Next I sort to get the lowest value on top and get the first array entry.
I hope it helps somebody else:
$associatedProducts = $_product->getTypeInstance(true)->getAssociatedProducts($_product);
foreach ($associatedProducts as $assoc) {
$prices[] = $assoc->price;
}
sort($prices, SORT_NUMERIC);
$_minimalPrice = array_shift($prices);
$_exclTax = $_taxHelper->getPrice($_product, $_minimalPrice);
$_inclTax = $_taxHelper->getPrice($_product, $_minimalPrice, true)
How can I get the total number of Items, I want to show it in the category view.phtml file. Usually this value is in the Toolbar.phtml.
I have tried something like this, but I think I am pretty far away:
$this->helper('catalog/output')->$_productCollection->count()
Magento version 1.7.0.2
The expected result should be something like this:
Items in this category: 17
The 17 should be the total number. If possible should include subcategory items.
Assuming that you want to display it in view.phtml you already have the current category object there so you can use $_category->getId()
$products_count = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId())
->getProductCount();
echo($products_count);
If you want to use it in list.phtml you can use
echo($_productCollection->count());
Try this,
<?php $_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');?>
<?php $_category_detail = Mage::registry('current_category');?>
<?php $_category_detail->getName();?>
<?php $_category_detail->getId(); ?>
<?php $products_count = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category_detail->getId())
->getProductCount();
echo($products_count);
?>
Basically, you can't show the total amount of filtered items in your view.phtml.
the reason is, that the logic, which gets the total amount, is not present in the $this context of the view.phtml.
But the logic is available in the Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar block which is a child block of Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List, though.
that basically means that you can actually get the total amount of filtered items by instantiating a toolbar and list block.
After doing that, the collection of the toolbar block has to be set with the value of the collection of the list block.
the following code is used in the view.phtml file to get the filtered total amount of items from the toolbar block:
$toolbar = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar();
$list = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List();
$toolbar-> setCollection($list -> getLoadedProductCollection());
$products_count = $toolbar -> getTotalNum();
There can be two ways we can find product count of a category.
$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('name')
->addAttributeToSelect('level')
->addAttributeToSelect('entity_id');
foreach($collection as $cat)
$cat->getProductCount();
This will give you the product count for deepest category only. So for example, you have following categories. considering tree like structure.
Clothes(6)
->Cotton(3)
->Women(2)
The result returned from the piece of code given above.
Clothes(3)
Cotton(1)
Women(2)
There are three products directly associated with Clothes only, 1 with Cotton only and 2 with Women only. So it simply ignores the subcategories.
Another way is getting product count from products perspective.
$current_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($cat->getEntityId());
$productCount = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
->addFieldToFilter('manufacturer',$this->manufacturer["id"])
->addFieldToFilter('visibility',4)
->addFieldToFilter('status',1)
->addCategoryFilter($current_category)->getSize();
This gives us the added benefit of filtering product attributes. However in the above scenario, the count returned will be slightly different.
It will return Clothes (6), as it has 3 products associated to itself and 3 more products to its sub categories. Similarly
Cotton(3)
Women(2).
So for efficient results it would be nice to use mix of both.
It's not right to load additional model inside view because you already have model instance from which you can retrieve Product collection.
$this->getCurrentCategory()->getProductCollection()->count();
it is very simple and it worked well for me its just one line of code
<?php echo Mage::registry('current_category')->getProductCount();?>
It will display the count of the products of current category
I am using following tutorial to display the most sold product sort by option(Filtering) to display on product listing page in magento?
Tutorial
/app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Model/Resource/Product/collection.php
<?php
public function sortByReview($dir){
$table = $this->getTable('review/review');
$entity_code_id = Mage::getModel('review/review')->getEntityIdByCode(Mage_Rating_Model_Rating::ENTITY_PRODUCT_CODE);
$cond = $this->getConnection()->quoteInto('t2.entity_pk_value = e.entity_id and ','').$this->getConnection()->quoteInto('t2.entity_id = ? ',$entity_code_id);
$this->getSelect()->joinLeft(array('t2'=>$table), $cond,array('review' => new Zend_Db_Expr('count(review_id)')))
->group('e.entity_id')->order("review $dir");
}
?>
But I want to sort products which are most sold from every category.
How can I do this?
Is there any free extension available for this?
I did the following thing as the client did not want automatically filter most sold product.
I created an attribute "popular" as drop down and give values from 1 to 5.Then marked "Used for Sorting in Product Listing" to Yes.
After this the attribute was visible under sorting options.
I'm aware of the setting in the admin panel for the default number of products to show on the category list pages. This appears to be a global setting for the whole store. I'm looking for a way to set this on a per category basis (e.g. have most categories default to 25 products per page, but one specific category default to showing all products on the first page). Ideally this would be done in admin or in a .phtml file if possible. How can I set the default products per page for a specific category?
Take a look in
design/package/theme/catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml
The items per page select drop down is generated by a for loop around:
$this->getAvailableLimit()
The block for the toolbar has the following method on it:
public function getLimitUrl($limit)
{
return $this->getPagerUrl(array(
$this->getLimitVarName() => $limit,
$this->getPageVarName() => null
));
}
The trick is to do one of the two following:
1) leverage magento to build the proper url when it is injected in any link directing to the category you want to be in view all mode.
2) on the /catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml block check the current category, if the current category is the desired category execute the following code:
if( strtoupper($this->getLimitVarName()) != "ALL" )
{
$viewAllUrl = $this->getLimitUrl('All');
$this->_redirectUrl( $viewAllUrl );
}
At Admin Panel
Go to -> CMS -> Pages -> Home Page
Click on "Content" tab on LEFT
Click on "Show/Hide Editor" Button at RIGHT
Copy - Paste This Code there :
{{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="2" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
Give Category ID of your desired Category
To check Category_id of any category Go to : Catalog Menu -> Manage Catagories
Click on category, at right side's TITLE somewhat like will be displayed :
"CATEGORY_NAME ( ID : 5 )"

My VirtueMart shop.browse page has the typical columns of SKU, Name, Price, and "Update" (which contains the Add to Cart button). I would like to add a Quantity column between Price and Update so that a buyer can choose a quantity prior to pressing the "Add to Cart" button.
Though I don't know HOW to do this, I think I know WHERE to do it:
/public_html/components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/browse/includes/browse_listtable.tpl.php
Lines 67-72 of that file tell the program how to build the table, but what I DON'T know how to do is modify the code source to tell it to include quantity as an element for the table. Here's the code:
// Loop through each row and build the table
foreach($data as $key => $value) {
$table->addRow( $data[$key], 'class="sectiontableentry'.$i.'"', 'td', true );
$i = $i == 1 ? 2 : 1;
}
Which include file is actually being called in this foreach loop, and what code would I add to reference quantity data?
You should not modify your core code. If you just need to put quantity box inside your browse template use variable $form_addtocart
It will give you quantity box and add to cart button.
All variables for browse page and for flypage template you can find here:

If this is not what you are trying to get, please be more specific, or show your web page.
