Show Total # Of Downloads

[BillDCat]

Is there any way to get the total number of files, including those in sub-categories, that are in a Download Category to display in the "()" next to the category?

For instance, say I have category called "Cat A". Under "Cat A" I have "Sub 1" and "Sub 2". There are 2 files located in both "Sub 1" and "Sub 2" but none directly in "Cat A". The resulting number of files in the "()" is 0 even though there are 4 files that ultimately reside in the category.

-Downloads
---Cat A (0)
-----Sub 1
--------File 1
--------File 2
-----Sub 2
--------File 3
--------File 4

Also, is there any way to have Sub Categories show up under the main category listing in the Downloads page.

My problem is that I have people think that the categories are empty when really all the files reside in sub-categories.

Thanks!

I think this has been discussed before as has been submitted as a feature request. At the moment it is not possible.

Hi,

Since it seems hard to solve the issue, isn't there a way to leave out the number completely. No (0) or eg (15). For us it is better to show no number at all, since customers indeed stop searching at (0).

Yes, that's what I did in the meantime ...

- Go to Admin Control Panel
- click on Templates -> Manage Templates -> Downloads -> dlcatdisplay
- remove "(<{$item[1][totalitems]}>)" and "(<{$item[2][totalitems]}>)"
