====== NAV_LIST_UL & article count ======

**RT Whenever you need/want to display the number of articles of any site structure level next to the name of the category, the script does it.**

This is the quick and dirty solution! (Simple tag solution: [[english/phpwcms_replacer_rts/frontend_render/article-count|Article counter]]) \\
This is the original NAV_LIST_UL of flip-flop that was incorporated by OG and now extended by --> **easily add the number of articles within a certain site structure level**.

**The script works exactly like [[english/navigation/nav_list_ul|NAV_LIST_UL]]**. So, you can use it with the same prominent [[english/navigation/nav_list_ul_parameters|parameters]], features as usual.


==== Example ====


**Example of the menu:** \\
Company **(4)** \\ 
Products **(37)** \\
Staff **(12)**

On the other hand it needs its own quick'n-dirty **replacement tag** \\
NLU_FF_AC_QD

**You're able to edit the output of the source code to your needs:** \\
(12) or [12] or -12 or what

\\
**Just edit**
<code php>
// Article Count Wrapper
$acw_before = " <span>(";
$acw_after = ")</span>";
</code>

\\
**Usage:**
<code html>
{NLU_FF_AC_QD:F,5,,count_articles,active}
</code>

\\
**Parent lift:**
<code html>
{NLU_FF_AC_QD:FP,4,2,act_path,active}
</code>

\\
**Inline PHP:**
<code html>
[PHP]
if(isset($GLOBALS['LEVEL_ID'][1])) {
   $level_id = $GLOBALS['LEVEL_ID'][1];
   echo '<div class="my_navi_with_the_number_of_articles_in_the_site_structure_level">';
   echo '{NLU_FF_AC_QD:,'.$level_id.',1,act_path,active}';
   echo '</div>';
}
[/PHP]
</code>

\\
For those who are interested why I chose this name: \\
- NLU = NAV_LIST_UL  \\
- FF = flip-flop  \\
- AC = article count \\
- QD = quick and dirty


==== Limitation ====


<note>
**Limitations:** There's one limitation only. The script only counts the number of articles which are in exactly **the same site structure level that appears in the menu.** //There's **no summation (unfolded)** over all.// Articles in sub-categories are ignored (in that way)!
</note>

**Example:**
Products (1 article)
  * Product_A (17 articles)
  * Product_B (3 articles)

**Output:** \\
Products (1) \\
Product_A (17) \\
Product_B (3) \\

**YOU WON'T GET:** \\
  * Products (21) //(know what i mean?)//
