How do i display number of entries as text string {absolute_count} or {absolute_results} without duplicating the value in the exp: channel tag? The page uses pagination.

ex: total number of classes:
{exp:channel:entries channel="bioclass" disable="member_data|trackbacks" }
{absolute_results}
{/exp:channel:entries}

displays:
total number of classes: 5 5 5 5 5

Give this a try and see if it does what you need :

{exp:channel:entries
    channel="bioclass"
    disable="member_data|trackbacks"}

{if count == "1"}{absolute_results}{/if}

{/exp:channel:entries}

Hi, the above example does not work for me. I am trying to display the total amount of entries to a single channel. Problem is that it repeats the count from 1 to 10 eg:

Code:
{exp:channel:entries channel="document_repository" }
{absolute_count}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Output:
1 2 3 4 5 6

I need the final amount which is 6.
Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Nathaniel,

Try this in your instance :

{exp:channel:entries channel=“document_repository” }
{if count == total_results}{total_results}{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Hope that helps a bit.

YAY, dude you rock - thanks it works. They should put this into the manual as the manual is very unclear on how to actually use single variables. Anyway, thanks again.

No problem at all.

Glad that got things sorted for you.

Best wishes,
