What I’m looking for is a way to display the word “Category” if a particular channel entry is only assigned one category, but display the word “Categories” if the channel entry has more than one category assigned to it. Currently my category footer on channel entries looks like this:

<strong>Category:</strong> {categories backspace="8"}<a href="http://{path={segment_1}/index}">{category_name}</a> • {/categories}

So if I can change that word “Category” based on whether there is more than one category that would be awesome.

Anyone have anything?

Thanks!

You could use the query module.

{exp:query sql="SELECT COUNT(cat_id) as cat_count FROM exp_category_posts WHERE entry_id = {entry_id}"}

    {if cat_count == 1}
        Category:
    {if:else}
        Categories:
    {/if}

{/exp:query}
