New plugin: exp_catcount (myFirstPlugin)

My first plugin is a simple one. It’s to count posts in a category. Previously (forum thread) i used to insert query module stuff, now just use {exp:exp_catcount cat_id='x'}

{exp:weblog:categories weblog="news"}
{category_name} : {exp:exp_catcount cat_id="{category_id}" status="closed"} posts

{/exp:weblog:categories}

Hope this comes in handy for some of you.

usage

{exp:exp_catcount cat_id="x" [weblog_id="x"] [status="x"] }

returns:

number of posts in a category [from weblog, with particular status].

parameters: cat_id : cat_id of the category (mandatory) weblog_id : (optional) limit to weblog (otherwise counts posts of all weblogs using the same category group) status : (optional) limit to post with status=…

(otherwise : default = open)
