Hi Bob, hi others,

another question, I couldn't figure it out by myself - perhaps it it easy to solve...

I have a connectivity listing working with filter fields and so on, which is giving me a list of database entries - working fine.
I want to show the number of hits, that are currently displayed / matching the filter criteria - how can I achieve that (the variable holding that value is already in use in the pagination stuff I think, but I cannot find out how to display the "total count" on its own, e.g. above the listing...

Thanks in advance,
Anne

Hi Anne,

Not sure how to do this, I don't remember if CC returns the total count in the listing data. I'll try to take a look.

Just for clarity, what you want is the total number of records found, not the number shown on the current listing page?

Bob

Hi Bob,
thats correct - the number of records found is what I'm looking for...

Thank you for helping me,
Anne

Hi Anne,

I think I have found it, please try $this->view->Paginator->total for example:

<p>The total number of records found is <?php echo $this->view->Paginator->total; ?></p>

Bob

Hi Bob,

Have a nice day,
Anne
