Total number of links

[imagis]

I want to show on very page TOTAL (not category based) number of links.

I know Smarty so i can add into templates but how i can get total number of links into directory ?

Thanks

***Open index.php and find code***

	/** get related categories **/
	if ($config->get('related'))
	{
		$related_categories = $Category->getRelated($id);
		$related_categories = $related_categories ? $gDirLayout->print_categories($related_categories) : '';
		$gDirSmarty->assign_by_ref('related_categories', $related_categories);
	}

***Below add***

	$total_num_category = $Category->row("*","`id`='0' and status='active'");
	$gDirSmarty->assign('total_num_links', $total_num_category['num_all_links']);

***Save changes***
In the template files you can use the {$total_num_links} variable.

Thanks.

I am wondering, is not much easier to add all those questions and replies as a FAQ (categorized) on site ? Or even on a eSynd installation.

I mean you guys spending lot of time replying on forums. Is good, but with an online FAQ will be much easier for all i guess...

This doesn't means forum is not useful, i just think is harder to search answers by searching here than looking over a categorized FAQ. ANd for you less time spent on support.
