    Is it possible with getResources to count and output the number of children the container has under it?

    Like: container-name (22)

    Thanks

        I tried that but can’t get it to work :-{
        Also I don’t want to output all the file names but only the name of the container and the number of files in it.

          It does work as I have it on my site and it just counts the children and outputs a number.

          How have you tried it ?

            What I have tried is a container called "Test" has id 43 and contains 5 files

            Test
            - FileA
            - FileB
            - FileC
            - FileD
            - FileE

            I tried the following

            Snippet:

            <?php
$count = 0;
$parent = isset($parent) ? (integer) $parent : 0;
if ($parent > 0) {
    $criteria = array(
        'parent' => $parent,
        'deleted' => false,
        'published' => true,
    );
    $count = $modx->getCount('modResource', $criteria);
}
return (string) $count;
?>


            On the page:

            [[getResources? &parents=`43` &showHidden=`1` &tpl=`count` &limit=`30` &depth=`0`]]

            tpl "count":

            <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a> ([[getChildCount? &parent=`[[+id]]`]])

            Outputs on the page:

            FileA (0)
            FileB (0)
            FileC (0)
            FileD (0)
            FileE (0)

            But I would like it to output:

            Test (5)

              Then you need to use the parent of 43, not 43 as the parent... huh

                    I have it working now with:

                    [[getResources? &parents=`2` &resources=`-44,-45,-46,-47,-48,-49,-50,-51,-52` &showHidden=`0` &tpl=`count` &limit=`30` &depth=`0`]]

                    I have to set all the other containers under parent 2 with &resources=`-44,-45,... to exclude them.
                    It would be great if it was possible to have the other containers under 2 excluded automatic?

                    Well it is working now smiley Thanks for the replys!

                      Perhaps UltimateParent can do the trick?
