Revo - GetChildCount Problem - Counts unpublished documents

I found the following snippet code (Original Post) created by opengeek some years back called GetChildCount:


The call:


When I use the code it counts everything - even if the children are unpublished

Using the depth setting gives you when using more than "1" a count of all children found in the parent including folders and their children

Not being a PHPr myself, is it possible to prevent the code from counting unpublished documents (default setting) and adding the function to not count folders at required levels, if yes, how complex would it be to re-write the snippet ?

Example call:


Commercial solutions are welcome.

Thanks for the help [ed. note: iusemodx last edited this post 8 years, 4 months ago.]

You should be able to do something with

Thanks for your support Susan

But I have no idea what I shoul do with that nor do I have an idea what it does

I presume ref: published that the code looks if the document is published or not

Does this code add the hide folders bit ?

No, but that array is like any other array, you can add more conditions. That array sets up the WHERE conditions in the actual query. Let me think about it, I'll see if I can develop the actual snippet for you.

Usage:

The snippet code:

https://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/developing-in-modx/basic-development/snippets/how-to-write-a-good-snippet

It really should have default values for those two getOption functions and a bit of error trapping but this is just a quick-and-dirty snippet for you.

Of course there are any number of other ways to do the same thing, this one just comes to mind right now.

Thanks Susan, but it doesnt work

I get the following:

that gets rid of that extra ] near the end. [ed. note: sottwell last edited this post 8 years, 4 months ago.]
