count number of documents inside container

Yes, I saw that in the code and tried that, but with the same result. I’ll look at it in the morning.

I’d like to count the number of children that have "Show in menu" checked. I can think of two ways to do this:

1. get the child ids for the container and iterate through them to see how many have "Show in menu" checked.
2. write a SQL select statement with a ’WHERE hidemenu=0’ clause.

#1 would seem to be the cleaner approach but I’m wondering if there is a performance penalty. Perhaps there is a better way?

I would use 2. It’s simpler in my opinion.
Let me know if you need help with that.

3. get the childs ids for the container and use the API:
