Main categories product counter

[danny88]

I want that every category in the category block will have an item counter; the item counter is the sum of all the products from all the subcategories.

Like:

Laptops ( 25 models )
   |
   toshiba
   |    |
   |   2009 models ( 15 models )
   dell
        |
        2010 models ( 10 models ) 

How can I do this ? Thanks.

My AJAX Sliding Categories module has that feature. There is also a free module available here if you don't want to pay for a module.

i added it and i get this error :

Notice: Undefined index: product_count in /var/www/vhosts/httpdocs/modules/blockcategories/blockcategories.php on line 83

also the categories are missing. what's the problem ?

I'm guessing you are using the free module that I didn't write rather than my paid module, since my module is called blockcategoriesnc. I'm not familiar with that free module, but I do now that notices are not errors and can be safely ignored, though it is good to fix them. It appears that the module is using a variable before declaring it. You can modify the module and add $product_count = 0; before line 83 of modules/blockcategories/blockcategories.php to make sure that the variable is initialised with a value.
