    Hi there,

    How could I write a custom function to get the number of results shown in a particular form?

    many thanks
    Andrew

    Hi Trevor,

    Sorry about that, I have renewed the license just now. I only want to show the number of results displayed.

    I would like to display this on top of the page, this is why I think a function is what I need, because then I can place it wherever I want on the page.

    What Display Results Method does your form use?

    I am using the two shortcodes like this on each page. Each page has a different ID and I have 10 different pages.

    [searchandfilter id=”11443″]
    [searchandfilter id=”11443″ show=”results”]

    Inside the settings, loading results with AJAX (all checked). Also I only return results which match specific post meta data.

    for example:
    br_category = “Style”

    I suppose it might just be easier for the function to go through the custom post type “Brands” and count all the posts which have the custom field: br_category = “Style” ?

    In the standard results.php template that the shortcode method uses, it shows the results count. Is this what you meant that you want, or have you deleted that part of the template PHP?
