Javascript variable for results count

Anonymous

I need to give the masonry plugin I use a total amount of results. Is there a way your plugin gives me a js variable that has that amount. Is there another way to do it?

Before I ask our developer, Ross, whether that can be done from our end, how would you pass it to your plugin? Are you using our ajaxfinish event?

Yes, I’m using the ajaxfinish event.

I will ask Ross if this exists.

Hi Brian

Its not possible yet.

There is a workaround you can do though.

Inside your results area (the area you defined as your Ajax Container), you can add a hidden input:

<input type="hidden" name="number-of-posts" value="<?php echo $query->found_posts; ?>" id="number-of-posts" />

(Depending on your display method, $query might have a different variable name such as $wp_query)

Then, in your JS sf:ajaxfinish event, you can grab the value like:

var noPosts = $('#number-of-posts').val();

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks
