Total Result Count with ajax

Hi Tom

How are you trying to do this?

In WP, the variable is always in the query (if your display results method is set to shortcode, this will need adapting, let me know):

global $wp_query;
echo $wp_query->found_posts

So you would need to add this in to your template, inside the Ajax Area.

If I am following right though, you would like to display this data outside of the Ajax Area?

In this case, the best thing to do would be to add a hidden element inside the ajax area:

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $found_posts; ?>" id="my-found-posts" />

Then with JavaScript, when you have new results loaded with Ajax, you find this variable and append it to the page somewhere.

Take a look at the event sf:ajaxfinish which would be the right time to get this variable:

Let me know if that makes sense, and if I’ve jumped the gun here!

Thanks
