Category Count Problem

[gwin]

If there is a Parent category and sub-category , Example: the user selects TICKETS - CONCERT when submitting, so both parent and child are selected. The total count shows 2 as opposed to just one. Here is code modification to correct that:

File: home/allira6/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpadverts/includes/functions.php /**

• Returns number of items in this category and all sub categories.
• @param stdClass $term Term object
• @since 0.3
• @return int Number of posts in this cantegory and sub-categories */ function adverts_category_post_count( $term ) { $cat = $term; //modified the following line $count = 0; // (int) $cat->count; $taxonomy = 'advert_category'; $args = array( 'child_of' => $term->term_id, ); $tax_terms = get_terms($taxonomy,$args); foreach ($tax_terms as $tax_term) { $count +=$tax_term->count; } //added the following if statement if($count < (int) $cat->count) { $count = (int) $cat->count; } return $count; }

We are discarding this change for now, as it will affect all categories, for example if your categories structure is

-A +-- AA +-- AB -B

and you will create Ad which is in A, AA and B categories then counts will be A (1), AA (1), B (0). With the current version, the counts would be A (2), AA (1), BB (1) which i think is more accurate.

When some other method for calculating counts will be available we will get back to this.

For now we will be adding adverts_category_post_count filter which allows recalculating number of posts in the category.
