Questions answered by this recipe

How can I display the number of pages on my site, in a group, or matching some other criteria?

UPDATE: I have been informed by Pm that the features in this recipe have been included in PmWiki core starting with PmWiki version 2.2.0-beta51. This feature (fmt=count) is now documented in the fmt= section on the Page Lists page. Ian MacGregor.

Description

The fplcount.php Δ script adds a fmt=count option to (:pagelist:), returning a simple count of pages in the list. Here are some examples:

   Pages on the site:             (:pagelist list=all fmt=count:)
   Pages in the Cookbook group:   (:pagelist group=Cookbook fmt=count:)
   Pages linking to Profiles.Pm:  (:pagelist link=Profiles.Pm fmt=count:)

   Pages on the site:             9144
   Pages in the Cookbook group:   1791
   Pages linking to Profiles.Pm:  723

Installation

Add the following line to config.php

include_once('cookbook/fplcount.php');

Notes

Note that the option is fmt=count without a '#', this differs from fmt=#count (with a '#') in that the latter refers to a pagelist template named "#count".

Comments

How to add more than one group? Or, better, how to list all groups minus PmWiki, Main, Site (default installation groups).
