Check out the "Javi" theme at http://dev.plogger.org/browser/themes/javi. I built in a photo, album, and collection counting function within the theme.
Was trying to do this as well and had a look at the original thread you posted earlier
Got this to work in beta 3 by adding the following to plog-functions
function plogger_count_pictures() { $numquery = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS `num_pictures` FROM `".TABLE_PREFIX."pictures`"; $numresult = run_query($numquery); $num_pictures = mysql_result($numresult, 'num_pictures'); return $num_pictures; }
and then just call the function plogger_count_pictures() anywhere yo want it to appear (I placed it in the default theme header.php file like so <td>'.plogger_count_pictures().'</td>)
