adding blog post count next to category menu item
I have a blog site in which has a drop down menu displaying the blog categories. What i would like to do is add a count of the number of blog posts under each category, next to the navigation menu item:

i.e: CATEGORIES
> SPORTS (3)
> SOCIAL (2)
> GENERAL (5)

Can anyone tell me the code i would need to add to achieve this in the menu?


cheers

Hi,

The best way would be to use repeater to render the menu and in its transformation you can use the count of the subitems. Menu web part was not designed for this and it would require pretty big modification of its code.

Best regards,
