Create Category Block with stat

[lexor]

Hello

Id like to create category block on frontpage to show all categories and link stat.Categories name should be clickable.

For example:
Business (425 link)
Books (417 link)
etc...

How can i do that?

Thanx
Sam

You'd need to make a block first, which is quite simple really. Then you would need to find out what variables get called from the index and add them to the block so that you can display the categories plus link count.

It's not a 30 second job, but not impossible either.

Could you share the code what i have to put in the block?

I don't know it or have it. I'd have to create it just like you.

it already does this? just use <%block_category_list%>

Does that show link numbers as well? I didn't think it did.
