Product Count Per Category in Magento

Question

I have this web site with the main menu (drop down effect) on my frontpage/homepage. In the main menu I have 7 different categories for my products. All categories are linked to category's pages, and that is absolutely OK.

I would like it to show how many products are in the specific category (number of total items in category, right beside the link).

for eample: Shirts (10)

Answer 1

Display product count in top menu see hear

Magento categories marked as 'Include in menu' are added by page_block_html_topmenu_gethtml_before event observer function addCatalogToTopmenuItems located in

app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Observer.php to 

app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Model/Observer.php

Lets overwrite it:

Only for subcategory menu on top

Answer 2

I found a solution to this.

Bellow is a code which is working in my case:

<?php 
$products_count = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(4)
->getProductCount();
echo($products_count);
?>

where "4" is the id of the wanted category.

thanks to Ravi Patel for his effort one more time.

Answer 3

you can get category product count by below code

<?php 

$categoryId = 'YOUR_CATEGORY_ID';
$products_count = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId)->getProductCount();

?>

Answer 4

$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories($catid);

/**
 * looping through sub categories
 * only showing active sub categories ($cat->getIsActive())
 */
foreach($collection as $cat) {
    if($cat->getIsActive()) {
        $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($cat->getEntityId());

        $prodCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')->addCategoryFilter($category);

        ?>

        <a href="<?php echo $category->getUrl() ?>"><?php echo $category->getName() ?></a> (<?php echo $prodCollection->count() ?>)<br/>

        <?php
    }
}
?>

OUTPUT:-

1. New Arrivals (14)
2. Tops & Blouses (21)
3. Pants & Denim (8)
4. Dresses & Skirts (22)
