Perhaps unnecessary loop foreach () to count the number of products

[konstantin-shkodskih]

I noticed in your category template file \components\com_virtuemart\views\category\tmpl\default.php following:

Code Select Expand

$BrowseTotalProducts = 0;
foreach ($this->products as $product) {
$BrowseTotalProducts++;
}


Can I use: $ this-> category-> productcount,
then there is a need for this code? (ibid. appropriate comment from Max Milbers)
(VirtueMart v.2.0.18a)

does that code work???

[Milbo]

$BrowseTotalProducts = count($this->products);

should work, but not productcount,imho. totalproducts is the amount of products which you see, productcount is the value of all products in the category.
