Re: Number of records in block

If you want to find the no. of records retrieved by an enter-query/execute-query then
you can use

get_block_property('block_name',query_hits);

But this will not be effective if you delete or add a record after that. As it shows only the no. of records fetched from the database during the last query.

If you did find a way to count the records at any time, not only after query, but also after deletion or addition. Then please post it in the newsgroup.
I am interested too.
