I ported a site I started in Drupal 5 to Drupal 6 recently, and one of the things I used in Drupal 5 was the "Count of items in view" function in viewfield. I am not seeing anywhere in the 6.x-1.x-dev version to do that. Am I missing something or is that not available in Drupal 6?

If not, does anyone know other modules or ways to do that?

I could be wrong but I think this can be done by adding the option "Global: View result counter" from the Groups dropdown for "Global" (when you click to add a Field) in the original view. Then use the Viewfield normally to display the view and it will have the count column.

Hope that helps. Plz do post back whether this works out or not with your comments so other folks can find the correct solution as well.

That didn't work at all. Still looking for a good way of displaying a count of view results.

This issue was the main reason I didn't migrate a D5 site to D6 yet. But as D7 seems to get released soon, I need to do the port yet. I, too, am missing this feature of the viewfield module in D6. I think it should be available as a display for the viewfield like in the D5 version, and thus this display can be used in the view when rendering the content of the viewfield.

Why can't you use a separate views display that just outputs the count?
