how to get a civicrm 'contact-counter' in drupal?
September 06, 2014, 04:50:41 am
Hi,

in drupal, I have a drupal user counter in a block like this:

Code: [Select]
<?php
$members = db_query("SELECT count(uid) FROM {users} where uid > 0")->fetchField();
echo "Er zijn momenteel $members online leden";
?>[code]

but how can I get the number of contacts from specific groups?

regards

There are so many ways to do a simple count of contacts. Try this for example:

Code: [Select]
civicrm_initialize();
civicrm_api3('contact', 'getcount', array('group' => 3)); // will return count of contacts in group id 3

It is php. If you need the exact code to copy/paste into a drupal block, here it is (assuming you want group id 3 - change that to your group's actual id):
Code: [Select]
<?php
civicrm_initialize();
$count = civicrm_api3('contact', 'getcount', array('group' => 3));
echo "Group 3 has {$count['result']} members.";
?>

Thank you,

I have tried your code, copy/pasted it in my block with php but it is not displaying the number, only 'group has members'

Did you put in the correct group id?
You can insert
Code: [Select]
print_r($result); at the end to see what's going on.
