create a MySQL query in the php file responsible for showing that template.

the query should return the records in the database that have the parent id number same as the id number of the parent categories.

save the count results in an array and pass it to the template via smarty,

edit the template file and next to every category add the parentesis (), and inside the smarty variable that holds the subcategories count results for each category.

Thats only a rough idea on how you can do it! Hope it helps you a bit..

ouch :P

i think that's the code which shows how many articles are in each category

<{if $displayarticlescount}>
<{$subcat.total}>
<{/if}>
I tried to add this to Categories Menu block but id did not show anything

thats the code in the html template, behind that html file hides a php file that prepares all those variables connects to the db etc. in there you have to see if there is a variable holding the number of the subcategories of each category..and the name of it! otherwise if the variables are not passed through the php file to the template it will show you nothing...
