Number of Items - Error?

[timzcardz]

Right now from

http://www.grandslambids.com/index.php

using the "Categories" pulldown it shows "Memorabilia (11)"

Clicking on ""Memorabilia (11)"" brings you here:

http://www.grandslambids.com/categor...parent_id=1866

Where on the left it lists:

Subcategories
» Autographs (6)
» Equipment
» Other Memorabilia (2)
» Pennants
» Photos (2)
» Pinbacks
» Publications (1)
» Ticket Stubs

Totaling 11

But on the page there are only 10 items shown.

Clicking Subcategory "Publications (1)" yields this page

http://www.grandslambids.com/categor...parent_id=1889

which says "There are no items in this section"

On the left it lists:

Subcategories
» Books
» Other Publications
» Periodicals/Magazines
» Programs (1)

Clicking Subcategory "Programs (1)" yields this page

http://www.grandslambids.com/categor...parent_id=1893

which says "There are no items in this section"



So it appears either soemthing is being miscounted or there is a publication that for some reason deosn't show up in the listings.

Or I broke the site and it's my all fault!
(Likely scenario)

Thanks for the feedback!

A few clarifications:
The math may not always work because a single item could be listed in two different categories.

The counters do periodically get a bit out of whack (e.g. an item ends but the category counter isn't updated) but there is a process run regularly that recounts everything and updates the counters to the correct totals.

we appreciate you reporting issues - we want the site to be the best it can!

Go it.

I thought the totals might not add up due to an item being listed in multiple categories, but was surprised to not find anything when following the publications link.

I see that now it doesn't show a count for publications.


This is quite an endeavor that you guys are undertaking and hopefully will be well received, and successful for users and yourselves.
