Here is an example DPL query that works for me:

{{#dpl: category = Servers {{!}} Meetings |resultsheader = %TOTALPAGES% |format = ,,, }}

You must also create an article called Template:! Containing: |

Because we want to count the total we use logical or (|) here. That way we get the superset and not the intersection as we would get with logical and (&).

The format parameter is important because we don't want to see any results, just count them.

Hi - im using the DPL extension to display multiple categories on a page, is there a way to get the count of total articles in 2 or 3 categories?

e.g.

category 1 = 10 articles category 2 = 5 articles

category1 + category2 with logical "and" = 10 category1 + category2 with logical "or" = 15

regards and TIA'
