What can this extension do?

This is a simple article count extension that you can place anywhere on your template by adding the following piece of code:

<?php wfRunHooks('count'); ?>

I made it so I can put it anywhere on my template outside the editing area or the main content area.

You can put it on your header or whatever.

You can do this in your content like this:

{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} 

But that's if you want it inside your content.

If you want it to show up everywhere, you will need something like this.

Usage

You get a nice message like, "1000 sites hopped and counting...".

You can change the message simply by changing the text.
