Add Comment Count

What's the best way to add comment count for each photo on photo homepage?  Right now I'm in browse_unit.html and BxBaseSearchResultSharedMedia.php.  I'm a bit confused. :S Maybe i'm doing the long way.  Do you guys know the best way to add comment count like this?

I guess It's good suggestion for you :)

//get instance of photos module
$oPhotos = BxDolModule::getInstance('BxPhotosModule');

$oCmtsView = new BxTemplCmtsView($oPhotos -> _oConfig -> getMainPrefix(), $iPhotoId);

$iCommentsCount = $oCmtsView -> _oQuery -> getObjectCommentsCount($iPhotoId);

Where would we add this, browse_unit.html ?

It's different question. Will be easy if your hire some of expertz here to do this

your kidding, right?

Ok I will try explain all step by step :

1. Open the modules\boonex\photos\templates\base\browse_unit.html

add this key {comments_count} in any place

2. Open the modules\boonex\photos\classes\BxPhotosSearch.php

find this code line : $this->aCurrent['ownFields'] = array('ID', 'Title', 'Uri', 'Date', 'Size', 'Views', 'Rate', 'RateCount', 'Hash');

and replace with : $this->aCurrent['ownFields'] = array('ID', 'Title', 'Uri', 'Date', 'Size', 'Views', 'Rate', 'RateCount', 'Hash', 'CommentsCount');

3. Open the - templates\base\scripts\BxBaseSearchResultSharedMedia.php

find this code line : $aUnit['view'] = $aData['view'];

and past it after that:

$aUnit['comments_count'] = isset($aData['CommentsCount']) ? $aData['CommentsCount'] : '';

Many thanks, Sasha,
