In each online shopping store, user interface is quite crucial. If you can build an easy to use shopping cart with minimal efforts for user to know what he wants and how he can do it, you are in very good shape to attract more and more customers. To achieve this most of the stores provide category wise browse of products and sorting by different criteria like Sort by Price, Sort by Manufacturer, Sort by Newest/Oldest first, etc. This does make sense as it lessens the total efforts of the users to find what they are looking for.

These days, many of the stores provide Facebook like button on their stores so that users can like their products and it will promote the product on social media. It’s very useful as you are getting promotion of the products from your users directly. As there was a demand from one client to give an option of Sort products by their Facebook likes, I decided to create an extension for that.

I have created a script which fetches the total likes of the products and stores in the database and admin can select option in admin panel to give product ability of sorting by Facebook likes. The telly of Facebook likes can be updated on regular interval, either daily or hourly and based upon that sorting will work on front-side. It can give option of Most liked this month, Most liked this week, Most liked in last 2 days, Most liked today, etc.

If you want to get it for your magento store then you can contact me on sudhirtiwari@tricoreitsolutions.com or use contact us page of this website.

Hii Friends/Webmasters,

I have seen few question over web “Can eShop handle Recurring Billing through PayPal?”. Yes ofcourse it can handle here is the solution in face of plugin

As i am big fan of bloging sites, i have read lots of things regarding eshop. I have seen developers/webmasters love the eshop plugin.

Here i again with one new solution for your shopping site that you require Guess… Hmmm… Yeah Its “e-Shop Recurring Payment”.

I have completed the first version of e-Shop Recurring payment.

First of all i would like to describe your what is “Recurring Payment”.

Recurring payments are an option that allows your customers to make Visa card payments to you automatically at regular intervals. They can be used in a variety of situations, from monthly subscriptions and leasing arrangements to paying electricity and telephone bills.

Recurring payments mean that customers do not have to worry about remembering to make their payment each time it is due, while you provide better service, receive your payments regularly and save valuable time.

How it works with e-Shop ?
You just need to download the “e-Shop Recurring Payment” Plugin from the site. Install it using installation wizard of wordpress.. That’s It.

Version Support.
It support latest stable version of e-Shop (3.2)

so if any one is in need for this feature let me know i will do it. You can reach me at sudhirtiwari@tricoreitsolutions.com or fill the contact us form with
subject of “Paypal Pro API Plugin for eShop” and your suggations on message part.

You can see the below screencasts that i will provide you for admin settings and user-end setting.

Its very simple to have a online block on your webpage in CakePHP.
Here I am going to explain you Step By Step Tutorial for this. I have just developed it so want to share with Everyone because i have done research on google from long hours.

Step 1 :Hit The Controller first.
/app/app_controller.php
Create a function in your app_controller. You can create it anywhere in the controller.

function recordActivity()
	{
		if($this->Auth->user('id'))
		{
			$this->Activity->query("DELETE FROM activities  WHERE user_id = '".$this->Auth->user('id')."'");
			$this->data['Activity']['user_ip'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
			$this->data['Activity']['user_id'] = $this->Auth->user('id');
			$this->data['Activity']['user_browser'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
			$this->data['Activity']['user_accessed'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
			$this->Activity->save($this->data);
			unset($this->data['Activity']);
		}
	}

Here you can see that i have used “Activity” model that’s having User’s IP Address , User’s Logged in ID
The browser from which user has requested the webpage and Last Accessed Date>

The below line is used to unset the Activity model because we have declared our function in application controller not
in “Activity” Controller. If we Declare it in “Activity” Controller then it will be auto reset.

unset($this->data['Activity']);

Step 2 : Now call your defined function into same “app_controller” inside public function beforeFilter()

public function beforeFilter() {
		$this->recordActivity();
}

Step 3 : Create a table in your database name as “activities” it will track logs of users and by using this tabel we will display the “Online Users”.

CREATE TABLE `activities` (
  `activity_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `user_browser` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `user_ip` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
  `user_id` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
  `user_accessed` datetime NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`activity_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1856 ;

Step 4 : We are done with tracking logs of users data you can check them into your database.
Now lets suppose you want to show the logged in users on home page of in side block of your website then just find them out from “Activity” and “User” Models..

$online_cond = array(
								'limit' => 10,
								'conditions' => array(' activities.user_accessed  >= DATE_SUB( CURRENT_DATE() , INTERVAL 10 MINUTE) ' ),
								'order' => array(' activities.user_accessed DESC ' ),
								'group' => ' User.id ',
								'joins' => array(
       								array(
           								'table' => 'activities',
           								'alias' => 'activities',
           								'type' => 'LEFT',
           								'conditions'=> array(' activities.user_id  = User.id ')
									)
								)
							);
		$OnlineUser_Array = $this->User->find('all' , $online_cond);
		//print_r($OnlineUser_Array);exit;
		$this->set('OnlineUser_Array', $OnlineUser_Array);

Step 5 : You must delete log of user who is going to logged out from the system. It will delete his logged history.
This Step is necessary for only those who are not looking to keep track of logged user.
The developers who are only looking for “Online User” Functionality can put below code to reduce database weight.

public function logout() {
        $this->Session->setFlash(__('Log out successful.', true), 'default', array('class' => 'success'));
		$this->Activity->query("DELETE FROM activities  WHERE user_id = '".$this->Auth->user('id')."'");
        $this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
    }

You Have done it Check Your page and Enjoy the time you saved …

A tutorial to enable custom error pages with an htaccess file. Note htaccess files only work on a linux server

To create an htaccess file open notepad or any plain text editor and save the file as .htaccess, if using notepad make sure the file type is set to all files or you will create a txt file.

There are five types of error pages that your server has to offer which are:

400 – Bad request

401 – Authorization Required

403 – Forbidden directory

404 – Page not found

500 – Internal Server Error

if you don’t have the right page like say a 404 page then the server issues you the error and informs you it could not find an error document. Making your own custom error page is very easy with htaccess on an htaccess file enter the command ErrorDocument then the error number then a forward slash then the path to the error page which tells the page where to go like this:

ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.php

The final file will look like this:

ErrorDocument 400 /400.html

ErrorDocument 401 /401.html

ErrorDocument 403 /403.html

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

ErrorDocument 500 /500.html

Save the htaccess file in the root of the server then if their is an error the custom error page is served.

Create A Network

In WordPress 3.0, you now have the ability to create a network of sites (Multisite). This Article is instructions for creating a network. It is very similar to creating your own personal version of wordpress.com.

Before You Begin

Admin Requirements

If you want to run a network of blogs you should at least have a basic understanding of UNIX/Linux administration. A basic knowledge of WordPress development, PHP, HTML and CSS is recommended as well.

Setting up and running a multi-site installation is more complex than a single-site install. Reading this page should help you to decide if you really need a multi-site install, and what might be involved with creating one. If the instructions on this page make no sense to you, be sure to test things on a development site first, rather than your live site.

Server Requirements

Since this feature requires extra server setup and more technical ability, please check with your webhost and ask if they support the use of this feature. It is not recommended to try this on shared hosting.

You are given the choice between sub-domains or sub-directories in Step 4: Installing a Network. This means each additional site in your network will be created as a new virtual subdomain or subdirectory.

• Sub-domains — like site1.example.com and site2.example.com
• Sub-directories — like example.com/site1 and example.com/site2

It is also possible later, through use of a plugin such as WordPress MU Domain Mapping, to map individual sites to independent domain names.

Sub-directory sites

It works with the use of the mod_rewrite feature on the server having the ability to read the .htaccess file, which will create the link structure.

If you are using pretty permalinks in your blog already, then subdirectory sites will work as well.

Sub-domain sites

It works using wildcard subdomains. You must have this enabled in Apache, and you must also add a wildcard subdomain to your DNS records. (See Step 2 how to set up.)

Some hosts have already set up the wildcard on the server side, which means all you need to add is the DNS record.

Some shared webhosts may not support this, so you may need to check your webhost before enabling this feature.

WordPress Settings Requirements

• Giving WordPress its own directory will not work in WordPress 3.0 with multisite enabled. It interferes with the member blog lookup.
• You cannot create a network in the following cases:
  • “WordPress address (URL)” is different from “Site address (URL)”.
  • “WordPress address (URL)” uses a port number other than ‘:80′, ‘:443′.
• You cannot choose Sub-domain Install in the following cases:
  • WordPress install is in a directory (not in document root).
  • “WordPress address (URL)” is localhost.
  • “WordPress address (URL)” is IP address such as 127.0.0.1.
• You cannot choose Sub-directory Install in the following cases:
  • If your existing WordPress installation has been set up for more than a month, due to issues with existing permalinks. (This problem will be fixed in a future version. See Switching between subdomains and subfolders for more information.)

(See wp-admin/network.php for more detail)

Step 1: Backup Your WordPress

Your WordPress will be updated when creating a Network. Please backup your database and files.

Step 2: Setting Wildcard Subdomains

(If this is a Sub-directories Install, skip this step.)

Sub-domain sites work with the use of wildcard subdomains. This is a two-step process:

1. Apache must be configured to accept wildcards.
   1. Open up the httpd.conf file or the include file containing the VHOST entry for your web account.
   2. Add this line:

      ServerAlias *.example.com

2. In the DNS records on your server, add a wildcard subdomain that points to the main installation. It should look like:

   A *.example.com

External links:

• Wildcard DNS record (Wikipedia)
• Apache Virtual Host (Apache HTTP Server documentation)

Specific Configurations

Due to the fact that every host is configured differently, the following ‘per site’ directions are not exhaustive. In all cases, if you cannot determine how to set up wildcard subdomains, contact your webhost for directions.

CPanel

Make a sub-domain named “*” (wildcard) at your CPanel (*.example.com). Make sure to point this at the same folder location where your wp-config.php file is located.

Plesk

There are several steps that differ when setting up the server for wildcard subdomains on a server using Plesk Panel compared to a server using cPanel (or no control panel). This article Configuring Wildcard Subdomains for multi site under Plesk Control Panel? details all the steps involved.

DirectAdmin panel

Click “User Panel” -> DNS Management -> add the following three entries using the three columns:

* A xxx.xx.xx.xxx

(Replace “xxx.xx.xx.xxx” with your website IP.) Click “Admin Panel” (If you have no “admin panel” ask your host to do this.) -> Custom Httpd -> yourdomain.com -> In the text input area, just paste and “save” precisely the following:

ServerAlias *.|DOMAIN|

(If you ever need to un-do a custom Httpd: return here, delete text from input area, save.)

• DirectAdmin.com: Apache Wildcard Documentation… DirectAdmin.com forum: WordPress wildcard subdomains.

Step 3: Allow Multisite

To enable the Network menu item, you must first define multisite in the wp-config.php file.

Open up wp-config.php and add this line above where it says /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */:

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

Step 4: Installing a Network

This will enable the Network menu item to appear in the Tools menu. Visit Administration > Tools > Network to see the screen where you will configure certain aspects of our network.

Tools Network SubPanel

Addresses of Sites in your Network

You are given the choice between sub-domains or sub-directories (if none of the above applies). This means each additional site in your network will be created as a new virtual subdomain or subdirectory. you have to pick one or the other, and you cannot change this unless you reconfigure your install. See also Before You Begin.

• Sub-domains — like site1.example.com and site2.example.com
• Sub-directories — like example.com/site1 and example.com/site2

Network Details

There are filled in automatically.

Server Address

The Internet address of your network will be example.com.

Network Title

What would you like to call your network?

Admin E-mail Address

Your email address.

Double-check they are correct and click the Install button.

You may receive a warning about wildcard subdomains. Check Setting Wildcard Subdomains.

Step 5: Enabling the Network

The rest of the steps are ones you must complete in order to finish.

Tools Network Created

0. First, back up your existing wp-config.php and .htaccess files.

1. Create a blogs.dir directory under /wp-content/

This directory is used to stored uploaded media for your additional sites and must be writable by the web server. They should be CHOWNed and CHMODed the same as your wp-content directory.

2. Add the extra lines your WordPress installation generates into your wp-config.php file.

These lines are dynamically generated for you based on your configuration.

Edit the wp-config.php file while you are logged in to your sites admin panel.

Paste the generated lines immediately above /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */.

3. Add the generated mod_rewrite rules to your .htaccess file, replacing other WordPress rules.

(If there isn’t one, then create it.)

These lines are dynamically generated for you based on your configuration.

4. Log in again.

Once the above steps are completed and the new wp-config.php & .htaccess files are saved, your network is enabled and configured. You will have to log in again. click “Log In” to refresh your Adminstration Panel. If you have problems logging back in, please clear your browser’s cache and cookies.

Step 6: Network Admin Settings

In 3.0, you had a new menu for Super Admin, but as of 3.1 you have an entire sub-section for Network Admin. The link can be found on the upper-right of all admin screens, by your name.

Go the Settings panel to configure network options, and the Sites panel to manage your sites.

Things You Need To Know

Here are some additional things you might need to know about advanced administration of the blog network.

User Access

By design, all users who are added to your network will have subscriber access to all sites on your network.

Also, site admins cannot install new themes or plugins. Only the Network Admin (aka Super Admin) has that ability.

Permalinks

While permalinks will continue to work, the main blog (i.e. the first one created) will have an extra entry of blog, making your URLs appear like domain.com/blog/YYYY/MM/POSTNAME.

This is by design, in order to prevent collisions with SubFolder installs. Currently there is no easy way to change it, as doing so prevents WordPress from auto-detecting collisions between your main site and any subsites. This will be addressed, and customizable, in a future version of WordPress.

Also note that the blog prefix is not used for static pages which will be accessible directly under the base address, e.g. domain.com/PAGENAME. If you try to create a static page in the first blog with the name of another existing blog, the page’s permalink will get a suffix (e.g. domain.com/PAGENAME-2). If you create a new blog with the slug of an existing static page, the static page will not be reachable anymore. To prevent this, you can add the names of your static pages to the blacklist so that no blog with this name can be created.

WordPress Plugins

WordPress Plugins now have additional flexibility, depending upon their implementation across the network.

• Site Specific Plugins: WordPress Plugins to be activated or deactivated by an individual blog owner are stored in the plugins directory. You need to enable the Plugins page for individual site administrators from Network > Options.
• Network Plugins: WordPress Plugins stored in the plugins directory can be activated across the network by the super admin.
• Must-Use Plugins: Plugins to be used by all sites on the entire network may also be installed in the mu-plugins directory as single files, or a file to include a subfolder. Any files within a folder will not be read. These files are not activated or deactivated; if they exist, they are used.

Categories and Tags

Global terms are disabled in WordPress 3.0 by default. You can use the Sitewide Tags WordPress Plugin or other similar Plugins to incorporate global tags on the portal/front page of the site or on specific pages or blogs within the network to increase navigation based upon micro-categorized content.

Switching between subdomains and subfolders

If you have had WordPress installed for longer than a month and are attempting to activate the network, you will be told to use Sub-domain sites. This is in order to ensure you don’t have conflicts between pages (i.e. example.com/pagename ) and sites (i.e. example.com/sitename ). If you are confident you will not have this issue, then you can change this after you finish the initial setup.

In your wp-config.php file, you’ll want to change the define call for SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL:

Use SubDomains

define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );

Use SubFolders

define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );

You’ll also have to change your .htaccess to the new setup. Be aware, you may have issues if you attempt this after being on one setup or the other for any length of time, so proceed with caution.

.htaccess and Mod Rewrite

Unlike Single Site WordPress, which can work with “ugly” Permalinks and thus does not need Mod Rewrite, MultiSite requires its use to format URLs for your subsites. This necessitates the use of an .htaccess file, the format of which will be slightly different if you’re using SubFolders or SubDomains. The examples below are the standard .htaccess entries for WordPress SubFolders and SubDomains, when WordPress is installed in the root folder of your website. If you have WordPress in it’s own folder, you will need to change the value for RewriteBase appropriately.

As a reminder, these are EXAMPLES and work in most, but not all, installs.

SubFolder Example

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

SubDomain Example

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

Our goal was to add a few fields to the standard Magento Registration form (Magento 1.4x, using the default template structure), enabling us to capture information such as Occupation, and Education.

Magento provides a simple user account signup page. However, some online stores might want to collect relevant customer information for more targeted and personal interactions with their customers. Some examples of details that could be collected include occupation, education etc…

Adding your custom fields on the signup form is not difficult, but it is not trivial either, since one cannot use the Magento backend for the task. As an example of how it can be done, I will demonstrate the addition of a new custom field to the signup form asking new users to enter their occupation and education.
Okay, Let me follow step by step. Please do not miss any single step otherwise it won’t work…
Step 1 :

Open File :

app\design\frontend\base\default\template\customer\form\register.phtml

1. Find below code

<div>
<label for="email_address"><?php echo $this->__('Email Address') ?> <span
class="required">*</span></label><br/>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email_address" value="<?php echo $this-
>htmlEscape($this->getFormData()->getEmail()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Email
Address') ?>" />
</div>

Replace Code

<div>
<label for="email_address"><?php echo $this->__('Email Address') ?> <span
class="required">*</span></label><br/>

<input type="text" name="email" id="email_address" value="<?php echo $this-
>htmlEscape($this->getFormData()->getEmail()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Email Address')
?>" />

</div>

<div>

<label for="occupation"><?php echo $this->__('Occupation') ?></label><br/>

<input type="text" name="occupation" id="occupation" value="<?php echo
$this->htmlEscape($this->getFormData()->getOccupation()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this-
>__('Occupation') ?>" />

</div>

<div>

<label for="education"><?php echo $this->__('Education') ?></label><br/>

<input type="text" name="education" id="education" value="<?php echo $this-
>htmlEscape($this->getFormData()->getEducation()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Education')
?>" />

</div>

step 2:

Open file :

app\design\frontend\base\default\template\customer\form\edit.phtml

1. Find Below Code

<li>
<div>
<label for="email"><?php echo $this->__('Email Address') ?> <span
class="required">*</span></label><br />
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo $this-
>htmlEscape($this->getCustomer()->getEmail()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Email
Address') ?>" />
</div>
</li>

Replace Code

<li>
<div>
<label for="email"><?php echo $this->__('Email Address') ?> <span
class="required">*</span></label><br />
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo $this-
>htmlEscape($this->getCustomer()->getEmail()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Email
Address') ?>" />
</div>
</li>

<li>
<div>
<label for="occupation"><?php echo $this->__('Occupation') ?> </label><br/>
<input type="text" name="occupation" id="occupation" value="<?php echo
$this->htmlEscape($this->getCustomer()->getOccupation()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this-
>__('Occupation') ?>" />
</div>
</li>

<li>
<div>
<label for="education"><?php echo $this->__('Education') ?> </label><br/>
<input type="text" name="education" id="education" value="<?php echo
$this->htmlEscape($this->getCustomer()->getEducation()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this-
>__('Education') ?>" />
</div>

</li>

Step 3:

Open file :

app\code\core\Mage\Customer\Model\Entity\Setup.php

1. Find below code inside getDefaultEntities() function

Replace Code :

'email' => array(
'type'
=> 'static',
'label'
=> 'Email',
'class'
=> 'validate-email',
'sort_order' => 6,
),
'occupation' => array(
'label'
=> 'Occupation',
'required' => false,
'sort_order' => 7,
),
'education' => array(
'label'
=> 'Education',
'required' => false,
'sort_order' => 8,
),

Note: (if you need field with validation then ‘requirted’ => true)

Hey do not feel tired or boring  you are going right way. You are now only Two steps to get it done.

Step 4 :

Open file :

app\code\core\Mage\Customer\etc\config.xml

1. Find below Code :

<global>
<fieldsets>
<customer_account>

Then In <customer_account>, you will find below line

<email><create>1</create><update>1</update></email>

After that line insert 2 more rows like below :

<occupation><create>1</create><update>1</update></occupation>
<education><create>1</create><update>1</update></education>

Step 5:

(Most important) Please follow below instruction :

1. Open file app\design\frontend\base\default\template\customer\form\register.phtml

2. Add Below code at top of the file,

<?php
$setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
$AttrCode = occupation;
$settings = array (
'position' => 1,
'is_required'=> 0
);
$setup->addAttribute('1', $AttrCode, $settings); ?>

Now Save file Clear Cache from admin panel Refresh create account page

For Example, (http://websitename/ index.php/customer/account/create/)

Once Refreshed, then

Go to the customer_entity_varchar table in DB, your field is there…

Again Open file, app\design\frontend\base\default\template\customer\form\register.phtml

Now Replace Top code,

<?php
$setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
$AttrCode = education;
$settings = array (
'position' => 1,
'is_required'=> 0
);
$setup->addAttribute('1', $AttrCode, $settings); ?>

Or Else put

$AttrCode = education;

Now Save file Clear Cache from admin panel Refresh create account page

For Example, (http://websitename/ index.php/customer/account/create/)

Once Refreshed then,

Again go to file, app\design\frontend\base\default\template\customer\form\register.phtml

And Comment Top Code or remove top code….

$AttrCode = education;

Now create your account and login with your information…

Check my account page and get smile….:)

That’s it…………….

Feel Free to ask if you are having any doubt in this.

With this hack you will be able to add adsense block (or somethings else) in the midde of your post after 2 paragraphs.

As a hard hack my suggestion is make a template backup before apply this tricks.

• Open your “single.php” file (in your template folder)
• Search
  <?php the_content(); ?>

• Replace with:

  <?php
    $content = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content);  //get the post content store in $content
    $save = explode("</p>", $content);  //Separate the content into <p> blocks
    $tcount=0; //this is count for number of <p> blocks
    $adon=0;  //this is a variable so you don't show ads more than once.

  Replace this with Your adsense code!!!

  Replace this with Your adsense code if you want additional adsense blocks for super long blog posts or leave it empty if you don't want one.

I am just recording my work right now. I found this to work really well.

function wt_get_category_count($input = '') {
global $wpdb;
if($input == '')
{
$category = get_the_category();
return $category[0]->category_count;
}
elseif(is_numeric($input))
{
$SQL = "SELECT $wpdb->term_taxonomy.count FROM $wpdb->terms, $wpdb->term_taxonomy WHERE $wpdb->terms.term_id=$wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id AND $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id=$input";
return $wpdb->get_var($SQL);
}
else
{
$SQL = "SELECT $wpdb->term_taxonomy.count FROM $wpdb->terms, $wpdb->term_taxonomy WHERE $wpdb->terms.term_id=$wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id AND $wpdb->terms.slug='$input'";
return $wpdb->get_var($SQL);
}
}

Place above in your function.php file.

And then add below inside the regular php begin and end to any location you want the count to be displayed.
echo wt_get_category_count(categoryid);
