Is there a way to add a dynamic "count’ of the items in various databases? I would like to show on the homepage [x,xxx] (database 1) items in x,xxx categories (database 2). Is this doable? Here is my public share link: LINK ( how to access public share link )

No trivial method exists natively. You could look at exporting your collection data, then calculate a count and store it. Using AJAX you could remotely retrieve the count and display it.

Hey @mrimpossible , A simple search in the forum finds this: [image] Dynamic item that counts the number of posts in a collection Custom code Can someone help me with this? I contacted Webflow support and here’s what they suggested: "At the moment, we do not have a built-…

That was 2 years ago - I was curious if there was an updated or native solution available.

Just a quick comment to say “thank you” for this utils library, Mike. I’ve just managed to build a feature that selects a random Webflow Item to display based on “N” number of Items in the Collection. Your Collection Item Count function feeds in the dynamic value of Items to the random Item picker w…

Sounds fantastic. Just a note in case it’s useful- depending on what you’re doing and where on your site you’re needing it, there is sort of a way to do that using a Collection List element. Drop in a collection list element, and bind it to your collection Filter it as desired, to the types of ite…
