[sagreenstone] Collection Display / Total Size

[Howard Hogo]

Hi Katherine

Many thanks for your help. However from this side I'm only able to see the
collection size (bytes) not the number of documents in that collection.

Hope to hear from you.

Regards,

Hi Howard

Regarding 2, you can look at the collection's build.cfg file 
(collect/collname/index/build.cfg) to see number of documents and number 
of bytes indexed. If you want to display this in the collection, eg in 
the collection description on the about page, add _about:numdocs_ or 
_about:numbytes_ to the collectionextra collectionmeta statement.

The numbytes value is not a very accurate number - it reflects the 
number of bytes in the text field of the documents. It doesn't reflect 
the number of bytes actually indexed, which may include metadata. So I 
don't think it is currently very useful.
