Hi Elizabeth,
There's a sum function that you can include in your receipt templates to
add up the given macro/value for a total.
I don't believe there's a count function, or I haven't seen one for the
receipt templates, at least.
You might be able to do something like one of these approaches:
For the "checkout" receipt template (line item bit is included within
the <li> tags you have):
*Line Item*: <span style="display: none;"
sum="sum1">%copy_number%</span>
*Footer*: <div><center>You currently have <span sumout="sum1"
style="font-weight:bold;"></span> item(s) checked out
from<br/>%LIBRARY%</center></div>
That would depend on each of the "copy_number" fields being "1", and
that field isn't a required entry... so it's probably not the best option.
I'd probably do something like:
*Line Item*: <span style="display: none;" sum="sum1">1</span>
*Footer*: <div><center>You currently have <span sumout="sum1"
style="font-weight:bold;"></span> item(s) checked out
from<br/>%LIBRARY%</center></div>
So a barebones/complete example for line item/footer would be:
*Line Item:*
<li>
<span style="font-weight:bold">%title%</span><br/>
Author: %author%<br/>
Barcode: %barcode%<br/>
Due: %due_date%<br/>
Item Type: %circ_modifier%<br/><br/>
<span style="display: none;" sum="sum1">1</span>
</li>
*Footer:*
<div><center>You currently have <span sumout="sum1"
style="font-weight:bold;"></span> item(s) checked out
from<br/>%LIBRARY%</center></div>
I'm not sure if there's any harm in hardcoding a "1" value for each line
item, but that seems to work. I'll let others chime in.
Good luck!

Hello Everyone,
We had a request from a library that wants to have a total number of
checked out items auto-populated on the bottom of their checkout
receipts for their Summer Reading Club program. I’ve got the template
printing the list numbers, but can’t seem to get it to total the
number of items.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much,
