Colorized Nodes Tutorial

Important!: if you want to show the categorie stats you need to edit the template node_list_category

Change Line 6 <a href="{{ link('categories', $node) }}">{$node.title}</a>
to:
<a href="{{ link('categories', $node) }}">{$node.title}</a> <dl class="pairs pairs--inline"> <dt>{{ phrase('threads') }}</dt> <dd>{$extras.discussion_count|number_short(1)}</dd> </dl> <dl class="pairs pairs--inline"> <dt>{{ phrase('messages') }}</dt> <dd>{$extras.message_count|number_short(1)}</dd> </dl>
