Add member count to the category menu found in wrapper.html
Installation
1) Upload via admin plugin manager
2) In case you removed the template tag from default skin ( or your own ), the template tag in question is {$category_menu} and should be in wrapper.html
Html
This plugin contains 2 html files so you can adjust the html to match your skin.
If you wish to edit them copy them into the plugins child folder so they stay safe
Word of advise
Speed is key these days. The more members and categories you have, the slower the query will become, naturally.
For sites with members in the thousands, this isn't the best solution. So a future version will work differently to include counts directly into the category table, meaning, we update counts as members turn inactive/active.
This way we wont have to execute any database query at all, since we already have all the category data.
For this to work the core needs a change tho, so this has to wait until we release a core version fit for this type of update.
