Need help with counting articles on comments and categories on homepage

Well going from your getComments you know the $postid. So make a new function in the model like about so:

Code:

function countComments($postid) {
    $this->db->from('comments');
    $this->db->where('post_id', $postid);

    return $this->db->count_all_results();
}

You effectively query the comments from a post and count them. Count is also a rather 'cheap' SQL function.
