Query for forum(s) thread count

I would like to display the thread count for one or more forums in my "Articles" page which is a modified "showgroups" page (3.6.x).

Currently the number assigned to "Available Articles:" is hand coded and I'm trying to automate the process. I'm would also like to display the number of threads in each forum next to the respective category.

Does anyone know what query(s) I could use to do this?

Thank you for any help you can offer. :)

Thank you for the prompt reply. How would I implement this for that page I listed?

I tried adding this code to the template without success:
{$vbulletin->forumcache[$forumid == 167][threadcount]}

I have no idea how your template is interacting with your code, however what you want is
$vbulletin->forumcache[167][threadcount]

I used $forumid because I assumed you were using some kind of template_bit to generate the forum links.

When I past that code into the template this is the output: Array[167][threadcount]

Probably need to play around with quotes and braces

30 seconds with google later, I found this...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98009

Code:

Object-Type" Variables ($vbulletin->GPC['somevar']).

Do use single quotes, but wrap such variables into figure brackets. One valid example is {$vbulletin->GPC['somevar']}.

If you attempt using $vbulletin->GPC['somevar'] or $vbulletin->GPC[somevar], you will get an error

However its 3.5, not 3.6, I am not sure the {} are needed. I recommend having a play with braces and quotes. Alternatively, alias the forum in code, and reference the alias.
