BW Category Count is an ExpressionEngine 2.x add-on that adds a {category_count} variable to the {exp:channel:entries} loop. Which show the number of categories assigned to the current entry.
Installation
Put the ext.bw_category_count.php file in ‘/system/expressionengine/third_party/bw_category_count/’, enable the extension in the CP and you’re all set.
Usage
{exp:channel:entries channel='blog'}
{if category_count == 0}
No categories assigned to this post.
{if:else}
{categories backspace='1'}
<a href="{path='blog'}">{category_name}</a>,
{/categories}
{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}
Parameters
show_group [optional] : The show_group parameter allows you to only count a category if it is in a specific category group, much like how the show_group parameter on the categories-loop works.
{category_count show_group='1'}
{category_count show_group='1|3|4'}
{category_count show_group='not 2'}
{category_count show_group='not 2|3'}

How is this not part of the core functionality of Expression Engine??? This is great little extension, I use it ALL the time - works great

Worked brilliantly for a situation where I needed to check for the existence of a category before running through EE’s native {categories} variable pair.
