How to display a Quick Tab with count?

Question

I'd like to display the # (count) of Blogs on my quick tab menu. Ex: Blogs (3)

I found a way to overwrite the quicktab titles using the following function with an if statement

   function mymodule_quicktabs_alter($quicktabs) { 
if ($quicktabs->machine_name == 'quick_tab_front_page') { 
$quicktabs->tabs = array(
  0 => array(
    'machine_name' => 'quick_tab_blogs',
    'title' => 'BLOGS',
    'weight' => '-100',
    'type' => 'qtabs',
  ),
  1 => array(
    'machine_name' => 'quick_tab_news',
    'title' => 'NEWS',
    'weight' => '-89',
    'type' => 'qtabs',
  ),
);
$quicktabs->renderer = 'quicktabs';
$quicktabs->style = 'Arrows';
$quicktabs->options = array();
}
}

I created a view, using the Views module, which contains all the blog titles written by a user.

Now I need to figure-out a way to display the views' count on the quick tab title

I have tried

function mymodule_quicktabs_alter($quicktabs) { 
    $view = views_get_view('user_blogs');
    $view->set_arguments(array($account->uid));
    $view->execute(); 
    $count = count($view->result);
if ($quicktabs->machine_name == 'quick_tab_front_page') { 
$quicktabs->tabs = array(
  0 => array(
    'machine_name' => 'quick_tab_blogs',
    'title' => t('Blogs @count', array('@count' => $count));

but it gives me an error of Fatal error: Call to a member function execute() on a non-object for the line $view = views_get_view('user_blogs');

I don't get why, I am new to php.

Answer 1

Check your view name that you are passing to views_get_view() and also from where are you getting the $account variable from (credits: wolverine).

And get rid off $view->set_arguments(array($account->uid));, you don't need it (credits: No Sssweat).
