How to add a result count in exposed filters?

Question

For theming purposes, I need to display the views results in the exposed form. Right now, through the UI, it's easy to add "Global: Result summary" to the views header, section. But how would one display it within the exposed form?

Answer 1

There's no use trying to use hook_form_alter, as you need to wait until the view is rendered. You can do this in hook_preprocess_views_view__VIEWNAME like this:

function examplemodule_preprocess_views_view__exampleview(&$variables) {
  $result = $variables['header']['result'];
  unset($variables['header']['result']);
  $variables['exposed']['result'] = $result;
}
