Drupal enables science teams to collaborate, communicate and manage metadata. Science on Drupal is where scientists, communicators and data managers can come to find out more about Drupal, and developers can help them out. We meet to share knowledge, provide support and collaborate on identifying and architecting shared solutions to common problems for Science on Drupal. Join us to discuss how Drupal and science can work together!
Meetups
- Telecon on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 3-4pm ET on GoToMeeting to learn about Drupal's capabilities, explore new technologies and share case studies
- Office Hours on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 2-4pm ET on Slack for chat, planning and code sprints to solve problems and add features for the science community

We'll be holding our bi-annual code sprint at the Science on Drupal Summer Lab in mid-July - look out for more details on the event itself in the next few days.
In the meantime, we're crowd-sourcing suggestions for the most cutting-edge new features or most pressing problems faced by those in the community using Drupal for science - whether it's for organizing research, data curation or public communication.
As either a user or developer of Drupal:
- Is there a science-specific task that's hard or impossible to accomplish in Drupal?
How to fetch Views total number of records in page.tpl.php before views.tpl called.
See this image http://prntscr.com/7idx70 for more understanding.
I want to fetch Views total number of records in page.tpl.php before views.tpl called. Is it possible to fetch that row total before views rendered? I am also using contextual filter for this view. Views have page type display.
I have also used module https://www.drupal.org/project/views_record_count. but this will print total number of records on Views header or footer. (Not outside of views)
