Variable's reference in tpl files

[arc002]

Hi Team,

I would like to know how can i decrease the post counts(simply want to perform -1 from total count which it is displaying), as it is counting as the description in posts as well. please refer to the attached image.
I have tried by changing
topics: ajaxify.data.topics.map(topicsData => {topicsData.postcount = topicsData.postcount-1; return topicsData;})

• topicList.js(under public/src/modules)
• category.js(under public/src/client)
  but still no success. Is this the correct JS file using for the reference of {topics.postcount} variable in topics_list.tpl ?

@arc002 ajaxify.data is just the data the template was run with. Changing it does nothing to the already rendered page.

What you want is to add a hook for filter:topics.getand modify the data there.
