Awesome ty so much I ended up making the call to Categories.getCategoryTopics() but I may switch back to the method you posted above

You might be able to use config.bootswatchSkin

Wow just found this myself if anyone else is looking to do this. This data is stored on the Category object. Just replace the category # with your category: db.objects.find( { _key : "category:#"} ) .pretty(); Next you can use the update() method to change the values to match. db.objects.update( { _key : "category:#" }, { $set : { "topic_count" : numberofTopics } } );
