Sitecore PowerShell Extensions Tip - Count Items

Today I needed a quick report to find out the number of “pages” on our site. I came up with a quick estimate using the Sitecore PowerShell Extensions module.

# List of template ids to exclude from the count.
$templateIds = @(
    "{29FD19B5-6F81-4829-B725-9C4279DA13CE}",
    "{C3C9ED41-B476-49A9-B50C-FF8901665EA0}",
    "{5A905A62-4898-44CE-96BA-EB3432BAAD91}"
)

@(Get-Item -Path master:\content\home) + @(Get-ChildItem -Path master:\content\home -Recurse) |
    Where-Object { $templateIds -notcontains $_.TemplateId } |
    Select-Object -Property Name, TemplateId |
    Measure-Object

I hope this encourages you to spend a little more time in SPE.
