About Matt's News Script Tutorial

Hey Matt (or whoever can help me figure this out)

I was playing around with the view news script and I was wondering if there's a way to limit the number of entries that the script displays? (like through a variable you can set through the query string)

Well, thanks ;)

RE: About Matt's News Script Tutorial

php Code:

Original - php Code
foreach($data as $element) { $element = trim($element); $pieces = explode("\|", $element); echo $pieces[2] . "<BR>" . "<b>Posted by " . $pieces[1] . " on " . $pieces[0] . "</b><BR><BR>"; }

 
foreach($data as $element) {
    $element = trim($element);
    $pieces = explode("|", $element);
    echo $pieces[2] . "<BR>" . "<b>Posted by " . 
    $pieces[1] . " on " . $pieces[0] . "</b><BR><BR>";
}

change that to something like :

php Code:

Original - php Code
$i = 1; foreach($data as $element) { $element = trim($element); $pieces = explode("\|", $element); echo $pieces[2] . "<BR>" . "<b>Posted by " . $pieces[1] . " on " . $pieces[0] . "</b><BR><BR>"; if($i == $numtolist) { break; } $i++; }

 
$i = 1;
foreach($data as $element) {
    $element = trim($element);
    $pieces = explode("|", $element);
    echo $pieces[2] . "<BR>" . "<b>Posted by " . 
    $pieces[1] . " on " . $pieces[0] . "</b><BR><BR>";
    if($i == $numtolist) {
       break;
    }
    $i++;
}

then just pass in $numtolist in the url

Hi Matt,

I think your tutorial about the news script is great!
I have a question: How can i put a link in a newsitem?

BTW: The other question about the $numtolist is not very clear to me yet. Is it possible that you can tell more about it? For example: Let's say there are a few highlights on the homepage, and they link to the whole article?
