News count limit

Go to your news.php there you should go and edit line 22


Go to line 118 and remove ".makePageNav($rowstart,$items_per_page,$rows,3)."
INCLUDING the quotes (that's what just worked on my testing machine)

I changed it to 19 items and deleted the line you told me. It seemed to take it just fine. Since I only have 13 items posted so far, are you sure that anything past 19 will be added to an archive file that visitors can read?

Thanks again for your help.

you should not delete line 118; if ($rows > $items_per_page) echo "<div align='center' style='margin-top:5px;'>\n".makePageNav($rowstart,$items_per_page,$rows,3)."\n</div>\n";

If you added 19 and showing you 13, its because of the PageNav
so I recommend you to restore line 118

It seems to work just fine! On my local machine I made 20 bogus news items, let news.php only show 7. when going to my news_cats.php ALL news items are accesible. Only thing changed is that I don't have a PageNav anymore (like he wanted) -- only remove the makePageNav part of course and not the ENTIRE line 118 ;) (and I guess that won't even mind)

And I guess you misread his post. He changed $items_per_page to 19, but it doesn't have any effect cos he doesn't even have 19 news items but 13.... if he posted 7 more, his total we be 20 posts of which 19 would be shown and the last one would only be accesible through news_cats.php?cat_id=???

Just to clarify what happened, I did change it to 19 and it only displays 19 news items at a time. So that works just fine. As for line 118, I actually found that line [".makePageNav($rowstart,$items_per_page,$rows,3)."] on line 114. But I did delete it and everything seems to be running smoothly.

However I am having a different problem: where are all of the other news items (beyond the 19 that are displayed)? I was hoping there was an archiving system that would archive the other news items but still make them available for readers to go back to.

Is that possible?

yoursite.com/news_cats.php That's where ALL items can be retreived...

Got it, thanks for the help. :)
