Re: Selecting number of news items on frontpage

Hey, If you're using Mysql to store the items, you could use the Limit statement to limit the number of items displayed. If you're using the file system it'd probably be a little more difficult, but not impossible. For example, if the news items were stored in a text file with one entry per line, you could just use file() to convert the file to an array and then loop 7 times--grabbing the first 7 elements (or news items) of the array.
