Chet Bannerjee asks:
I am trying to list the five most recently created blogs using the MT Templates language. For some reason, it lists ALL blogs on the system. How do I get around this, and only list the latest five?
My current template reads:
<h2 class="asset-name entry-title">Recently Created Blogs</h2>
<mt:Blogs blog_ids="all" sort_by="created_on" sort_order="descend" limit="5">
<h3><a href="<$mt:BlogURL$>rss.xml"><img align="bottom" src="../mt/rss-icon.jpg" </a>
<a href="<$mt:BlogURL$>"><b><$mt:BlogName$></b></a></h3>
Description: <mt:BlogDescription /><br>
Posts: <mt:BlogEntryCount /><br>
Authors: <mt:Authors>| <mt:AuthorDisplayName /> </mt:Authors><p>
</mt:Blogs>
Sorry, the tag doesn't support a limit argument, but it should. Please create a feature request for it:
There is a solution! Use the if tag to determine if the value of the counter meta loop variable is less than or equal to 5.
Here's a simplified version of your code:
<mt:Blogs blog_ids="all"> <mt:if name="__counter__" le="6"> <a href="<$mt:BlogURL$>"><$mt:BlogName$></a> </mt:if> </mt:Blogs>Learn more about:
