how to show a limitet number of links in a menu?
 

Hi!

I made a menu showing links to static pages, but I don't want to show all of them only the five last. How do I go about it? Here is my code for that module:

******************************
{* $Id: pages_menu.tpl,v 1.5 2005/11/17 06:55:36 max Exp $ *}
{section name=pg loop=$pages_menu}
{if $pages_menu[pg].pageid ne "6" and $pages_menu[pg].pageid ne "10" and $pages_menu[pg].pageid ne "7"}
<div style="padding-bottom: 2px">{* WebsiteCM CDSEO - START *}<A href="{$http_location}/{$cdseo_pages}/{$pages_menu[pg].filename}" class="VertMenuItems" title="{$pages_menu[pg].title}">{* WebsiteCM CDSEO - END *}{$pages_menu[pg].title|truncate:28:"...":true}</a></div>{/if}
{/section}
******************************

You can see the menu "Artikler" at right:

Wiggywag,

This may not be exactly what you are looking for but I use it on my site to hide static / embedded pages that I do not want to appear on the left side nav bar.

I use the static page "POS" column (database 'orderby' field) to set what I want displayed or hidden. Any static page with a POS value less than 5000 is displayed in the navigational menu. Anything with a POS of 5000 or greater is hidden and can only be linked to directly.

This works well if you want to have several products link to a static page containing warranty information while maintaining the look and feel of the store skin but not have extraneous static page links appear in the nav bar.

Hope this helps...
