CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I'm trying to make a "more articles" type of box for my content pages. I'm using a modded menu template to do this, so the call to the menu manager is as follows:

{menu template='minimalmenu' start_element="2.1" show_root_siblings="1"}

It will only show sibling articles, which is what I want.

The problem is, it is listing all articles. I want it to just show, say, the top 5 articles then a "View All" link. I'm trying to mod the minimalmenu template to do this, but I'm new to smarty and am having trouble.

Essentially, I want the foreach loop to only loop 4 times then quit. How can this be done?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
Jazz

Thanks!

Ok next problem I'm having.

At the end of the iterations, I'm tyring to display a "View All" link which links to the parent page of the pages I'm displaying in the menu.

So, I'm calling the menu template as follows:
{menu template='minimalmenu' start_element="2.1" show_root_siblings="1"}

In this minimalmenu template, I want to put in a hyperlink that links back up to what would essentially be start_element="2".

Is that possible?

Thanks.

This is as variable (get_parent_alias) in CGSimpleSmarty module

Great, thanks. It turns out the function I needed was get_root_alias.
