[Solved] Client decides the number of news teasers

A client wishes to regularly change the number of news items/teasers shown on the home page.
Is there a way to enable them to do this, perhaps with a field where they can type a number?
Something like…
How many news items to you want to display?
[4]

Add a category called "Show on home page" and then adjust your module call to show only items in that category?

Add an additional content block as the first line to your page template
Code: Select all
{content block='newscounter' oneline=true wysiwyg=false label='Number of News' size='3' assign='newscounter'}
After that modify your news module call like
Code: Select all
{if isset($newscounter) && ! empty($newscounter) && is_int($newscounter)}
{News number=$newscounter}
{else}
{News number='3'}
{/if}

You better add a check if the filled in value is a number and not text or something...
