Hey Guys

The only way I have found so far to limit the number of entries returned by the smarty foreach command is to set a counter and use an if statement.

Is there any other way?

Thanks

Jamroom uses Smarty templates, so all the documentation here:

http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/

is applicable. Specifically:

http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.function.foreach.tpl

you would use the "iteration" along with a break.

Hope this helps!

more info would help out. What are you iterating over? If its the items returned by a {jrCore_list} call then you can set how many you want in the initial call.

eg:
{jrCore_list module="jrAudio" limit="5" template="custom_template.tpl"}

then in
/skins/your-skin/custom_template.tpl
{if isset($_items) && is_array($_items)}
 {foreach $_items as $key => $item}
   //do stuff here.  There will be a max of 5 items
 {/foreach}
{/if}

Like that.
