To help my less-than-tech-savvy colleagues who occasionally have to edit templates, I want to be able to set a variable at the top of a template (or somewhere else) defining the number of days that a weblog:entries tag will pull through. That will save them wading through code, I hope. I hoped I could do it with a global variable, but that didn’t seem to work.

So, it would be:

variable = X;

{exp:weblog:entries weblog=“site” display_by=“day” limit=”{x}”}

Sounds like a good use for http://expressionengine.com/legacy_docs/templates/globals/assign_variable.html

Hey Rob,

Thank you for posting your question here on the ExpressionEngine forums.

Can you give Mike’s suggestion a try?

Thank you,
