Hi,

I’ve a list of say 10 categories in my category group. I want to show only first 8 categories from them. But don’t want to delete other 2 as I may need them at some other time.

Following is my code:

{exp:channel:categories channel="products"}
  <a href="{path='product/index'}" id="category-{category_id}">{category_name}</a>
{/exp:channel:categories} 

and I want to do something like

{exp:channel:categories channel=“products” limit=“8”}

. But “limit” is not supported in this tag.


Please suggest me any alternate solution.

Thanks in advance!

Okay it seems I have a solution as follows:

{exp:channel:categories channel="products"}
  {if count <=8}
    <a href="{path='product/index'}" id="category-{category_id}">{category_name}</a>
  {/if}        
{/exp:channel:categories} 

Any other solution is appreciated!!
