Limiting Classifieds to be displayed

how do i set classifieds to be displayed in my mainpage to say one (1) or two (2)?

Hmmm.

Perhaps by using Builders>Page Builder>DRAGClassifieds>up into Homepage

The you can change the number to be listed....

thnx for the concern Irepton, but your suggestion doesnt solve it.

anyone has the solution for this?

You can try this it works for me:
/templates/base/scripts/BxBaseIndex.php

find:
$oClassifieds = new BxDolClassifieds();
$oClassifieds->UseDefaultCF();
if( $iTotalNum ) {
$iResPerPage = (int)getParam("max_blogs_on_home");
$iTotalPages = ceil( $iTotalNum / $iResPerPage );
$page = (int)$_REQUEST['classifieds_page'];

if( $page < 1 or $mode == 'rand' )
$page = 1;
if( $page > $iTotalPages )
$page = $iTotalPages;
$sqlLimitFrom = ( $page - 1 ) * $iResPerPage;

Change/add:
$oClassifieds = new BxDolClassifieds();
$oClassifieds->UseDefaultCF();
if( $iTotalNum ) {
$iResPerPage = (int)getParam("max_blogs_on_home");
$iTotalPages = ceil( $iTotalNum / $iResPerPage );
$page = (int)$_REQUEST['classifieds_page'];

if( $page < 1 or $mode == 'rand' )
$page = 1;
if( $page > $iTotalPages )
$page = $iTotalPages;
$sqlLimitFrom = ( $page - 1 ) * $iResPerPage = 3;


You can do the same for other areas if you can't set them in admin panel on this same page, using the same concept. Some are available in admin panel or database too.

Change the 3 to the number you want displayed.

wow! thnx a lot.....it worked!

Does this just change the number of 'classifieds' displayed or does it alter others as well?

Just the number of classifieds displayed on the homepage index page. Just change the number as mentioned.

Some others can be changed in admin panel. If you can't find one that is changeable in admin panel apply the same concept to the page to change their particular display number too.

This way you can have any combination. If you change blogs in admin panel it will change events, blogs and classifieds. So if you set 6 in admin panel, you get 6 of each on the main page. By setting 6 in admin panel for blogs, you could then edit the code to change events to 2 and classifieds to 2 using this.

Hope that makes sense.

i was successful in editing the number of classifieds to be displayed, but when i tried the same process to limit the number of blogs.....after saving it.... only a blank screen appears when i point my browser to my mainpage.

what should i do? can i just download BxBaseIndex.php and replace the existing one? maybe it was corrupted while I was saving?

will the new BxBaseIndex.php affect the rest of the appearance of my mainpage?

Just undo the changes you made. You should always back up any files/code before you make any changes. Very simple to repair mistakes that way.

Stuart

Ps. what is your site address?

yup stuart..that was very stupid of me...i should've backed up my file. :(

can't undo now.....

can i just replace the existing baseindex?

Hello Marlon,

You can but make sure you set the permissions accordingly. Unfortunately any mods you made up until now will be gone. But if you copy the corrupt file you may be able to redo any (working) mods across.

Stuart

tnx stuart! its working now. really appreciate your assistance
