The number of top stories on my site is constant at 8. How do I change this number? Maybe it is a mollio-beat issue.. I am running mollio 1.1 version.

Is there a config item somewhere that sets the number of top stories to display or is there some other way in which the number of top stories are calculated?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

open up config.php and find:

PHP Code:

$page_size              = 8; 


Change 8 to however many stories you want to be on the front page.

Thanks Yankidank for the quick reply. I tried that, but I guess I worded my question wrong. Changing the page_size to say 20 would make all the pages (the front page as well as the top stories page) to display 20 stories.

I guess what I am looking for is to make the top stories page to work the same way as the front page, i.e., if I have the page_size set to 8, the front page starts paging after 8 stories. If I have 20 stories, I have 3 pages.

However, the top stories page does not have any paging. Maybe it is a mollio-beat change.. I was just hoping this maybe some config item that can be changed to make the top stories page also to incorporate paging.

I have been wondering the same thing ... a way to edit the # of stories and behavior of top stories. I'd still like 8 stories on the first page of "top stories", but i'd like it to scroll the next 8 onto another page, with links at the bottom, just like the main index page works.

Is there a way to have it display 8 on a page, but say ... have it show the top 25 stories using pagination?

Konakevin,
Not sure if you are using mollio. If you are, I found that the template used for the topstories page needs to be modified a little bit to provide this ability:
In topstories_center.tpl add the following just before the {/php} tag:

do_pages($rows, $page_size, getmyurl("topstories")); // show the "page" buttons at the bottom

ngrad, that worked PERFECTLY! Thanks a ton.
