Very useful thread! Thanks!

Is there a place where all of these hacks and modifications are kept? sort of like a collection of tutorials?

I got a big problem with that...
Here: www.papercuts.de/mambo/
I build a section called Musik-Kritiken and there are 12 items in it but only 6 are displayed.
I tested the thing with the content.php, but it doesnt work...
Please help me!
thx

I would like to know whee in the URL to add this command? And which URl for that matter. Thank you

Actually the easiest way to do this without hacking core files is simply to add this simply command to the end of a url:

&limit=30

This then tells the page to set its page display to 30 items instead of the default 10.

However, I do agree that this should paramter configurable in the admin backend, globally and on a per section/category basis.

So if you want all ten to have the intro text then you should set this to 10.

The ordering - if you want the newest first you will have to scroll down the drop down menu for Date desc or is it ascending ? one of the two - the default is set to allow the user to specify the order.

Next you must click save at the top of the page.

Hope this is what you where looking for.

very useful thread
how do i get my modules to be listed in the admin by created date also? the list is just too long now as i create new flash (.swf) modules weekly for the front page to grab attention. (i publish in the 'top' position)
and is there a way to get the modules in some sort of folder/categories?

This is my first posting here, but I have gotten so much out of this thread! I am new to Mambo, but have figured out much of it through trial and error.

VisualDensity (and others, but my questions have to do with features on Visual's web site), I have two related questions:

1) I can't figure out how to configure the view of my categories. My content displays in the default table that shows the "Filter" and "Order" options on top, and the "Date" "Item Title" "Author" and "Hits" columns in the table--none of which I want displayed.

2) I notice on Visual's site that the menu link "Visual News" links directly to a category list, not a section - how do I set that up?

Visual, I noticed on your page that you solved both of these issues smartly. I'm hoping you can lend me hand. Thanks!
