Hi Todd, I've never tried to use a limit (yet) but the dtml-in syntax includes an 'end=n' (<dtml-in get_story end=5>) parameter that may do what you want (I'm not sure what it does :). If that doesn't work, check out the Zope Book for details on DTML in. Also, if your "get_story" list is generated from a SQL, it will likely be more efficient to let the SQL call limit the results so that Zope doesn't have to. HTH, Eric.

Also is their a way to limit this to just show the first 5.

Hi Todd, My guess is that you code is doing string comparisons rather than ZopeTime comparisons. It might work if you remove the .strftime() method from the logic portions. Eric.

<dtml-in get_story> <dtml-if expr="ZopeTime(end) > ZopeTime() and ZopeTime(start) <= ZopeTime()"> <dtml-var title> </dtml-if> </dtml-in>
