You want to display only, say, 3 News on the hopepage of your PHP-Nuke. But in the administration panel you get only the options to change the "Stories Number in Home" to 5, 10, 15, 20 , 25 and 30.
Go to admin/modules/settings.php and change at line 61[1]:
."</td></tr><tr><td>" .""._STORIESHOME.":</td><td><select name='xstoryhome'>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>$storyhome</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>5</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>10</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>15</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>20</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>25</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>30</option>" ."</select>" |
to
."</td></tr><tr><td>" .""._STORIESHOME.":</td><td><select name='xstoryhome'>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>$storyhome</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>3</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>5</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>10</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>15</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>20</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>25</option>" ."<option name='xstoryhome'>30</option>" ."</select>" |
Now you can select "3" from the drop-down list. You get the idea. See How to set an arbitrary "Stories Number in Home".
