Hi,

This should be a pretty easy fix, I just need one point clarified first.
Do you need to limit the number of service titles per category, or the number of service titles in total? (ie, no more than 8 titles in a category, or no more than 8 titles at all?)

Let me know and we'll get this taken care of.

Thanks.

Hi,

Okay, all we have to do is limit the number that we output. We can change our output code to this:

<?php $maxCount=8; ?>
<?php foreach($Services as $key=>$service): ?>
<?php if(is_array($service)): ?>
<ul>
<li><?php echo $categoryNumToName[$key];?></li>
<ul>
<?php $currentCount=0; ?>
<?php foreach($service as $item): ?>
<?php if($currentCount<$maxCount): ?>
<li><?php echo $item ?></li>
<?php $currentCount++; ?>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>
</ul>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

The variable $maxCount is set to whatever the maximum number of titles we want displayed per category. In this example, it's 8 but you can change that to whatever you want.

Give this a try and let me know how you make out.
