Hi
I am creating a Realty site using the Basic Realty Add On.
I have created a 3 column table to display the images 3
accross and this works well. However I want to limit the
number of images displayed here to 12 images max. This
would give me a 3 x 4 table and if there were more than 12
images the ones after 12 would be left off. Hope you can
help.

LIMITING THE NUMBER OF IMAGES ON A PAGE AND SHOWING CODE IF EXCEEDED
I wanted to show only a certain number of thumbnails on a page (20) and display a link to a second page if that number was exceeded. The limit part was easy. In the get records code at the top of the page I entered
To display a message if the number was exceeded, (in this case a link to a second viewer) I used the following: ( I was already using a counter on this page so I called this counter count2)

Hey,
You can break the image loop when you've reached the image limit you want. Something like this, at the top of your image loop:
Hope that helps,

Hi Robin
Sorry for the late reply - I have only just got back to this.
Your code was just what I needed to get this sorted. The only thing I changed was substituting
<?php foreach ($realtyRecord['uploads'] as $upload): ?>
for
<?php foreach ($listing['uploads'] as $upload): ?>
and everything worked as I wanted - fantastic! I can now limit the number of images displayed by changing the number in
<?php if($counter > 20): ?>
Great support!
Thanks to you and Jerry for your input and help.
