Is it possible to limit the number of items in a widget?
like will this work:

Code:

<limit>15</limit>

I'm trying to limit the number of items in a widget by having it ignore my <recentlyaddeditems>5000</recentlyaddeditems> setting in my advancedsettings.xml file, as I really want to leave that in the file but don't want 2000 movies showing in my widget so Im trying to find a way to do both.

Would it be the shortcuts/template.xml file I would have to play with or the Includes_Widgets.xml file?
Any hints would be appreciated.

ATTENTION TO ALL

I found the solution to ALL bugs concerning widgets :

- character "&" in the titles of the nfo ---> the widget will display no cast at all
- accented characters in the titles of the nfo (é, è à î, ô, ù, etc....) ------>the widget will display a wrong cast (cast of another movie). Thats why I was the only one to have this (as a reminder I'm french)
- coma in the name of the files (that is to say name of the movie, name of the nfo and name of the local trailer) ---->the widget will display no poster nor CDart (you have to replace the comma by a "-" for instance)


I just gave the list to Mr. V

It can be done in the template.xml file, but ideally you'd do it in the widget provider. If you just want, say 50 recently added items create a new smart playlist whose content is 'Movies', ordered by 'dateadded' and with a limit of '50' and use that as the widget.

If you really want to start manually editing the skin (and bear in mind you'll need to re-do the changes whenever the skin updates) then head into the template.xml file and do a search for <content - every time you find it, add a new attrib within that element limit="x", where x is maximum number of items you want to display. Each one (and there are several) will look something like:-

Code:

<content limit="10" target="$SKINSHORTCUTS[target]" sortby="$SKINSHORTCUTS[sortby]" sortorder="$SKINSHORTCUTS[sort]">$SKINSHORTCUTS[content]</content>

Note that this will limit all widgets to that maximum number.

I know you've previously requested a change to how properties are matched. If you have any more requests, now is the time to get them in

Cheers Bob.

The only request is to match multiple properties. Think that was the previous one. This would half the amount of code in the template.

Code:

<property name="leftartwork" tag="property" attribute="name|widgetStyle" value="Panel" attribute="name|widgetArt" value="Poster" attribute="name|widgetCase" value="Glass">5</property>

It can't be done quite as your example as having multiple attributes with the same name isn't supported by the library I use to parse xml (and may not even be supported by the xml format), but I'll come up with something - my current thought is:

Code:

<property name="leftartwork" propertyValue="5">
    <tag="property" attribute="name|widgetStyle" value="Panel" />
    <tag="property" attribute="name|widgetArt" value="Poster" />
    <tag="property" attribute="name|widgetCase" value="Glass" />
</property>

But however I end up doing it, I'll give you a ping when it gets PR'd.
