Hey Guys, -

I've been testing out MT to see if it'll be a viable solution for our small business to switch over too. So far I like what I'm seeing, but my main reason for switching over would be the ability for our "articles" (AKA blogs) to be automatically archived to a new page after 10 postings.

I've been lightly skimming through and have seen the ability to archive via monthly, daily, category, and individual, but I have yet to see any command / function that would allow me to assign each page a specific number of blogs. -- Of course this is more than likely my own stupidity huh.gif , but any insight that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated! biggrin.gif

When new entries are posted they are automatically archived. All you'd have to do to have the latest 10 entries on your index page (and the rest only accessable through archives) is put:

CODE
<MTEntries lastn="10">...</MTEntries>


in your template. biggrin.gif

Hey dbunder, -

Thanks for the info! wink.gif I got it to work and it seems to be doing the trick.

What I'm going to try now is to figure out whether it is possible to have my archive page(s) automatically generate new archive pages once they've reached the X amount of blogs as well. If I can get this to work with a (NEXT / PREVIOUS) page button auto-generated as well, then we'll be in business! tongue.gif

Thanks for the help! biggrin.gif
