Is it possible to increase the number of images displayed in “Hot Topics” module from the currently displayed 5 to 8 or 10? If so – how?

Hi mzaf

Yes it’s possible. Go to ‘Module Manager’ and open ‘Hot Topics’ module. Then just change ‘Number of Elements’ here:

I actually tried that before I posted my question, and for some reason it did not work – strange. What then could have prevented it from working?

Hi mzaf

This may sound like a really crazy question … but … you do have more than five articles published in your ‘Hot Topics’ category?

Sorry if that sounds offensive, it was just a thought! 🙂

hi questbg,
No, I don’t have more then 5. By the way, what made u ask it – was my post unclear? I didn’t find your question offensive, and I do appreciate your prompt reply.

hi mzaf

No, your post was very clear, just sometimes, without a live website, it’s very difficult to get to the bottom of a problem! :-[

OK. Say for instance, your demo site looks like this:

And you want to add another Hot Topic underneath ‘Aliquam et dictum’

First thing is go to module manager and make the 5 to ‘6’ here:

Next, you would have to go to the Hot Topics Category and Duplicate an article. For instance, if you selected ‘Aliquam et dictum’ and copied this into the same ‘Hot Topics’ category, this would then give you six articles in Hot Topics, and the duplicated one would come below the original, like this:

I hope we can keep working together until we fix this! 🙂

Best Regards
Chris
