How Show Specific Number of Posts In Blogger Label Pages



How To Show The Specific Number of Posts In Blogger Label Pages,ya whenever you click on any lablel page of your blog it shows mostly all of your posts in that single page, sometimes that page length becomes so long that it becomes problem for your visitors or readers.And some want to be shown specific no of posts according to there template designs like i want to show only one post in label pages in my photo blog so that it can work just as next previuos on all pages.So this hack is very useful for some of the fellow bloggers.

Now how to implement this :-

You should have label widget installed in your blog to proceed further.

Now go to Dashboard > Layout > Page Elements > Edit Html Page > Expand Widgets

Now search for below code within the html,


<a expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' expr:href='data:label.url'>
<data:label.name/>
</a>
</b:if>
<span dir='ltr'>(<data:label.count/>)</span>


And replace the above codes with below:-


<a expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' expr:href='data:label.url + &quot;?max-results=2&quot;'>
<data:label.name/>
</a>
</b:if>
<span dir='ltr'>(<data:label.count/>)</span>



The digit 2 in red in above code tell how many posts you want to show in label pages.So change it to any number as how much posts you want to see in your label pages.And if you have many posts in label pages and want to show all then use this hack how to show only post titles in label pages.It will be very helpful for you.

Great article, did exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!

Mia Zoe said...

Anshul - I know this hack will not work with the label cloud widget ( which is what I have on my theme ) - but , I was wondering : Is there a similar hack which can be implemented to work like this with the Archives and the Link List widgets ? Please say yes :( I really need something like this - because when someone clicks on my Archives and my Categories [ which is my Link List ] the posts run on FOREVER ! and I only want 4 posts to be displayed -both on the Archives and in the Categories - please help me Anshul :((
Hope everything is going good with you - are you done with your studies yet - or still knee deep in the books ?

Will await your reply .
Be well Anshul Dudeja !

Anshul said...

@mia zoe yes in clouds it wont work.But if you making links for categories in linklist just add this after that link ?max-results=4 then only 4 posts will open for that category.and for archive i dont know. I never tried and no one asked i will check and tell you.

And ya its my last year to study in deep books :)

Mia Zoe said...

It doesnt work Anshul :(( nothing seems to be working :(( Im gonna shoot my theme :((

Anshul said...

@mia se your category links you have made it like this.
http://www.dezigndiva.com/search/label/Resources?max-results=4?max-results=4

Its wrong just make like this

http://www.dezigndiva.com/search/label/Resources?max-results=4

Then it will work fine.You can even check by opening the link i told to make and browse through and can see it works.

Mia said...

OK Anshul - I had implemented the ?max-results=4 into the source as well, and had forgotten about it - this is why it wasnt working - once I removed it - then it worked just fine ( although- I am still NOT having any luck with the Archives section - I guess thats a tough one , even for you to get around , so Im just gonna stop trying to achieve the impossible at this point and just be happy with things as they are - nobody's perfect ! ) . I thank you once again for saving the day , my blog and me from shooting myself ! :D I want to wish you good luck with your exams ( which I am confident you will ACE ! with eyes closed !!! :D ) - Dont be nervous - just BELIEVE in yourself Anshul Dudeja - YOU CAN DO IT !!!

Let me know how everything turns out - even though I know you will not get anything lower than 9.8 ! ;)

Be well Anshul Dudeja !

Best wishes across the miles : Mia 

Tezuka said...

I'd really like to know if there is a tag or something with which I could count the number of posts on my blogs; e.g. something like data:posts.count or something.
Please tell me if you know :)
Thanks

Anshul said...

Rocky said...

anshul, it seems to be not working in the new blogger design, pls help...

Anshul said...

@rocky it would be working may be you would be wanting to show more and blogger would have restricted auto due to auto pagination.

Rocky said...

Thanks for reply :) How can I do this?
