hard limit results

[dhighet]

As noted in #28 pagination seems to be a complicated solution, but is there a way to just hard cap the amount to display? Say I'm just wanting to display the last 10 items added?

Unfortunately, limiting the number of output results is not possible at the moment.

I agree that this would be a nice to have.

(Implementation note for anyone that wants to pick this up: adding a limtation like this has to be done at the level of the strata_relations_iterator and strata_resource_iterator, found in helper/triples.php. Care must be taken if the limitation is pushed to the SQL level: the resource iterator has special handling for loading all of a resource, and will not function correctly if the output rows are limited since the limit will not take into account the intuitive meaning of limiting a resource query — that is, it won't take into account limiting by resource.)

Understandable. I've managed a solution that works for me, for now at least.

I'm currently creating entries via Bureaucracy, so with that I'm appending dates to the entries (as @DATE(<datetime>,%%Y-%%m-%%d)@). On my main page, I'm filtering only results to show by month using Date to get the current year/month, with the following lines in my <table>.

?p Created [date]: ?date
?date > {{date> %Y-%m}}

I was surprised it worked!

I found #39 because I wanted to display e.g. the 5 most recent events from an event table on the front page of my wiki.

Thank you @bwanders for the guidance above. I don't know if I will have time in the near future to attempt to implement this, but I hope to do it at some point.
