Putting this tag into my front page, multiple times for multiple authors… It works great, except, is there a way to limit what it returns to say the last 2 posts?

I am aware of the sf_latest_posts_expanded tag (have not used it), can the author tag be expressed in a similar way?

Thx

not currently, but if you are not afraid of a little bit of php, you can make a slight mod to the tag…

in sf-tags.php, line 373 change

function sf_author_posts($author_id, $showforum=true, $showdate=true)

to

function sf_author_posts($author_id, $showforum=true, $showdate=true, $limit=0)

and then change line 383

    $sql = “SELECT DISTINCT post_id, forum_id, topic_id, post_date, post_index FROM “.SFPOSTS.” WHERE user_id = $author_id ORDER BY post_date DESC”;   

to

Then just add another parameter at the end of the call to the tag with the desired number of posts to be returned…  A value of zero means return all posts for the author id… 

Or you could just replace the

DESC $limit in my above with DESC LIMIT 2 for your example… just depends on how flexible you want to be…

Please note, I havent tested the code I just entered, but it should get you close if not what you want…  If you prefer, you can PM me and I can mod the file and send it to you if you like… 

I will also open a ticket to get the tag modified with this change for the next release as its a pretty good idea..

replied and emailed you a file…  let me know how it works…
