Navigation: Max Assets Per Level / Max Assets  (#407)
Issue
I'd like to have WebGUI Navigation controls able to limit the number of items they will return. So, for instance, if I build a Navigation control which looks for the assets in a specific area, I want to be able to limit the number of assets returned so that it will only return (for example) 3, or 4, assets.

you're going to have to give me a for example, of why and where this sort of thing would be useful.

and if there is only to be a certain number of assets per level displayed, how do we determine that? is it the N newest, or the N first in rank, etc?

In my particular case, I'm looking to use it as a way to list the latest news articles stored in a folder. I'd like to have only the last x articles listed, and this seems to be the only way I could devise for limiting the Navigation control to produce the desired output.

 

As to which items to display, my preference would be newest by date.

I'm going to reject this RFE. Not because it's a bad idea, but because it's a bad implementation. Adding this functionality to the navigation asset will only make it slower, and it's already very slow. We've been talking about writing an "Asset Report" asset, which is a combination SQL report (without the SQL) and navigation. I think that would be a better place for your idea.
