Member registration and number of news on index page
Standard member
Still a newby to this system. Trying to figure out how to limit number of news on the index/main page to a specific number. I was able to locate where it's done in the news component but was unable to locate this limitation for the index. In other words where do I enable pagination for the index page?
Also is there a way to disable user registration whyle keeping the site opened to public?
Thank you

As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.

Thank you very much. Registration was disabled with your help.
Unfortunately the pagination issue for the main page was not addressed by changing a news value number. It only affects the news page but not the front page. Any ideas?
Thank you

Strange thing I have 9 news items displayed on start.htm.
news.htm corresponds to the number of news in the administration setting
At the bottom of start.htm I have
View all - Add news where View All is linked to news.htm

Edit the page, and you'll see the block there (as a button in the WYSIWYG editor). Double click that button.
From there you can tune the settings. By default it displays based on days, but you can also set the days to zero and change the fallback settings which allow specifying exact quantities.
