How to limit the number of products shown with in the new products block?
via cms/pages/design/Layout update XML
<block type="catalog/product_new" name="home.catalog.product.new" template="catalog/product/new.phtml" >
<action method="setColumnCount"><count>5</count></action>
<action method="setLimit"><limit>5</limit></action>
</block>
setLimit does not work, nor does
<action method="setDefaultGridPerPage"><limit>5</limit></action>
or:
<action method="setData"><key>limit</key><value>3</value></action>
or:
<action method="setProductLimit"><count>5</count></action>
or:
<action method="setProductsLimit"><count>5</count></action>
or:
<action method="setProductsCount"><count>5</count></action>
Try
<action method="setProductsCount"><count>5</count></action>
See /app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/New.php
/**
* Set how much product should be displayed at once.
*
* @param $count
* @return Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_New
*/
public function setProductsCount($count)
{
$this->_productsCount = $count;
return $this;
}

Don't try it randomly. You're trying to call an action on a block/product_new
. So go into the class Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_Abstract
and see what function could do the job (double Ctrl+O in eclipse)
Here i see a Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_Abstract::addColumnCountLayoutDepend($pageLayout, $columnCount)
function.
Maybe it can help you. Example:
$this->addColumnCountLayoutDepend('one_column', 5)
