Start and Limit

[Peter Knight]

Hi

I'm unsure why my code below doesn't limit the results to 3 as specified.

I have a Repeater Matrix (pro fields) on my page with 10 items and I want to echo out slides 2,3,4 only 

IE Start from the second slide and limit to the next 3

		$items = $page->matrix_slider('start=1,limit=3');
		foreach($items as $slide) {
        echo "
				<div class='uk-width-1-1 uk-width-1-3@s'>
				<div class='desk-wrap uk-text-left'>
					
					<a href='{$slide->url}'><img src='{$slide->images->first()->size(640,320)->url}'></a>
					<div class='desk-wrap-content'>
					<h4><a href='{$slide->url}'>{$slide->title}</a></h4>
					{$slide->body_mini}<br/>
					<a href='{$slide->url}' class='uk-button uk-button-primary'>Read more</a>
					</div>
				</div>
				</div>

Thanks

Try to use slice()

$matrix = $pages->get(11203)->my_matrix;
$items = $matrix->slice(1, 3);

There is no method call on the repeater matrix field value there - I think you meant to include ->find():

$items = $page->matrix_slider->find('start=1,limit=3');

That should work.

That was it. Thanks ?

That's pretty cool. And new to me too. I'll try that tomorrow and file under 'new stuff'. In the meantime, Robin's observation had me back on track.
