I have my template set up to repeat a block of html between the |RSSITEMS:| tag, but my question is how to limit the number of times that block gets repeated.
Thank you in advance.
The best solution that I've found is to use MailChimps |FEEDITEMS| merge tag as it offers more granular control than the |RSSITEMS| tag. Here's a snippet for creating a repeatable block that only pulls the 5 most recent items in an automated-RSS campaign (notice the "$count=" declaration):
*|FEEDBLOCK:http://website.com/feed/|*
<table width="600" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
*|FEEDITEMS:[$count=5]|*
<tr>
<td valign="middle" align="center"><a href="*|FEEDITEM:URL|*" target="_blank">*|FEEDITEM:TITLE|*</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="middle" align="center">*|FEEDITEM:DATE|*</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="middle" align="center">*|FEEDITEM:CONTENT_FULL|*</td>
</tr>
*|END:FEEDITEMS|*
</table>
*|END:FEEDBLOCK|*
