Hi Carl,
To generate a "top 5" list, I recommend creating a specific
navigation file to represent the list. You could set the root nav-
template to "/news/index.xml" and a child template to "/news/*.xml",
or whatever the appropriate pattern is; then set the root template to
sort children by date descending, and set the maxChildren attribute
to 5. I also have a velocity template that will render such a
navigation file to RSS if you're interested.
Cheers,
Alex
