How does limit parameter works with MSM?

I have 1 main and 6 other websites (subdomains). I have latest entries box on main website (domain.com) and would like to display latest added entry from each of 6 websites.

But seems like when I use limit=“6” in channel that limit 6 entries per website so there are 36 entries in a queue. But when I use limit=“1”, only single entry is displayed instead of 6.

So how to display latest entry from each of 6 websites in a single entry list?

Hi Vibrant Drive,

limit= works the same way always; it limits the number of entries being pulled, in combination with the other parameters.  It is not per-site, but total entries pulled in that tag.

If you need the latest entry from each site, it would be a separate channel entries tag per site.

Make sense?

OK so basically, I need 6 {exp:channel:entries} tags to pull latest entry from 6 different websites? That sounds scary 😊

Hi, VD -

Yes. You’ll want to use caching and the  disable parameter.  If you’re good with queries, you could possibly use the query module to make such a thing more optimized, using something like SELECT DISTINCT or some such.  But queries are not my forté; I’m happy to move this down to Community Help if you’d like to explore that option further?

Hi Lisa,

Yes, you can move this topic to Community Help.
