Hi,

I have used the code below hundreds of times in Silverstripe. Just trying to pass in a limit to a function to decide how many items to chow in the template:

public function News($limit=0) {
     if($limit!=0)
           return DataObject::get("NewsPage", "", 'Date DESC', "", $limit); 
     else
           return DataObject::get("NewsPage", "", 'Date DESC', "", ""); 
     }

Since I've been working in 2.4.1, I get the following error:

[Notice] Object of class SS_HTTPRequest could not be converted to int

On this line:

if($limit!=0)

WHY? What is wrong with this code?

Thanks,
Garrett

You're calling the method by using a URL. Something like http://your-site.com/page-name/News, which means a SS_HTTPRequest is passed as the argument. You could use something like

if(is_numeric($limit) && $limit != 0)

which should handle this better.

Genius.

I never really "got" the URL "action" thing until now. I was clearly hoodwinked by having a page and a function with the same name. So I guess the function takes precedence....
