I have my rss feed working pefectly but I was wondering if I could limit  
it to showing just the 5 most recently updated products.

heres how my rss is coded

xml.instruct!

xml.rss “version” =\> “2.0”, “xmlns:dc” =\> “[http://purl.org/dc/elements/](http://purl.org/dc/elements/)  
1.1/” do  
xml.channel do

xml.title “FlashItem products”  
xml.link url\_for :only\_path =\> false, :controller =\>  
‘products’  
xml.description “Items advertised on the FlashItems website”

```
@products.each do |p|
 xml.item do
  xml.title(p.item_name)
  xml.link(url_for :only_path => false, :controller =>

```

‘products’,:action =\> ‘show’, :id =\> (p.id))  
xml.description(p.description)  
xml.guid(url\_for :only\_path =\> false, :controller =\> ‘products’,  
:action =\> ‘show’, :id =\> (p.id))  
xml.pubDate(p.updated\_at)  
xml.sellername(p.seller\_name)  
xml.selleremail(p.seller\_email)  
end  
end  
end  
end

controller

def rss  
@products = Product.find(:all, :order=\> “item\_name”)  
render :layout =\> false  
end

Not much to do with your rss, just add a :limit =\> 5 to your  
Product.find and order it by updated\_at.
