hi in this one below it outputs all records, i only want it to do 5.. how would i modify this to do so:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<table class="outer" cellspacing="1">

<{if $block.full_view == true}>
<tr>
<th><{$block.lang_forum}></th>
<th><{$block.lang_topic}></th>
<th align="center"><{$block.lang_replies}></th>
<th align="center"><{$block.lang_views}></th>
<th align="right"><{$block.lang_lastpost}></th>
</tr>

<{foreach item=topic from=$block.topics}>
<tr class="<{cycle values="even,odd"}>">
<td><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=<{$topic.forum_id}>"><{$topic.forum_name}></a></td>
<td><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=<{$topic.id}>&forum=<{$topic.forum_id}>"><{$topic.title}></a></td>
<td align="center"><{$topic.replies}></td>
<td align="center"><{$topic.views}></td>
<td align="right"><{$topic.time}></td>
</tr>
<{/foreach}>

<{else}>

<tr>
<td class="head"><{$block.lang_topic}></td>
<td class="head" align="center"><{$block.lang_replies}></td>
<td class="head" align="right"><{$block.lang_lastpost}></td>
</tr>

<{foreach item=topic from=$block.topics}>
<tr class="<{cycle values="even,odd"}>">
<td><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=<{$topic.id}>&forum=<{$topic.forum_id}>"><{$topic.title}></a></td>
<td align="center"><{$topic.replies}></td>
<td align="right"><{$topic.time}></td>
</tr>
<{/foreach}>

<{/if}>

</table>

<div style="text-align:right; padding: 5px;">
<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/newbb/"><{$block.lang_visitforums}></a>
</div>

either limit the assigned array to 5 rows in your PHP code (if you are using a db, try limiting rows in the select). Otherwise, switch from a {foreach} to {section} which allows you to control thr # of iterations perfromed.
