xen foreach loop

[gldtn]

How do I do a foreach loop up to only 5 items in a template?

This is what I have so far but I need to stop the loop after X amount of items

<div class="ctaSliderThumbs">
  <ul>
    <xen:foreach loop="$sliderEntries" value="$sliderEntry">
      <li class="avatar">
        <a href="{xen:link threads, {xen:string censor, $sliderEntry}}">
          <img src="{xen:helper featuredthreadsliderurl, $sliderEntry}"
            alt="{xen:string censor, $sliderEntry.featured_title}"
            width="50"
            height="50" />
        </a>
      </li>
    </xen:foreach>
  </ul>
</div>

Thanks

<xen:foreach loop="$sliderEntries" value="$sliderEntry" i="{$i}">
<xen:if is="{$i} < 5">
      <li class="avatar">

          <img src="{xen:helper featuredthreadsliderurl, $sliderEntry}"
            alt="{xen:string censor, $sliderEntry.featured_title}"
            width="50"

That code looks familiar

What are you doing exactly?
Some sort of mini slider/carousel/?

It definitely did, it worked thanks for the help.

I knew you would recognize it

Not quite, I actually wanted to change the default slider look with a smaller image and use thumbnails as the bx-pager. I was having a hard time because for some reason, it was pulling more items than I have on the slider. Also I can't seem to get the right link to get the slider to change with the custom pager/thumbs.

Can you shine a light please?
