I need the same thing. For instance, when one of the categories is used in my site, it draws all of the news from that certain category, which can be hundreds of posts, which is another thing that's helping to kill my bandwidth.
Is there any type of plug-in/code that we can add to help the categories themselves to add the pagination at the bottom?
Thanks!

You need to specify it in your include code
<?
category 'idgoeshere';
number '20'
include 'cutepathgoeshere'
?>

If I'm understanding you correctly all you need to do is this:
 | | <?php
$number = "20";
$category = "1";
include("admin/show_news.php");
?> |
If you don't put your cnr in /admin on your sites then change that as necessary to match your site.
There are 3 variables like that which are very important... $number, $template, $category.. remember them! lol
p.s. SolidSnake what's up with that sloppy code above? lol I know you know better than that.

You got it all situated then?

This isn't what I mean...
When someone clicks within a category, it brings up all articles within that category. I'm not talking about the actual link to that assigned page. I know this sounds confusing...
My category, for instance, is Half-Blood Prince Movie...
The actual assigned page is here:
http://www.harrypotterspage.com/hbp.php
This is limited to 15 posts, I think, as I did the PHP as shown above.
But when looking at the posts, you see the categories within each post. If someone clicks on the category (shown as half-blood-prince-movie) that I've assigned this as within my categories in CNR, it shows ALL of the articles, which really drains my bandwidth. This is the link to the category:
http://harrypotterspage.com/news.php/category/half-blood-prince-movie
See the difference?
How can I make it so when the actual category is clicked on it will only show 15 articles and give the pagination?
Thanks!

Put $number = "20"; within the include you use in the news.php file (you've probably just put it in the include code on the hbp.php page).
Example of this in action with categories: http://buekorpsene.com/index.php/category/forsiden/draeggens . As you can see from the example the $number variable works even when displaying categories.

Yes, yes, yes! Woohoo! I knew it had to be something like that....

You've just saved me loads of money!  Thanks!

It didn't quite work as I had planed. It shows X number of news alright but theres a pagination at the bottom.. Is it possible to get rid of that without making a new template?

Clear the news pagination section of your template?
What this does however, is show only the latest X articles, being unable to view the older articles..

Yeah thats not exactly what I want... I simply want a to show a top 20 news page... With the same style as my default page. Perhaps making an extra template is the easiest way to go...
