This is how I accomplished this. In the admin area go to edit templates and select filmstrip-hor.tmpl
it should look like this:
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
Then make it look like this:
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
What I did in the above was add a variable named count at the top of the file and set it to 0 then right before the loop closes I increment the count by one and then check to see if it's equal to 5 (stopping it at 5 will leave 4 in the filmstip. I'm assuming that the other one in that count is the one that's actually displayed) if it's equal to your count then break the loop and finish out the code.
Remember to set the number to stop at one higher than how many you want displayed in the filmstrip.
This may not always work but it is working for me on version 6.21
Hope it helps someone
