Thank you for your answer.
I apologise for my ignorance here as I am having to work by trial and error a fair bit.
There appears to be a default of eight items being shown in my news view which uses a file pagelayout.tpl for the entire user side of the site, and template line_class_24 and line_class_2 as override templates for particular classes of articles in line view.
I can't find any page_limit=8 in those override templates and wherever else I've found it and changed it has not had the necessary effect.
So I figure 8 is a default setting in ezpublish and I need to add some code to one of my templates to change that to the 15 I want. Which template do I add it to, or am I on the wrong track.
Richard.

I understand that now. My problem is to find which template the fetch command is in that sets the view to eight in the demo.
I have now searched through every template that comes with the demo to no avail.
As I understand it the full_class_x tempates are the individual article views, the line_class_x are the individual line views.
Where is the template in the demo that does that fetch and then loops through and produces the line views - that will be the one I want.
If I need to create an override, then what do I call it and where do I put it?
