List 8 articles, but 100 employees..

Are you aware that your fetch statement contains a limit of 8 items to be returned? Remove this line if you are not bothered about the number coming back.

I think you'll have to use two different fetches to achive this.

First you fetch and display your eight articles, then you fetch and display your 100 employees. Each fetch with its own limit...

My solution at this time is to do a section check for the particular node id for the page where I list my employees in the beginning of folder.tpl. Don't know if this is sexy coding, but at least it works.

FOLDER.TPL:
-------------------------

{section name=employee show=eq($node.node_id,204)}
<h1>Our employees - alphabetically</h1>
{section name=Article loop=fetch(content, list, hash(
parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
limit, 9999,
offset, $view_parameters.offset,
sort_by, $node.sort_array,
class_filter_type, exclude,
class_filter_array, array( 1, 10 ) ) )}
{node_view_gui view=line content_node=$employee:Article:item}
{/section}

{section-else}

{* Get the articles (ClassID: "2"! Might be different for you!) *}
{let articles=fetch('content','list',hash(parent_node_id,$node.node_id,class_filter_type,"include",class_filter_array,array(2)))}

{* Get a count of the articles (ClassID: "2"! Might be different for you!) in this folder. *}
{let articles_count=fetch('content','list_count',hash(parent_node_id,$node.node_id,class_filter_type,"include",class_filter_array,array(2)))}

{* Now decide what to do *}
{switch name=decision match=$articles_count}

{* If only one article in folder: display this in full article view *}
{case match=1}
{* Show this if there is only one article! E.g. include the "full article view" page. *}
{section name=Article loop=$articles}
{node_view_gui view=full content_node=$decision:Article:item}
{/section}
{/case}

{* If two or more articles: display this according to "line_article.tpl"-view *}
{case}
{section name=Article loop=fetch(content, list, hash(
parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
limit, 8,
offset, $view_parameters.offset,
sort_by, $node.sort_array,
class_filter_type, exclude,
class_filter_array, array( 1, 10 ) ) )}
{node_view_gui view=line content_node=$decision:Article:item}

{/section}
{/case}
{/switch}

{/section}

Probably because you don't have a 'show' statement as part of your initial section. Also you complete the first section call with a {/section}. You need to put your {section-else} before the final {/section}.
