Currently trying to use the Number of Records property on Record List component within Community Builder(Napili Template). I've set the property to 5, I would expect that it will limit the number of records that will be shown in the record list component.
But it still keep on showing all of the records within the list. Is this a bug? or am I missing something?
Site.com will be completely separate from the community builder going forward infact from Spring 16 release .Community builder is the future
The community builder now has more flexibility to build pages .Lets take a look at possible options now using Napili to sort of completely replace UI
1)You can create your own lightning template page .It can be either from the object or you can choose from assigned Templates
2)There are options to override the Navigation and header if you want to build your own
3)Since the standard template is all lightning based you can use community builder and replace any standard components with your own
4)There is an option to sparingly use your own CSS overrides for existing standard components
5)Apart from the layout options provided I have mentioned in step 1 ,if you still want to customize further ,you can build your own layouts.You will need to implement an interface known as forceCommunity:layout and add your styles .
Here is a quick sample code to help you with
<aura:component implements="forceCommunity:layout" access="global">
<aura:attribute name="column1" type="Aura.Component[]" required="false"> </aura:attribute>
<aura:attribute name="column2" type="Aura.Component[]" required="false"> </aura:attribute>
<div class="container">
<div class='contentPanel'>
<div class='left'>
{!v.column1}
</div>
<div class='right'>
{!v.column2}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</aura:component>
With all those toolset provide you should be able to completely customize to what you need and sky is limit with community templates going forward .All you need is skills to build lightning components
I just ran into this issue and it seems that the orders object is not supported in the Napili template
This is mentioned in their Spring '16 release guides - https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/200/latest/en-us/sfdc/pdf/community_templates.pdf

The filter is applicable only for the Compact Layout and not Full.If you select Full view the Number of records property is not applicable .
Change the layout to compact to observe changes .
