 How to EXCLUDE the last post from include code? |
 |
Hello,
Anybody could help me if there is a solution to Exclude the last post automaticly from include code?
This is because I generally have multiple includes from the same categories in the same page as below, for example:
Include code 1
<?
$number = "1";
$template = "Default";
$category = "1,2,3,4,5,6";
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
?>
Include code 2
<?
$number = "5";
$template = "Headlines";
$category = "1,2,3,4,5,6";
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
?>
I want the first include display the last post only in normal order with Default template and short story...
While, the second include must show just "Headlines" from last (5) number of posts. So I dont want the last post shown repeatedly on one page and col...
How could you solve this?
Thanks in advance

You mean the lasts posts from your entire news database? If so I think you need $sort = array('date', 'ASC'); to sort from Oldest to Newest and then you need to use include codes similar to this:
Include code 1:
 | | <?
$number = "1";
$template = "Default";
$sort = array('date', 'ASC');
$category = "1,2,3,4,5,6";
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
?> |
Include code 2
| | <?
$number = "5";
$skip = "1";
$template = "Headlines";
$sort = array('date', 'ASC');
$category = "1,2,3,4,5,6";
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
?> |
That should show the oldest post with default template, then show 5 headlines excluding the very last one (so no news repeats) because of the $skip variable 
I hope I understood and answered you correctly

Thank you dear Scottdallas,
I do not want the "oldest" post shown in any of my includes. I need both includes show the latest and newest posts from the selected categories. I tried your solution but in my first include code, it displays the oldest post from 4 years ago!
I just want to exclude the latest post from being shown repeatedly in the second include. I mean the second include code must display 5 latest posts except the "newest" one!
again thank you.
any other solution will be appreciated.
[b]UPDATE:[/b]
Solved! I really did not know the very functions of "skip".
It works without any change in the sortings...
Thank you dear scott.

Hey,
Is it possible to have a {big-avatar} along with the normal size {avatar}. So the 1st news item shows this big image, but when it isnt new any more goes back to the normal {avatar} size.
It would be easy-enough in the templates, but what code would I need to change to implement it?
Cheers!

ah yes good i'm glad you figured out what you need!
And robp07, good question although I don't think it is relevant to this thread. Can you post it again in the Help section? You'll probably get a better response.
