Multiple posts

Every time I post, the post on the bottom of the page changes, it seems to just choose an article at random. It also appears different than the other posts in that the “posted by…” looks different. If someone could help me with this, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Also, while we’re here, I’m trying to figure out a way to include the title of the article and the date it was posted in a bar that runs across the whole page text part, above each article. I’d like to do this, so that my articles look a bit more separated and clean than they do now.

Thanks guys!

Do you have more than one <txp:article /> tags on your page?

First you’re calling a list of the 15 newest articles with <txp:article limit="15" />, and after that the second newest article with <txp:article offset="1" limit="1" />. So that last article will change every time you add a new one. That it looks different is probably because it is not in the ‘entry-1’ div.

Your second question is better posted in the Presentation forum.

I just deleted

<txp:article offset=“1” limit=“15” />

Will that have negative effects? Everything looks good.

Thanks for the quick and friendly response guys!

That depends on what your intention with that tag was. But if everythings looks allright I suppose you can do without it ;)
