How to make the 1st article different from the 2d and the 3d?
Hi all,
I need to have on the main page 3 latest articles so as the latest article has one style and 2 more old articles have different styles(like here). Is there a way to do this automatically?
Thanks in advance

you should be able to do this with css …

use the :first-child css class for the style of the first article…
i have no idea if this works for internet explorer, though …

No no no,
I mean is where a way to a) get the 1st article; b) to get ‘from 2 to 4’ last articles through some template tags?

Thanks for suggestion but I think it is not my case… What I need is structure like this:
‹div id=“latest”›
‹div class=“entry”›
… (body of article 1)…
‹/div›
‹/div›
‹div id=“under_latest”›
‹div class=“entry”›
… (body of article 2)…
‹/div>
‹div class=“entry”›
… (body of article 3)…
‹/div›
‹/div›
Is there a way to make this?

I think you can do it with the chh_article_custom plugin.
For the latest article use <code><txp:chh_article_custom limit=“1” /></code>.
For the second: <code><txp:chh_article_custom limit=“1” offset=“1” /></code>.
And the third: <code><txp:chh_article_custom limit=“1” offset=“2” /></code>.

Re: How to make the 1st article different from the 2d and the 3d?
You can do it without a plugin, using the built-in function, article_custom.
<txp:article_custom limit="0,1" />
<txp:article_custom limit="1,1" />
<txp:article_custom limit="2,1" />
All you need to do is create/modify the form(s) you want these three to use.

Mary, could you please explain these tags with two limit values? I didn’t see them documented anywhere.

I’m trying to do this (TxP 4.01), but it’s not working at all. My code is as follows:
<code><div id=“first”><txp:article_custom limit=“0,1” form=“entry_excerpt” section=“journal” /></div><txp:article_custom limit=“1,1” form=“entry_excerpt” section=“journal” />
<txp:article_custom limit=“2,1” form=“entry_excerpt” section=“journal” /></code>
But I get a blank page. Changing to <code><txp:article_custom limit=“1” /></code> works fine, so the function is returning something. Does v4 still work with the offset format for the limit attribute?
Edit: Never mind, found the answer. For anyone else’s future reference, use limit=“1” offset=“x”, where x is the number of articles to skip.
