Offset Recent Articles?

I’m using TXP’s feature of recent articles, I’m looking at the manual but I couldn’t find a feature that states whether offset can be used. For example, <txp:recent articles limit=“10” offset=“1”> So the latest article isn’t displayed in the recent list. Is there a plugin that recitifies this, and what are the chances of it being a built in feature of TXP?

Cheers

Re: Offset Recent Articles?

I’m not sure if offset is covered in that FAQ.

According to the TextBook, the recent_articles tag doesn’t have an attribute offset. The article and article_custom tags do have it, though.

Perhaps you just try it?

That’s what Mary said: Dump “recent_articles”, use “article_custom” instead.

Re: Offset Recent Articles?

Thanks guys though I do find it confusing that the manual doesn’t have the same answers as the FAQ, or does it? So is Recent_articles made redundant then? I’ll try article custom.

Cheers

EDIT: Having trouble with this. Here’s the code that I placed in the page:

<code><ul><txp:article_custom form=“recent” limit=“1,7” category=“book” sortby=“Posted” sortdir=“desc” /></ul></code>

In the form I used this:

<code><div id=“recentlist”><li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li></div></code>

So where have I gone wrong here?, do I need to include the section too? I do have many articles, and they did display using recent articles, I just needed the offset value

EDIT 2: FAQ needs updating, to mention that to get offset to work it’s <code> limit=“x” offset=“x”</code>
