Hi all.
I have a couple of q. and I think this is the right place for them - pls. correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m working on a multiple-entry / single-entry template, and it’s working fine, with the exception of a few barriers. In any case, I am not going to use any add-on, just the EE2 itself. 😛

1. How can I have a pre-selected item when user hits the page first time?
2. The selected item disappears from the multiple-entries list. How can I undo this behavior?

Thank you in advance, guys.

One thing I thought I should point out:
The thing about having a pre-selected entry is that it should not be “hard-wired”. By that I mean that I want the first entry to be selected, but which entry is first is going to be determined and changed by the site’s owner, occasionally.

Hi again,
Just an update: I was able to over-come #1, by having a special page for redirecting.

{{exp:channel:entries channel="{_channel}" orderby="projectNumber" sort="asc" limit="1"}
    {redirect='{_templateGroup}/{_singleEntry_template}/{url_title}'}
{/exp:channel:entries}

However, I’m not very pleased with it. It poses a burden on speed and on my sense of aesthetic. Does any one know if there is something like a “if no-selection” condition or what-ever, that I can use?
