I just tried using the parameters show_pages=“only” and entry_id=“not 1” and get these errors:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Array to string conversion

Line Number: 1507

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/77/8449677/html/cpll/codeigniter/system/core/Exceptions.php:170)

Fatal error: ob_start() [<a href="http://ref.outcontrol">ref.outcontrol</a>]: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in [path-to-system]/codeigniter/system/core/Exceptions.php on line 166

I removed the “not” operator and it worked fine; it showed only entry #1.

Are these parameters not allowed together or is this a bug?

Hi John-Gordon,

Those parameters can be used together. In your example though, unless every entry on your site besides ID is assigned as a page, you are going to see the error.

Essentially you are telling channel entries to only display pages and that every entry that isn’t “1” is a page. So, I think it is rather confused.

Does that help clarify for you? Can you tell me what it is you are trying to accomplish and I will be happy to help you get there!

Cheers,

That is rather confusing.

I just wanted to display pages in a footer and I wasn’t sure if I wanted entry #1 in the output.  It’s not a big deal.  I went ahead and have it showing; doesn’t matter either way.

A hypothetical: Say I also had categories assigned to these pages, would category=“not 1” work? or are we looking at the same problem?

Hi John-Gordon,

would category=“not 1”

I do believe that would work. As long as the 1 entry you didn’t want to include was the only entry in category 1.

Cheers,
