I am not even sure that I can do this, but….

I would like to display 9 entries on the index page.  First i’d like to display one entry.  Then under that add in a “sidebar” of sorts.  The under that the REST of the entries, 8 in total starting with #2.

Is that possible?  If it is, can you tell me how to do it? I tired searching but wasn’t even sure how to look it up.

Thanks

You could do this in two ways

1) Using a count conditional to show only the full entry for the first entry then only titles for the rest.  Or some variation.
2) Using two weblog entries tag, the second with the offset parameter.

Well I tried using the second one….and I got the 1st entry twice, and no others

I used the following coding

{exp:weblog:entries status="open" weblog="weblog1" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="1"}

{exp:weblog:entries status="open" weblog="weblog1" offset="1" limit="8" orderby="date" sort="desc"}

As you can see, http://www.incogblogo.net/index.php/blogathon07/index , it’s not working. :(

thanks for your help

That’s odd, it worked for me

<h2>initial entry</h2>
<p>{exp:weblog:entries status="open" weblog="dem" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="1"}<br />
{title}</p>

<p>{/exp:weblog:entries}</p><h2>offset</h2>
<p>{exp:weblog:entries status="open" weblog="dem" offset="1" limit="8" orderby="date" sort="desc"} </p>

<p>{title}</p>

<p>{/exp:weblog:entries}

ahh. I got it workin 😉

I was missing some code

{/exp:weblog:entries}

Thank you 😊
