I have a weblog entries that selects on a status of ‘open’ articles and ‘featured articles.’

I want to suppress the first featured article since that will be displayed in the main part of the page but, I want to display all ‘open’ articles.

any ideas about the best way to do this?

Thanks!

Wouldn’t the Offset Parameter do it?

The offset will offset the first items in my weblog entries. but since I select on 2 statues ‘open’ and ‘feature’, if I use offset, it could offset and article with ‘open’ status, but I only want to offset the first article if it is ‘feature’ and not ‘open’

Could you use conditionals…something along these lines…
{if status == "featured" AND count == “1”} css class for display: none {/if}

YES… I think that will work very nicely. 
Thanks very much!!!  This really helps a lot.

Oh, as I was putting this code in place, I discovered that it’s the first featured article that needs to be supressed, so it could be count 1,2,3 4…  So, now, when I do a test for featured article, the first time I want to skip and set a varaible so that when I loop back, I can know by the this variable, that it’s ok to display the 2nd featured article.

{if status == “featured” AND 'first_featured' == ""}
skip..
set variable ‘first_featured’ = 1
{/if}
