Ok, so here’s some pseudo-code for what I’m doing right now:

{exp:weblog:entries limit="10"}
{if condition1 is met}
Display nothing
{elseif}
Show the contents of entry
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Here’s the sticking point:

If only 5 of the 10 entries meet the conditional criteria, only 5 posts will display on the page. Is there a way that I can modify the code so that 10 entries will ALWAYS be displayed, regardless of how many are skipped? Ie: some means of manual incrementation to the limit parameter?

Have you looked into using the search:body parameter for the weblog tag?

{exp:weblog:entries limit="10" search:body="not something|stuff"}
Show the contents of entry
{/exp:weblog:entries}

The search:body parameter searches through all the data in your entries, even standard custom fields, and gives you 10 entries based on your sort/filter. In my example, it would exclude entries containing the specific words ‘something’ and ‘stuff’.

Anyways, take a look at the full documentation here on this variable. There is a lot you can do with it and will probably fit your needs. Hopefully anyways.

Awesome, that’s perfect, liquilife. I had never heard of this parameter before, but I have a feeling it will quickly become a favorite.

Thanks a lot!

You are welcome. It’s come in handy for me as well. Just remember to replace ‘body’ with the short name of the field you want to filter by.
