multiple loop issue – previous posts page is wrong!?

[silvers]

hi!

i have been trying to do something similar to css-tricks in showing my newest post in a different way to the other posts on the page. that seems all good, however when you click on "older posts" it has a problem as it still shows the newest post on each page, and doesn’t work in the same way css-tricks does.

could someone help me on this one please? i would really appreciate it.

this is the site i have the problem on (i know its crap but i am trying!) http://www.mariosuniverse.com/blog

here is my code… (thanks in advanced)

do i need a conditional statement to only do it on the home page like <?php if (is_home()) { } ?> ??? if so can someone show me the way? cheers

Code:

have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>

” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “>

ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>

” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “>

Hiya,

Just wanted to bump this again. (I won’t keep doing it and piss everyone off).

Thanks.

It is a fine question, and I feel like I know the answer, but it isn’t coming to me at the moment.

I’ll ponder it some more, but hopefully Chris catches this one first!

ok so i have been on a wordpress forum and got this info…

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
if ($paged < 2) {
// DO STUFF
}
?>

The guy basically said that this would say that this would check if it was page 1, and do stuff accordingly. I had a quick go and couldn’t work out how to use it with 2 loops because my knowledge is pretty lacking!

what do you think Doc? or anyone else that fancies being my hero!?!!?

Thank you!

Yeah you gotta check if you are on a paginated page for that first query. Otherwise that first query has no idea and will just grab the most recent post. You don’t need to do that fancy stuff to know if a post is paginated though, you can just:

Code:

if ($paged) {
// do stuff
}

The $paged variable is equal to the # of page you are on. So if you are at /page/2, $paged will be 2. You can use that number to offset the query. Like

Code:

if ($paged) {
query_posts(“posts_per_page=1&offset=$paged”)
}

That offset parameter will skip the first X posts. You’ll need to adjust as needed. As in, if you show 5 posts per page, you’ll need to offset by 6 on page two, so you’ll need to do like:

Code:

$offset = (5 * $paged) + 1;
