Serendipity Forums

For an individual start page I need to pull:

a) the latest entry from a selected category (I know how to do that)
b) the latest entry from any category but that selected category

I seem to remember serendipity_fetchPrintEntries getting some kind of "skip" option to realize this, but I can't find it in either the documentation or the forums. Did I dream this or do we actually have it? (A hint on which s9y version implemented this would also be very welcome.)

Hi
Don't know if thats' the easiest way, but serendipity_fetchEntries (which get called by the smarty-function) has a $filter_sql-parameter. With that, you can specifiy a WHERE in sql like you want it, excluding a category somewhat like "ec.categoryid <> x", where x is the category to be excluded.

Yes, serendipity_fetchPrintEntries also has an optional parameter filter_sql="$filter", so you could do something like:
Not sure I have that perfect, but perhaps someone better informed will come along fine tune it.

Thanks guys. Works like a charm after combining your codes into one "best-of-both-worlds" code
$template_option.specialcat needs to be selected using a theme option.
