Hi

On my homepage, I list the three newest articles, and at the bottom there is an "Archive" link. By clicking on it, the user should get a list of all the articles EXCEPT the three that are already on the homepage.

Right now the archive page lists all articles, but how can I restrict it to exclude the first n articles?

Thanks for your help!

You can't do this in CityScript. But it's logical to expect an archive to contain all of the articles.

You could us a keyword. Put "current" into your current articles. Select "current" for your home page and not current" for your archive. That's not very automatic. I wouldn't do it that way.

You can separate articles by date with scripts like these:

This does today's and future events:
{$foreach x in (and(folder "EuphonicList") (or (today) (after publishdate)))SortAscendBy .fileddate $}

This does previous events:
{$foreach x in (and(folder "EuphonicList") (or (today) (before publishdate)))SortDescendBy .fileddate $}

Hi,

there's no "foreach  except first 3" in CityScript. But you can list all articles, give them a unique ID and hide the first three with CSS.

Here's a suggestion using the filedDate and modifiedDate variables for the unique ID. Make sure you remove the linebreaks from the code, which were inserted by the discussion group.

<style type="text/css">
{$ foreach 3 x in (all) sortAscendBy .filedDate $}
{$ setDateTimeFormat "English" "MMMddyyyy" "HHmmss" $}
div#{$ x.filedDate $}{$ x.filedTime $}{$ x.modifiedDate $}{$ x.modifiedTime $} { display: none; }
{$ next $}
</style>

{$ foreach x in (all) sortAscendBy .filedDate $}
{$ setDateTimeFormat "English" "MMMddyyyy" "HHmmss" $}
<div id="{$ x.filedDate $}{$ x.filedTime $}{$ x.modifiedDate $}{$ x.modifiedTime $}">

<!-- List item for each article -->
<p><a href="{$ x.link $}">{$ x.headline $}</a>
<br />{$x.teaser$}</p>

</div>
{$ next $}

Thanks Arend, that's a really nice tip.
