Hi,

My Blog displays the full messages from recent posts.. but I want it to:

1) Only show the single most recent entry. (I dont mean the list of archived messages!)

2) Exclude entries from a certain category so that they are only displayed in the Archives list and not shown as the latest message.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Mike

Without seeing your code, I can only give you generic answers.



In your main index:





Again, in your main index:



In place of nameofcategory1 you'd enter your category name, such as Current or whatever. This will then show entries only from your listed categories. I don't think you can currently set category= for an excluded category, but instead you must list all the categories you want included.

There are some plugins for excluding categories, but MTFilterCategories doesn't work with MTEntries, and MTExcludeCategories doesn't work if you use lastn= attribute.

Someone else may know a more elegant way to exclude categories (and I'd like to know what this as well!).

Cheers,
Gary

Thanks mate.. works a treat! Now I gotta STP if I dont find a good way to get my site into two fixed columns

okay, this is an old topic but my question is related...

i've got my entry archives listed by category. i want to exclude a category from that listing.

here's what the code looks like (it's the default code):


so essentially on the side i want to be able to list some categories, and then have others appear elsewhere on my blog.

thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

FilterCategories plugin
