How to hide the first article in a module was created by Ruth Cheesley
Hi guys,
I'm in the final throes of a k2 powered website project and I wondered if someone could advise me how to do what seems to be a simple thing but I'm not sure on the syntax.
I'm using RokMicroNews to show the first featured K2 item from xyz categories and all featured items in RokNewsPager elsewhere on the page. Is it possible to have RokNewsPager start displaying from the 2nd featured article, rather than the first one - as clearly with this module showing all, it's repeating the one showing in RokMicroNews.
Basically what I need it to do is disregard the first featured article, I think?

Not sure how RokNewsPager works, but in general here's what you want to do.
$itemCount = 0;
foreach... // this is the foreach statement that RokNewsPager uses to list each item
$itemCount = $itemCount + 1;
if ($itemCount > 1) { // left blank so nothing happens on the first item
} else {
... // the rest of the RokNewsPager foreach statement
}
$itemCount = 0;
foreach... // this is the foreach statement that RokNewsPager uses to list each item
$itemCount = $itemCount + 1;
if ($itemCount > 1) { // left blank so nothing happens on the first item
} else {
... // the rest of the RokNewsPager foreach statement
}

Sorry it's late here and I've had a couple of glasses of wine. It should read if ($itemCount == 1) instead of if ($itemCount > 1).

Hi,
Terry is right. In attachment, an updated default.php for the RokNewsPager to copy in the folder :
'templates/YOURJOOMLTEMPLATE/html/mod_roknewspager/
