Hello,
I have a multi list page which displays blog articles.
I would like the latest blog post to be displayed a little differently ie with a larger image and different details from the remaining list.
All the details will be pulled from the blog list.
Any ideas? Thanks Jono

Hi Jono,
What you can do is set a variable that get changed after the first posting. This way you can always tell if you're outputting the first record or not.
It would look something like this:
As long as you're returning the latest post as your first record, this will work.
Hope this helps.

<?php $firstRecord=true; ?>
<?php foreach($blogRecords as $blog): ?>
<?php if($firstRecord):?>
<?php $firstRecord=false; ?>
*OUTPUT LATEST RECORD*
<?php else: ?>
*OUTPUT REGULAR RECORD*
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach?>As long as you're returning the latest post as your first record, this will work.
Hope this helps.
