Loop start point (possible feature request)

  • Hello Eliot
    For the moment I have had to code this.
    I am using child pages but this could apply to any query.

    Let’s say I have a page with 10 children.
    I can list them now sorted alphabetically.
    I would liked to do the same but start at child 8

    giving me
    child8 child9 child10 child1 … child7
    The starting point is variable in my case is the day of the week.
    Any suggestions
    Thanks.

  • What about the offset function?

    “offset – offset the loop by a number of posts; for example: offset=3 to skip the first three”

    That’s exactly what I was thinking, Peter, thanks again for your input. ??

    Looking at Oz22’s description, I see it’s more complicated. The offset parameter doesn’t display the skipped posts. Using offset=8, the loop would display:

    child8 child9 child10..

    ..but not child1~7 after.

    The only way I can imagine doing it is:

    [loop type=post offset=8] .. [/loop]
[loop type=post count=7] .. [/loop]

    ..but you would have to duplicate the same template for each loop.
