You can try having a 'limit' and an offset. ie
<% control LatestNews(1, 1) %>
Then in your function you would have
function LatestNews($num=5, $offset=0) {
$news = DataObject::get_one("ArticleHolder");
return ($news) ? DataObject::get("ArticlePage", "ParentID = $news->ID", "Date DESC", "", "{$offset,$num}") : false;
}I'm pretty sure passing 2 arguments to a function works. If not then you may need to get rid of the 'limit' one and use it for offset (since you aren't changing the limit).

Thanks for the help it exactly what i was looking for !!!
Silverstripe certainly turning out to be a great platform
i did however have to remove the {} as i was getting a syntax error but now seems to be working fine
function LatestNews($num=5, $offset=0) {
$news = DataObject::get_one("ArticleHolder");
return ($news) ? DataObject::get("ArticlePage", "ParentID = $news->ID", "Date DESC", "", "$offset,$num") : false;
}Thank you so much for you help and saving me a massive headache
Cheers
Nick
