Hi.

I am doing a project in silverstripe .

On one of my section holder page templates display 9 stories.

One of these stories makes up the hero at top and is displayed slightly differently to the others.

At the moment I am using a function HeroNews (below) to get the first story and then displpaying.... This is fine but will pick out the latest story andn then when I use <% control Children %> the story is displayed again in this list.

function HeroNews($num=1) {
$news = DataObject::get_one("ArticleHolder");
return ($news) ? DataObject::get("ArticlePage", "ParentID = $news->ID", "Date DESC", "", $num) : false;
}

.... However I want to be able to mark in CMS which story is set as main story - say with a flag of some kind. and for this story NOT to appear in the main list below.

Does this make sense? Anyone know how I should approach this.

Thanks

...OK i have now added a boolean datafield "IsMainStory" to my page class.

Can anyone tell me what is the correct GET statement retreive this story.

And what Get to retrieve the rest of stories not marked as "IsMainStory"

I have solved this..
sorry I should have tried before asking.

simply put the filter

"IsMainStory = true()or false" into GET statement.

Thanks
