Hi there, anyone know how I would hide the most recent entry in a view of nodes? I have a list of nodes entries that a view pulls up and I would like to hide the most recent entry from showing up.

Is this achievable in the Views control? Or would this entail some custom solution?

This screenshot is what i'm trying to achieve:

As you can see, I want the most recent node to show up in the main feature area and the rest of the nodes to show up in the block view.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Please help! thanks!

Have you tried the Nodequeue module?

See http://www.angrydonuts.com/why_node_queue_is_an_important_m for an exposition of why this module is so useful.

Rather displaying a view of your nodes, display a view of a nodequeue of your nodes.

You could then achieve this functionality in a number of ways - you could either have a separate nodequeue for your lead article, or you could just use 2 views, and filter them by nodequeue position.

It will also allow you more flexibility - for instance you might not want the most recent post as the lead story.

I can't recommend this module enough, it provided just the functionality I needed on a couple of my sites.

Good luck.
