Question

Does anyone know how to display 3 previous posts on article page? Let’s say I’m in article post page and would like to display previous 3 posts images (basing on the post I’m currently reading) below it’s content, but not next posts images. I was trying to do this with setting up the offset in the db query but with no luck. Can someone please help me with this one? I would greatly appreciate any help or at least pointing me in the right direction.

That shouldn’t be too hard, if you use an id field with auto increment values, you could do something like this:

SELECT id, name FROM articles WHERE id < {current_id} ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3;

Obviously, replace {current_id} with the id of the article you’re currently reading.
