Question

in the panel context from existing (single)nodes? what do i put in there to retrieve only one node content, query from the latest, eg: the first latest, or the second latest or the third and so on.

Also how to do so with the views module?

Answer 1

if you just want to show latest first, second and third node content in different areas of your page what you would do is create 3 different displays in a new view –

first latest node content block
order by post data DESC and in your block under Basic Settings > Items per page > change limit to 1 and leave offset at 0

second latest node content block
order by post data DESC and in your block under Basic Settings > Items per page > change limit to 1 and leave offset at 1

third latest node content block
order by post data DESC and in your block under Basic Settings > Items per page > change limit to 1 and leave offset at 2

this should work fine – might not be best way to go about it but will give you what you want – also don’t forget the rest of your filters such as node type. etc
