We have a function to pull RSS feeds and display the post on a ColdFusion page using this code:

<cfset rssUrl = "rss1">
<cffeed action="read" source="#rssUrl#" query="fitness" properties="info">

<cfset rssUrl2 = "rss2">
<cffeed action="read" source="#rssUrl2#" query="nutrition" properties="info">

<cfif #fitness.PUBLISHEDDATE# gt #nutrition.PUBLISHEDDATE#>
<cfset entries="fitness">
<cfelse>
<cfset entries="nutrition">
</cfif>

Output done via:

<cfoutput query="#entries#">

Problem is, the RSS feed has several posts and we only want to show one. Any thoughts on how to get it to pull and display only the most recent post? (We want the feed to have multiple posts, so right now our non ideal solution is to set maximum posts per feed to 1)

    cfoutput/query=".." will go over an entire query. If you only want to do the first row, use:

    <cfoutput>
Title from row 1: #somequery.title[1]#
</cfoutput>

    Basically – array notation on the column. Make sense?
