Minimum articles number for the slider to work?

I wrote this message but post was solved , I’m afraid it is therefore ignored I prefer to open a new ticket.

I do not understand exactly how the slider works. Is there a minimum articles number for the slider to work?

My page settings

– 1 slider with the “A” category + “FEATURED”
– 1 bloc2 with the latests posts form “A” category
– Unique articles: Enabled

I have just 2 posts in the ctaegory “A”
-2 posts in category “A”, all is fine: no slider, 2 articles in bloc2
-2 posts in categories “A” AND “FEATURED”, all is fine: 2 articles in the slider and nothing in the bloc2
– BUT 1 post in category “A” and 1 post in category “A” PLUS “FEATURED” and this is the bug (for me): nothing in the slider and 2 articles in the bloc2

This is not the result I think is logical. I expected 1 article in slider and an other in the bloc2.

Hi,
I’ve tested your case and that 1 article in big slide doesn’t appear because in that slider to show up you must have at last 2 posts. For test make another new post 3 and make it featured in cat A.

Should work.
Thanks!

My problem was with the little slider. But the solution it’s perhaps similar?

Hi Radu,

Yes I have tried Marius solution and it works but this is not the result I expect. For the first few weeks of activity of my website, the lack of content will be a problem. I can not create articles for the sole purpose that the site works …

Hi,
I’ve tested and works fine. What you must have is the slider is limited for 2 post minim to be displayed.

Test:
Post 1 – A category
Post 2 – A + Featured
Post 3 – A + Featured

Page configuration:
Slider – A + Featured
Block – A latest
Unique – Enabled

Result
On slide: Post 2 + Post 3 (because that posts are featured)
On block: Post 1 (just Post 1 because 2 and 3 was eliminated by Unique featured, that post are on slide)

Thanks!

Hi,

Ok, thank you Marius. I have the same limitation. I will try to have 3 items to start 😐
