another news archive module that acts differently

[cyr0n_k0r]

Ok, here is the effect I am going for.

I have my main news on the middle colum. I have my news archive module on the right, with a thread preview and all that good stuff. The news archive displays the 5 most recent news postings.

Now what I want below that module, is a plain text list of the 6th most recent article on down the list. It would look like this.

-----
blah blah article : 7/31/04
next article : 7/30/04
even older : 7/29.04

you get the picture. But the thing is. I want it to START with the 6TH most recent news posting. Or if I can set it to start at any number of news postings that would be even better. Is there any way to accomplish this?

Quick and dirty?

Copy the news module php and edit the queries and result building. If your set on your needs this is the fastest way although it flies against the grain of flexability that cmps offers.

However it saves editing the cmps core which can be a positive.

I'm actually considering similar, but not plain text, as I want to have news from one forum that is only ever 1 post deep, where as the other forum is x posts. I am planing on copying the news module and editing it to my specification as it's not going to change under my watch.
