Hi,

As it is written in the title, I would like to know how to automatically display the first item of a folder?

If someone have an idea this will help me, thanks.

Hello,

What you want is possible via a simple template fetch call made within your own custom template.

See the fetch 'limit' parameter, you can set it to 1 and only fetch the first item of your folder node.

See the docs first!

Here is an untested example:

{def $first_item=fetch( 'content', 'list', hash( 'parent_node_id', $indexpage,
                                   'limit', 1,
                                   'sort_by', array( 'published', false() ) ) )
<h1>{$first_item.name|wash}</h1>

Cheers,
