How to test for the two latest posts?

  • Does anyone know if it’s possible to test whether or not a particular post is one of the latest two posts on the blog?

    The reason I ask is because I’d like to display a certain image on only my first two posts…I just don’t know how to test for that condition.

    Thanks so much for your help.

  • The code below shows how to get the IDs of the top two posts into an array and use if (in_array($post->ID)) in the loop to test if a post is one of the top two.

    <?php
$mytopposts = get_posts('caller_get_posts=1&showposts=2');
$postids = array();
foreach ($mytopposts as $toppost) {
  $postids[] = $toppost->ID;
}
$args = array(
  'posts_per_page' => 10,
);
query_posts($args);
if (have_posts()) {
   while (have_posts()) {
     the_post();
     echo '<h2>'; the_title(); echo '</h2>';
     if (in_array($post->ID,$postids)) {
       echo "<p>This one is a Top Post</p>";
     }
   }
}
?>
