Display only last post on index.html

Support

Hi there I’m was doing a static site by hand and I thought I would try zola instead.
The site is quite simple, it’s for displaying an image and have a button for previous and another for next. I wanted to display only the last post on the first page you see, so I edited index.html with

<div>
	{% set page = get_page(path="tiras/second.md")  %}
	{{ page.content }}
</div>

but it’s showing the code instead of the page.

I also want to replace second.md by something that refers allways to the last post.
thanks in advance.

Oh I was not using “safe”… nevermind.

I still don’t get how do I get the last post.
Does zola has a section.pages.last ?

I was trying to do it like this, but it doesn’t work

<div>
	{% set last_page = 0 %}
	{% for page in section.pages %}
	  {% set last_page = loop.index %}
	{% endfor %}
	{{last_page}}
	{% set page = get_page(path=f"tiras/tira{last_page}.md")  %}
	{{ page.content | safe }}
</div>

We actually just need:

{% set section = get_section(path="tiras/_index.md") %}
		
	{% for page in section.pages %}
		{% if loop.first  %}
			<h1>{{ page.title }}</h1>
			{{ page.content | safe  }}

If you’re just trying to get the last element (and don’t care about the other items), this should work:

{% section.pages | last %}

From the Tera docs.

Thanks!
