DEPRECATED – DO NOT USE
This tag has never worked as intended or as described in this overview. If you want something to only show up on the 1st item in a loop, use nth positioning with CSS, the :first
indicator or try out [if field="_position" value="1"]
to check for the first row number instead.
Old Documentation: Usage
In many cases when doing an each loop, you may need to add markup, on the first item only. For example to apply a special CSS style or to add an “active” class for jQuery sliders, accordions or tabs. Adding to our chapters example, this next example adds a “first-chapter” class to the first chapter only:
[if chapters] <h3>Chapters</h3> <ul> [each chapters] <li [once] class="first-chapter"[/once]>{@post_title}</li> [/each] </ul> [else] <p>Sorry, No chapters</p> [/if]
