How to display most recent node in different Panel I have a magazine with two content types: Issue and Article. Regarding the Issue content type, I want one design for the most recent Issue and another design for all the past Issues. The past Issues are taken care of with Display Suite. For the current Issue I would like to use a panel/node variant. My question is, how do I display only the most recent node from the Issue content type without changing the design for all Issue nodes?
You can use Views module to have custom content or links and show as a separate page or a block.
