I was wandering if it was possible to only show the latest record using foreach?
Right now my code looks like this and gets all the records:

yup, can do

{foreach from=$posts.title item=title key=i name="posts"}
{if $smarty.foreach.posts.last}
Display record
{/if}
{/foreach}

You might wanna consider to only assign this last item to Smarty in the first place. It doesn't make very much sense to iterate a whole array just to output only the last item, does it?

Maybe consider the PHP array functions to manipulate the array pointer (since they can be used as modifiers):

{assign var=last value=$myarray|@end}
{$last.title}
{$last.author}

Or is your $posts array not a regular recordset?

It replaces the entire thing -- looping a foreach and testing for the last record is not required. My example just forces the array to point at the last array element and then simply use that as your record of interest.

There may be a confusion, though: Do your attributes each have their own arrays? eg: a separate array for title, author, etc or is record packed into a single indexed array like a recordset (I assume the latter in my example).
