in the panel context from existing (single)nodes? what do i put in there to retrieve only one node content, query from the latest, eg: the first latest, or the second latest or the third and so on.
Also how to do so with the views module?
if you just want to show latest first, second and third node content in different areas of your page what you would do is create 3 different displays in a new view -
first latest node content block order by post data DESC and in your block under Basic Settings > Items per page > change limit to 1 and leave offset at 0
second latest node content block order by post data DESC and in your block under Basic Settings > Items per page > change limit to 1 and leave offset at 1
third latest node content block order by post data DESC and in your block under Basic Settings > Items per page > change limit to 1 and leave offset at 2
this should work fine - might not be best way to go about it but will give you what you want - also don't forget the rest of your filters such as node type. etc
