Using blog_recent_topic_posts() to Exclude Current Post in Returned Results

Hi,

I created a recent posts module for the bottom of my blog to pull in the three most recent posts from the same topic as the present post. I like the way it’s working, but… the first post is the current post.
So is there a way to add in an offset to take posts #2, #3 and #4 and/or exlcude the current post?
Here’s the gist of the module:

{% set number_of_posts = 3 %}
{% set posts = blog_recent_topic_posts("default", content.topic_list[0].slug, 3) %}
{% if module.specific_tag_topic %}
	{% set posts = blog_recent_topic_posts(module.choose_blog, module.tag, number_of_posts) %}
{% endif %}

<section class="blog-feed">
 <div>
 <h2>

 </h2>
 </div>
 <div class="blog-posts">
 {% for post in posts %}
 <div class="blog-post">
 <div class="ni-post blog-post-inner">
 <div class="blog-post-image" style="background-image: url({{ resize_image_url( post.featured_image,0,350 ) }});"></div>
 <div class="blog-post-content-wrapper">
 <a class="blog-post-title" href="{{ post.absolute_url }}"><h3>{{ post.name }}</h3></a>
 <a class="blog-post-read-more" href="{{ post.absolute_url }}">Read More →</a>
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>
 {% endfor %}
 </div>
</section>

If you fetch 4 posts instead of 3, you can use an if statement to filter out the current post using the name of the post.

{% if post.name != content.name %}

Similar to what @Teun said but instead of doing content.name you do a range. Below should work.

{% set number_of_posts = 3 %}
{% set posts = blog_recent_topic_posts("default", content.topic_list[0].slug, 4) %}
{% if module.specific_tag_topic %}
	{% set posts = blog_recent_topic_posts(module.choose_blog, module.tag, number_of_posts) %}
{% endif %}

<section class="blog-feed">
 <div>
 <h2>
 Related Reading
 </h2><br>
 </div>
 <div class="blog-posts">
 {% for post in posts %}
 {% if loop.index in range(2,99) %}
 <div class="blog-post">
 <div class="ni-post blog-post-inner">
 <div class="blog-post-image" style="background-image: url({{ resize_image_url( post.featured_image,0,350 ) }});"></div>
 <div class="blog-post-content-wrapper">
 <a class="blog-post-title" href="{{ post.absolute_url }}"><h3>{{ post.name }}</h3></a>
 <a class="blog-post-read-more" href="{{ post.absolute_url }}">Read More →</a>
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>
 {% endif %}
 {% endfor %}
 </div>
</section>
