Pannell, Judge,
.concurring specially. I concur in the ruling made but feel that the failure to review the denial of the defendant’s motion for summary judgment needs further explanation.
The property owner in the present case filed his notice of appeal from that portion of the trial judge’s order granting a summary judgment giving a materialman’s lien to the plaintiff materialman and also from that portion of the order denying the motion for summary judgment made by the *122appellant defendant. While there was a direct appeal from the order denying appellant’s motion for summary judgment, the appellant failed to secure a certificate for review. See Moulder v. Steele, 118 Ga. App. 87 (3) (162 SE2d 785). Both are necessary for its review on appeal. Hood v. General Shoe Corp., 119 Ga. App. 649 (2) (168 SE2d 326); Ga. Farm Bureau Mut. Ins. Co. v. Coleman, 121 Ga. App. 510, 513 (174 SE2d 351). The appellant, in his oral argument, cited Algernon Blair, Inc. v. National Surety Corp., 222 Ga. 672 (151 SE2d 724) as authority to the contrary. In that case the Supreme Court held: "The appellant is entitled to have every ruling considered under the Appellate Practice Act (Ga. L. 1965, p. 18; Code Ann. § 6-701) without regard to its appealability under the summary judgment law (Ga. L. 1959, pp. 234, 236; Ga. L. 1966, pp. 609, 662).” This case is no longer controlling authority since the changes made by Section 25 of the Act of 1967 (Ga. L. 1967, pp. 226, 238; Code Ann. § 81A-156 (h)), amending Section 56 (h) of the Civil Practice Act, Ga. L. 1966, pp. 609, 660; and the enactment of Section 1, Paragraph 4 of the Act of 1968 (Ga. L. 1968, pp. 1072, 1073; Code Ann. §6-701). See Campbell v. Carroll, 121 Ga. App. 497, 501 (174 SE2d 375). The Court of Appeals cases cited above are based upon the law as changed by these enactments.
