txp:older styling / variable

when I use txp:older as a container tag, it functions correctly, and doesn’t show on the last page of an article_list.

however, I can’t apply any styling to the links that are generated. is that right? no class attribute on txp:older?

when i used it in the manner below, it shows up all the time, even on the last page of an article list.

<a href='<txp:older '>more</a>

i tried to create a variable to check to see if <txp:older /> generates content, but it’s always reporting back as empty…

<txp:variable name="morearticles" value='<txp:older />' />

<txp:if_variable name="morearticles" value=""><txp:else />display this</txp:if_variable>

it always comes back as true, even if there are more articles (which should make it false).

what am i missing?

Re: txp:older styling / variable

On the styling, could you cheat a little and wrap it inside a styled span?

Have you used the older tags below the article tag?
