Simple blog questions: jump to oldest
I’m first time using TXP as a simple blog. So I’m having just article list, showing one post per page, and previous/next links. I’m currently not using individual article pages at all, all the content is always straight on the listing page.
So I’d like to provide link to the oldest post (read: the last page of the article list). How to?

Have you had a look at ob1_pagination?

Re: Simple blog questions: jump to oldest
Thanks, I tried it but it’s too complicated for this purpose: I just need the link to last artcile, not pagination numbers which can not be set off with the plugin. I even looked at the code inside the plugin but couldn’t remove unnecessary parts of it :)

You could give the oldest post a status of “sticky”, then add <txp:article status="sticky" /> after your regular <txp:article /> tag.

Re: Simple blog questions: jump to oldest
But that renders the first article below the newest one?
I’d like to have just link to it in the sidebar, so user can start reading from the beginning.
Or am I missing something?

Stupid me! Hit me!
in page’s sidebar:
<txp:article form=“article_listing” limit=“1” listform=“article_listing” pgonly=“0” sort=“Posted asc” time=“past” />
in form:
<txp:permlink>The first post</txp:permlink>

Oops — I misunderstood your question, so you can hit me if you like. Nice solution; note that you can leave out the listform, pgonly, and time attributes and get the same result.
