Add class to newer/older

michaelkpate · 2020-01-28 23:36:32

I am working on adapting a template I purchased to work with Textpattern.

In the template, the active line of pagination looks like:

<li class="active"><a href="#">3</a> </li>

I’ve been trying to emulate the behavior by copying/stealing code from Pat64’s wonderful example

<txp:newer shift="0" break="li" class="active"><txp:yield item="page" /></txp:newer>

Unfortunately, class is not a supported attribute of newer.

<li><a href="https://patetech.info/?pg=4">4</a></li>

Hi Michael
Although I agree that a class attribute would be great, I’m wondering if this would work for you:

<li class="active"><txp:newer shift="0" link="" break=""><txp:yield item="page" /></txp:newer></li>

I am kinda surprised – but I may have something – but I thought the class attribute was a global one, and thus would apply. It sure would be useful as your case illustrates.

It is global, but applies to wraptag. Otherwise, what would be its action on unwrapped tags like <txp:site_name class="home" />?

Yiannis suggestion is the simplest one, but you can also try

<txp:newer shift="0" wraptag="li" class="active"><txp:yield item="page" /></txp:newer>
<txp:newer shift="0" break="li" breakclass="active"><txp:yield item="page" /></txp:newer>

yes, it is as I just discovered after adding my comment above.

It did indeed. Thanks. I tried a few variations but couldn’t quite get the syntax down.
