Navigation of two posts per Page?
One problem I’ve run into is that it doesn’t seem possible to setup
Textpattern so that it will display two post per page with a sensible
navigation link.
wwww.rocamm.com
If you click the More link on the homepage you’ll see that you only
get one new image per page. I can’t find any way around this –
nor any documentation online relating to this problem –
is there a way around this?
would it work to have two separate articles?
any suggestions?

Would you post the contents of your page template, please?

Re: Navigation of two posts per Page?
Mary,
does it have something to do with the offset?
I changed it to 2 and then to 3
it seems to fix the problem slightly but
it is still unpredictable as to where the posts arrange..
and then it’s repeating them..
hmmm.. I feel closer but am still unsure.

Re: Navigation of two posts per Page?

That’s right. Try the following (I’m just posting the relevant part):
<txp:article form="main" limit="1" pageby="2" />
</div>
</td>
<td>
<div id="right_content">
<txp:article form="main" limit="1" offset="1" />Offline

Re: Navigation of two posts per Page?
Mary,
This code seems to work,
except for the posts seem to repeat —
or go in some sort of strange order..
how does this work,
is there a way to predict the order?
is it based on time of post or nothing at all?

Re: Navigation of two posts per Page?
Try if adding pageby="2" in the second article tag helps, I think you need it in both tags.
The default sort order (if you don’t use attribute sort) is posted, descending.
