previous / next article links

I’m tring to display the words prev: and next: before the links at the end of a post. At the moment the words is showing up even if there is no previous/next article. Does anybody know why this isn’t working?

<txp:if_first_article>
<txp:else />
<p>prev: <txp:link_to_prev><txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev><br />
</txp:if_first_article>
<txp:if_last_article>
<txp:else />
next: <txp:link_to_next><txp:next_title /></txp:link_to_next></p>
</txp:if_last_article>

also, on a side note, is there a way to negate an if tag to avoid having to use an empty tag and an <txt:else /> ?

Thanks =]

Re: previous / next article links

If you are sorting by ‘posted desc’ you should switch if_first_article and if_last_article. Your first article is the newest, so there is not a ‘next article’, but there is a previous one. And the other way around.
