link to previous/next in same category
masa’s post about sorting previous/next by article title made me wonder if there’s any way to contextually sort articles based on category.
if you click a link for mysite.com/section/?c=category1 and you have the section page set up to display articles one at a time, is there a way to generate previous/next links that will adhere to the ?c=category1 specification that generates a section page showing the first article of category1 so that all other links will be to articles in category1 until a call to mysite.com/section/?c=category2 or some other category is issued?

Have you tried using the Newer/Older tags?

Re: link to previous/next in same category
Asking almost same thing; if I’m in article page (not article listing page), can I provide links to prev and next in same “category1” as current article? Now I have “browse articles from same category link”, which opens category list page, but with that link I’d like to have next/prev straight inside article.

Maybe jk_neighbour is for you.

yes. i tried that. the next/previous links just call whatever articles are next in the same section—ignoring category.

Re: link to previous/next in same category
actually, is there a hack of that plugin that uses the category info created by rss_unlimited_categories instead of category1?

Re: link to previous/next in same category
Is there any other way to do this, cause I need to limit filtering to category2 only, so jk_neighbour doesn’t work. I would need to link to previous & next articles whose category2 matches to the current article.

Hm, haven’t tried jra_links yet, but sort="custom_7,LastMod desc" sounds as if category2 might be possible.

Re: link to previous/next in same category
Hmm…, I already had that plugin for other purpose, and immedeately tested for this. But no, it seems doing only sorting by cat. – not filtering like with sections, and that’s what I would need.
