Link to oldest or newest
I’m working on creating my first site in Textpattern and I really would like a simple way to link to the first(oldest) and last(newest) articles in a section. There aren’t oldest, newest or link_to_first, link_to_last tags.
I’ve tried some plugins but nothing I’ve found does what I want. Ideally I’d like the navigation to look like this:
First Previous Next Last
Thanks

Re: Link to oldest or newest
Not tested, but something like this perhaps…
First:
<txp:php>
global $s;
$url = permlinkurl_id(safe_field('ID', 'textpattern', 'section = '.doSlash($s).' ORDER BY Posted ASC'));
echo '<a href="'.htmlspecialchars($url).'">First</a>';
</txp:php>Last:
<txp:php>
global $s;
$url = permlinkurl_id(safe_field('ID', 'textpattern', 'section = '.doSlash($s).' ORDER BY Posted DESC'));
echo '<a href="'.htmlspecialchars($url).'">Last</a>';
</txp:php>Last edited by ruud (2008-06-22 20:47:45)

What ruud says or ob1_pagination might be of help.

Re: Link to oldest or newest
Thanks for the response guys.
ruud, when I try to use that code I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/textpattern-4.0.6/textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(2804) : eval()’d code on line 4
colak, I tried ob1_pagination and it would be perfect if I could get it to reverse order. It lists articles from newest to oldest and while it can reverse the numbering I couldn’t find a way to reverse the article order to be oldest to newest.

Re: Link to oldest or newest
Wouldn’t something like this work?
<txp:article sort="posted asc" form="first" limit="1" />
<txp:link_to_prev>Previous</txp:link_to_prev>
<txp:link_to_next>Next</txp:link_to_next>
<txp:article sort="posted desc" form="last" limit="1" />Form ‘first’:
<txp:permlink>First</txp:permlink>Form ‘last’:
<txp:permlink>Last</txp:permlink>Offline

You’re getting too good at this Els. You need to be careful or you might have the WP camp knocking on your door. ;)

Re: Link to oldest or newest
I’ve used Els’ solution to some success, but there’s one problem remaining:
When a post is viewed individually (i.e. the comment form is displayed), the link to the newest/oldest post is followed by another comment form. I know this is expected behavior since I’m using <txp:article />, but is there a way I could suppress the comment form?

Hi Hans,
look at “Admin -> Preferences” for the auto-append comments to article and switch it to “no”.
Probably that’s what you are looking for.
Then, you will have to manually add all the comments logic to your article form.

Re: Link to oldest or newest
If you wish to fine tune your comments and don’t know how and where to accomplish (prefs/forms/write tab), here’s an FAQ page that lists all this quite detailed, like I’d need it ;)

Thanks guys! Things have quite a lot since the early days, and now I’m paying the price for not upgrading sooner.

Re: Link to oldest or newest
Directed to you Els, as I found this thread to be most appropriate for my site’s requirements, and as the bombsite says, you’re the tag master!
I have a list of all articles in a section that are sorted by title in ascending order. I also have link_to_next and link_to_previous in the article but, this resolves to articles based on their post date/time. Is it possible to have the next/previous links work in a way that it navigates through the articles as they appear in the alphabetically sorted list?
Article List:
Article 1
Article 2
Article 3
Current Article is:
Article 2
[link_to_next = Article 3 || link_to_prev = Article 2]
Cheers,
Husain

I wish he’d shut up for once ;) I fear I can’t answer those expectations… ;)
No native TXP tags to achieve this I think, but there is a plugin :)
