Re: Widescreen, a photoblog template

Let’s see if I can explain this without confusing you (too much). The default section (your frontpage) is always an article list. Even if you only allow one article to show it is still an article list of one.

When you select an article from your archive you are now viewing an individual article.

Keeping the above in mind, for article list views you need to use the <txp:newer> and <txp:older> tags but for individual article views you need to use the <txp:link_to_next> and <txp:link_to_previous> tags.

I believe you are using a single form template for your top navigation so what you need to do is surround those links with a conditional like so:-

<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:link_to_next>Next</txp:link_to_next>
<txp:link_to_previous>Previous</txp:link_to_previous>
<txp:else />
<txp:newer>Next</txp:newer>
<txp:older>Previous</txp:older>
</txp:if_individual_article>

or something similar to that to get the exact effect that you need.

Re: Widescreen, a photoblog template

Should be <txp:link_to_prev>Previous</txp:link_to_prev> though.

Here is the relevent portion of the header-nav form

<li id="n-previous">
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:link_to_prev>Previous</txp:link_to_prev>
<txp:else />
<txp:older>Previous</txp:older>
</txp:if_individual_article>
</li>
<li id="n-next">
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:link_to_next>Next</txp:link_to_next>
<txp:else />
<txp:newer>Next</txp:newer>
</txp:if_individual_article>
</li>

Re: Widescreen, a photoblog template

Thanks a lot! Thebombsite gave the perfect explanation and Matt then quoted the relevant portion of code so I didn’t even have to type anything :)

And everything now works as intended, plus I learned a few things about Textpattern.
