How group links and files by pages ?
Is it possible to list links or files like articles, 5 by 5 with pagination ?
I know it’s possible to display the 5 firsts links or files with limit=… But the nexts ?
Any idea to build a links of files collection easy to navigate ?

Have you looked into a jQuery paging script? There are plenty available.

Another idea (for files) is to use upm_file which let’s you easily associate files with articles through a custom field.
This way you will still benefit from article paginaton.

Thanks …
The problem is more with links, as I want to build links collections.
As jQuery scripts hide some parts of the code, all the links must be loaded at the same time : not so fine …
But some good point is to play with this and limit with categories.

I figured that with links or files it is reasonable to load them all at once — each item is small, unlike articles or images. And, once loaded, the paging would be fast.

Re: How group links and files by pages ?
This forum is great! I need to say this because this is my first post…
Now going back to the topic:
Is there a way to associate the lists of links or files with the txp:article, in order to use the native pagination from txp ? this way you could even use all the article-related tags (such as comments) ?

Re: How group links and files by pages ?
You could make a separate article for each link and for each file, with a couple of options for how to associate each article with its respective link or file, but what a pain that would be. I still think jQuery sorting is the way to go (I say that even though I am pretty weak at JavaScript).
It would not be particularly difficult to make a plugin for paginating link and file lists. Various image plugins, mine included, do pagination for galleries. I just don’t see this as a compelling need, because of the jQuery option.

For example: jquery pagination (demo) obtained by googling for those two words :-P
