How to display articles from category with prev / next navigation ...
Hello,
I have created my website all using textpattern. I would like to have a category with videos I want to publish online as a list of videos. I have created few articles with videos into the videos category. I want to display 3 videos per page, so I have created a page (called video) with <txp:body /> that uses own style and all videos in video category are using this page. I have created a form called video-listing with tag
<txp:excerpt />
Every video page has own excerpt with watch invite design. So when you click on watch invite excerpt you will go to the video page body. So I have also created new page that uses mentioned video page with this:
<txp:article_custom category=“video” form=“video-listing” sort=“Posted asc” limit=“3” />
So when I call this Archive page it there will be 3 excerpts displayed. But there are many more video pages I want to display on every page per 3 excerpts. But when I add <txp:newer /> and <txp:older /> tags – they do not work.
So I can display all articles excerpts from category all limit them to 3 but without prev / next navigation.
Please could you help me? You can see visually my website at _http://dimasnet.com
How is possible to move between articles in category?
Thank You Many times,
Dimas.

Hi
<txp:newer /> and <txp:older /> work with txp:article, but you can simulate the navigation using txp:variable and the plugin adi_gps and adi_calc.
build the link like this: yoursite.ru/?pag=2
get the pag variable using adi_gps
multiply per 3 using adi_calc
use <txp:article_custom offset=’<txp:variable name=“pag” />’ limit=“3” />
and then put the new next link adding 1.
This is a general use.
Cheers.

Hello and thank you for reply,
I see it is so difficult, I have installed both plug-ins, could you please tell me more detailed how to do that please? Or maybe there is an example anywhere?
Thank you,
Dimas
