Links to "Previous" and "Next" page
This article discribes how to implement the function to click forward and backward between the pages of a current menu.
Note: \ This code does not use to split content to dispose it over an amount of different pages (e.g. the output of a database-query). For this purpose use SmartyPaginate.
Add the following Code to your template:
{load_item_childs id=$MENU->getParentID() assign="sisters"}
{if count($sisters) > 0}
{foreach from=$sisters item="cur"}
{if isset($last) && $last->getID() == $MENU->getID()}
{assign var="next" value="$cur"}
{/if}
{if !isset($next) && $cur->getID() != $MENU->getID()}
{assign var="prev" value=$cur}
{/if}
{assign var="last" value=$cur}
{/foreach}
{/if}
Explanation:\ This code figures out, wether the current page has got sister-pages (in other words: whether there are more pages in the current menu), and if, which of them is the previous ("$prev") and which the next one ("$next").
Finally the "items"("$prev" and "$next") need to be linked:
{if isset($prev) || isset($next)}
`<div>`
{if isset($prev)}
`<a href="{link item=$prev}">`previous page`</a>`
{/if}
{if isset($next)}
`<a href="{link item=$next}">`next page`</a>`
{/if}
`</div>`
{/if}
Instead of the words "previous page" and "next page" you may want to use images (e.g. arrows):
`<img src="path/to/prev.png">`
`<img src="path/to/next.png">`
The rest will do bigace for you...
