Blog Previous and Next links not working properly

I'm having some trouble getting my blog links and css to work on a customized blog despite using the full URL in all the links.

http://74.54.199.50/~stormrep/index.php

The previous and next links are not directing to the correct pages. I have this blog section embedded in the homepage rather than the pageList viewer, which is probably the problem, but that's where I need it.

Any help would be appreciated! TIA!

They're not showing up as links at all for me? Do you have multiple viewers on that page? What version are you running?

Hi Dave, I'm running version 1.12. Ooops, the second entry got deleted. Try it now, if you would be so kind, I've created 2 more test entries.

TIA, soj

Here ya go. The number of pages is set to 1. That's what I needed for this site.

TIA, soj

Ok, try setting pageNum to blank like this:

$options['pageNum'] = '';

What that will do is automatically get the page num from the url (index.php?page=2) or load page 1 by default.

Let me know if that does the trick for you.

Yes it did!

I was wondering, however, if it were possible to use a template other than the index page for the next and previous links. Thanks again!

You bet, just create the page you want and replace the prev/next links with this:

<a href="yourNewPage.php?page=<?php echo $listDetails['prevPageLink'] ?>">&lt;&lt; prev</a>

<a href="yourNewPage.php?page=<?php echo $listDetails['nextPageLink'] ?>">next &gt;&gt;</a>

Hope that helps!
