Introduction
————————————————————————————————————————

With this ExpressionEngine 2 plugin you can now have next / previous links anywhere you want, including between the {exp:channels} tags.

Just supply the plugin with an entry ID and a type (next or previous) and you’re set. It works like the first-party next/previous entry linking.


Examples
————————————————————————————————————————

{exp:sm_links type="previous" entry_id="3"}
    
<p>Previous entry: <a href="{l_path='content/blogs'}">{l_title}</a></p>
{/exp:sm_links}

{exp
:sm_links type="next" entry_id="3"}
    
<p>Next entry: <a href="{l_path='content/blogs'}">{l_title}</a></p>
{/exp:sm_links} 

Parameters:
————————————————————————————————————————

type=“previous”
Defaults to “”. Required. The type of link to create.

entry_id=“23”
Defaults to “”. Required. The entry from which the results are generated.

category=“17”
Defaults to “”. Limit by specific categories.

category_group=“2”
Defaults to “”. Limit by category groups.

show_expired=“no”
Defaults to “no”. Allow expired entried to be included.

show_future_entries=“no”
Defaults to “no”. Allow future entries to be included.

status=“open”
Defaults to “open”. Limit by entry status.

channel=“blogs”
Defaults to “”. Limit by entry channels.


Variables:
————————————————————————————————————————

The ID number of the entry.

{l_title}
The title of the entry.

{l_channel}
The channel title of the entry. Useful for conditional template paths.

{l_url_title} 
The human readable title used in the URL as a permalink.

The path (template_group/template) where you want to show the entry. The entry_id of the entry will be automatically added.

Hi , thanks for sharing, this could be useful for me.

Is it possible to have it return a variable with the entry dates of the links also?

I’d love to help you but to be honest it probably won’t happen. I no longer use EE and so development of add-ons isn’t a priority for me.

Feel free to use the code however you want though, so try to get someone to just modify what I’ve done instead of starting from scratch.

Again, sorry, but I’ve moved on to less restrictive things.
