Photo Gallery Entry Linking

The Next and Previous Entry Links allow you to automatically generate links to the next or previous entry. They are used when displaying a single entry to provide navigation to other entries.

These tags work as tag pairs and will cycle through all images in the gallery.

{exp:gallery:next_entry gallery="vacation"}

<p>Next entry: <a href="{path='gallery/comments'}">{title}</a></p>

{/exp:gallery:next_entry} {exp:gallery:prev_entry gallery="vacation"}

<p>Previous entry: <a href="{path='gallery/comments'}">{title}</a></p>

{/exp:gallery:prev_entry}

These tags must go on a page designed to show a single entry, such as a comments page. By default, the tags cycle through the current entry's category, but this can be changed with the show_all="" parameter.

The contents of these tags will only appear in a Template if you are viewing a "single-entry" type page (comments, permalink, etc.). The tag contents will not appear for viewers in other cases.

Parameters

gallery=

gallery="vacation"

This parameter is required. You can restrict the cycle to a specific gallery.

show_all=

show_all="y"

By default, the next and previous link tags are restricted to the current entry's category. By using this parameter you can make it rotate through all of the categories.

show_future_entries=

show_future_entries="yes"

You can determine whether you wish for entries dated in the "future" to be included. This option is useful when doing things like creating a list of events, some of which have not occurred yet.

status=

status="open"

You may restrict entries that are assigned to a particular status. You can choose multiple statuses using a pipe:

status="open|closed"

Or exclude statuses using "not"

status="not closed"

Variables

path='

{path=gallery/comments'}

The path (template_group/template) where you want to show the entry. This is typically used within a standard HTML link tag:

<a href="{path='gallery/comments'}">{title}</a>

title

{title}

This variable simply displays the title of the entry.
