Hello: I am building a site where it would be very advantageous to have the Next/Previous linking ability restricted to specific categories. Is this possible in a future release?

Thanks,

Estelle

Would love to see this as well! Actually, there are several things I’d like to see added to the Next/Previous tags, including restricting by category, and the same orderby and sort flexibility as in the main weblog entries tag. smile

I would also love this. Also pagination within category would be handy.

Any ideas about how to achieve this effect, with PHP or other workarounds, would be greatly appreciated.

Seconding this one too. Next/Previous needs to be able to take category tags, orderby, etc, to be really useful in a non-blog situation.

Thirding, fourthing and fifthing this one. An addition to the next/prev tags for single entry pages would be cool. I’m taking the syntax from the ‘entry_linker’ plugin for gallery entries:

{exp:weblog:next_entry categories=“on”}

<p>Next entry: <a href=”{path=“news/comments”}”>{title}</a></p>

{/exp:weblog:next_entry}

We did a modification to mod.weblog.php to effect this change in behaviour.

The usage becomes:

{exp:weblog:next_entry restrict_category="yes"}
<p>Next entry: <a href="{path="news/comments"}">{title}</a></p>
{/exp:weblog:next_entry}

{exp:weblog:prev_entry restrict_category="yes"}
<p>Previous entry: <a href="{path="news/comments"}">{title}</a></p>
{/exp:weblog:prev_entry}

This is the diff patch:

Edited your post to add code tags so that the smileys don’t come up.  [ code ] code [ /code ] (no spaces, obviously) for future reference. =)

Adding a bump to this Feature Request as well. Can’t use the Next/Prev Entry link unless we can specify by Category.
