I’m aware of an inherent problem in EE that does not allow the pagination of related/reverse related entries. Glen Swinfield developed a plugin called “Better ExpressionEngine Related Entries” that, according to this reply, allows for the pagination of related and reverse related entries.

You can view and download his plugin here: http://www.glenswinfield.co.uk/activity/comment/better_expressionengine_related_entries/

I will be cramped with other work until about Apri l7th and won’t have the luxury to do much development until then, so if any industrious developers here want to give it a shot, or already have, please do reply with your feedback. =)

Cheers!

dimsum, not sure if you ever got to this or not, but I just tried out Glen’s extension for a project where I needed to be able to use pagination w/reverse related entries - worked like a charm!

Hey salmoon, looks like Glen just released a newer version: http://erskinelabs.com/post/expressionengine-related-entries/

If you’re still using the old one (http://www.iterasi.net/openviewer.aspx?sqrlitid=oxgcrcyto02nqwq0yptldw), though), you should be able to add the child_url_title or parent_url_title parameter to your weblog entries expression.

I’m trying to use the Erskine Related Entries module, but I’m unable to get any results.

Basically I’m trying to display a list of items (with pagination) that belong to a certain “family”.

weblog: product_items
relationship field: item_family

weblog: product_families

I’m able to easily display all of the items with native “reverse_related_entries”... BUT the problem is I don’t get the pagination I need! Here’s my attempt with the Erskine Related Entries module:

Here’s the main template that brings in the embed:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="product_families"}
<h2>{family_description}</h2>

{embed="embeds/related"  child_url_title="{segment_3}"}

{/exp:weblog:entries} 

Here’s the embed:

{exp:ed_related:entries weblog="product_items" child_url_title="{embed:child_url_title}" limit="10" sort="asc"}

    <p>item_id: {item_id}</p>
    <p>item_photo: {item_photo}</p>
    <p>item_family: {item_family}</p>

{if no_results}
<p>There are no entries available.</p>
{/if}

{/exp:ed_related:entries}

mucha, did you manage to solve your pagination problem? I’m having a similar issue with this… able to display all entries but pagination not working for me.

Here’s my code:

{exp:ed_related:entries weblog="date" dynamic="off" child_url_title="{segment_3}" orderby="date_date" sort="asc" paginate="bottom" limit="5"}
<h4>{date_date format="%D, %F %d, %Y"}, {date_time}</h4></li>
<a href="/booking/{url_title}/" alt="Book for {date_date format=">Click here to book/make an enquiry</a>
{paginate}

{if previous_page}
<a href="{auto_path}">Previous Page</a> &nbsp;
{/if}

{if next_page}
<a href="{auto_path}">Next Page</a>
{/if}

{/paginate}
{/exp:ed_related:entries} 

This displays 5 entries but when I click ‘Next page’ it just reloads the same 5 entries.

any help would be great

cheers,

Chris

Unfortunately no, I never got it figured out.

I ended up just resorting to jQuery and the “Quick Paginate” plugin.
