Looking at the core.paginate.php file, I see there’s a config var for setting up prefixes and suffixes for URLs. I’ve looked at this code and a few of the related files for pagintation, and while I can get the URL structure correct, the pagination does not work anymore.

My URL structures are setup like this:

domain.com/blog/ (lists all the articles)
domain.com/blog/hello-world/ (an individual article)
domain.com/blog/category/test/ (a category page)

And then pages of course are setup like this:

domain.com/blog/P10/

The problem is, I have to use conditionals to check the URL segment so I can display the appropriate information, and since the conditionals don’t allow for regular expressions (booo), I need the pagination URL structure to be like this instead:

domain.com/blog/page/10/

Any clues on what files I’m maybe not editing or if there’s an easier way to do this?

That would be a fairly major hack as you’d also have to turn off the dynamic nature of URLs.  The URL you posted, ExpressionEngine will think “10” is an entry_id.  I would have to recommend against this; you could use PHP conditionals or code your own plugin which would be more upgrade-friendly.

Yeah, guess I’ll have to revert to using PHP in templates, though I would prefer not to. Thanks for the fast response though.

I’ve re-read this and I’m not sure why you have to use a single conditional for your URL structure.  EE will handle that structure out of the box.

Yes, EE would handle this if I set the “comment” page up with an actual URL prefix. I don’t like the URL structure of having to prefix a blog entry with yet another variable, e.g. by default EE wants you to set a blog up like this:

domain.com/blog/ (list all articles)
domain.com/blog/comment/article-title-here/ (individual article)

I have the “comment” page set up as the same path the as main blog page, which has the following conditionals:

{if segment_2 == "" OR segment_2 == "page"}
   <!-- List all blog articles -->
{if:elseif segment_2 AND segment_2 != "category" AND segment_2 != "page"}
   <!-- List the individual blog entry -->
{/if}

If you use the index template, you can leave off the template name from the URL and it will work without conditionals.
