Hi all,

I am building a new site and I will use AJAX to create a next and prev page style navigation but just ran into a small issue, is there a way I can call the paginate page number only (e.g. P5 or P10) and not the full URL path (e.g. http://localhost/site/P5)

I tried {auto_path} but didn’t work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tony

Hi, Tony. The easiest way would be to let the pagination occur naturally, but use one of the existing third party find and replace plugins take away the extra path information. You can find a few over on Devot-ee.com.

Does that help?

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the reply and for the idea, I downloaded a few find and replace plugins and also used PHP string replace but still can’t get rid of the path?!

At the moment I use the

{if next_page}<a href="http://{auto_path}">Next page</a>{/if}

for the navigation of my pages and that always works but it’s no matter what I try nothing works?! I just can’t remove the path :(

Is there any thing else I can use rather than {auto_path}??

Thanks for the help!
Best regards,
Tony

Tony,

Would the paginate_base= parameter be useful at all?

Try this replace plugin

Hi John,

Thanks for that, I did try that replace plugin but still no joy :( no matter what I try I still can’t change the URL of the pagination link as it still shows the full site path.

Still trying and will post back if I crack it.

Thanks,
Tony

Sound good. Depending on your setup you might be able to simply use {segment_2} or {segment_3} to reference the pagination number, perhaps with a bit of added PHP.

Dear all,

I managed to get it to work :D YAY the paginate_base= was the right way to do it and all I had to do was set paginate_base=”#index.php” and then it just worked so no need for any replace plugins for this.

Thank you all again, the EE support is just the best there is! So happy to use EE!

Tony,

Excellent. Please post back if required.

Cheers
