Hi,

I’ve got a problem with next/prev links.

I have 2 categories, Blue and Red in one category group.
I’m displaying both Blue and Red categories on the homepage with “read more”.
I have a top menu for Blue and Red.

I want so that when I’m clicking Blue my “read more” page to have as Next/Previous entries only entries from Blue Category, and if it’s possible to add an .active class to the Blue link in the top nav )

Thank you !

Hi Dorin Vancea,

Which version of EE are you using? Can you share a simplified template with your pagination code? From the docs:

Pagination will also automatically restrict itself to any category you’re currently viewing. So if you have a category specified in your channel entries tag or you are viewing the entries of a category, then the pagination links will automatically restrict themselves to only entries in that category.

Thank you for your reply.

Main page where both categories are displayed: index

{exp:channel:entries channel="portfolio" orderby="date"  limit="50" }
<div class="box col">
<a href="http://{title_permalink=webpage/details}class=details"><span class="fade"></span></a>
{thumb}
</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

When you click on one of the items it will take you to: details

{exp:channel:entries channel="portfolio" orderby="date" limit="1" sort="desc" }
<h1>{title}</h1>
{description}
<div class="tags">{tags}</div>
                                
{if link != ""}<a href="http://{link}%22class=%22visit" class="visit" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a>{/if}
</div><!-- /topcontent -->
<div class="content">{screenshoots}</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

and next/prev entry in: details

{exp:channel:next_entry}
<a href="http://{path=webpage/details}class=next"></a>
{/exp:channel:next_entry}

{exp:channel:prev_entry}
<a href="http://{path=webpage/details}class=back"></a>
{/exp:channel:prev_entry}

Solve the problem:

I did a separate template for each category and link to them from the homepage like this:

{categories}
{if category_id == "2"}
{title_permalink='webpage/experiments_details'}
{/if}
        
{if category_id == "1"}
{title_permalink='webpage/webdesign_details'}
{/if}

{/categories}

Took me few hours to figure out but I’m happy with the result.

One more thing please.

How do I get rid of the Template Group in Url ?

Glad you found a solution, Dorin!

The template group is a vital part of ExpressionEngine, especially for 404s.  You can leave it out when referencing the index template of the default template group (the one with the asterisk); but in general, we recommend always including the template group.

Does that help answer your question?
