Displaying two channel entries tags, one with pagination

Hi,

So i’m trying to display a featured entry and then beneath that I want to display all other entries with pagination.

My ‘featured entry’ displays fine, but I can’t seem to get the other entries with pagination to display at all.

Here is my code;

<h3>Featured Case Study</h3>
<p>{exp:channel:entries channel="case_studies" status="featured" limit="1" dynamic="off"}</p>

<p> {title}</p>

<p>{/exp:channel:entries}</p>

<h3>All Case Studies</h3>
<p>{exp:channel:entries channel="case_studies" status="open" limit="9" paginate="both"}<br />
  {paginate}<br />
 {pagination_links}<br />
 <div class="pagination"><br />
  <ul><br />
   {previous_page}<br />
   <li><a href="http://{pagination_url}" class="first page-previous">Previous page</a></li><li>//</li><br />
   {/previous_page}<br />
   <br />
   {page}<br />
   <li><a href="http://{pagination_url}" class="page-{pagination_page_number} {if current_page}active{/if}">Page {pagination_page_number}</a></li><li>//</li><br />
   {/page}<br />
   <br />
   {next_page}<br />
   <li><a href="http://{pagination_url}" class="last page-next">Next page</a></li><br />
   {/next_page}<br />
  </ul><br />
 </div><br />
 {/pagination_links}<br />
 {/paginate}</p>

<p> {title}</p>

<p>{/exp:channel:entries}

Any help with this would be much appreciated. I obviously need the ‘All Case Studies’ to be dynamic for the pagination to work when the entries do finally display.

The Case Studies page is a Structure managed page at the URI /about-us/case-studies/, which has the about-us/case-studies template assigned to it. This contains the code above.

Hi Neil,

Actually? You need dynamic=“no” in your second channel entries tag pair. The addition of the paginate= parameter allows channel entries to “do both” so to speak.

At least, we need to start with this. I’ve not dealt with pagination and Structure, so I’m not entirely sure the effect that might have.

I look forward to your reply!

Cheers,

Hey Dan, so I would remove dynamic from the first tag pair, add dynamic=“no” to the second channel entries tag pair?

I’ve changed the template but now no entries are displaying. :/

I was under the impression that pagination could not work if dynamic was disabled.

Hmm, this is driving me a bit crazy now.

Here’s the revised code I am using;

{embed="_layouts/index"}

{exp:switchee variable="{segment_3}" parse="inward"}

 {!-- Case Studies listing --}{!-- Case Studies listing at /about-us/case-studies/ : match pagination, or nothing in segment 3 --}
 {case value="#^P(\\\\d+)$#|''"}

  {exp:stash:set name="content"}

   <h3>Featured</h3>
<p>   {exp:channel:entries channel="case_studies" status="featured" limit="1" dynamic="no"}</p>

<p>   {title}</p>

<p>   {/exp:channel:entries}</p>

<p>  </p><h3>Open</h3>
<p>   {exp:channel:entries channel="case_studies" status="open" limit="9" dynamic="no" paginate="both"}</p>

<p>      {paginate}<br />
     {pagination_links}<br />
     <div class="pagination"><br />
      <ul><br />
          {previous_page}<br />
          <li><a href="http://{pagination_url}" class="first page-previous">Previous page</a></li><li>//</li><br />
          {/previous_page}</p>

<p>          {page}<br />
          <li><a href="http://{pagination_url}" class="page-{pagination_page_number} {if current_page}active{/if}">Page {pagination_page_number}</a></li><li>//</li><br />
          {/page}</p>

<p>          {next_page}<br />
          <li><a href="http://{pagination_url}" class="last page-next">Next page</a></li><br />
          {/next_page}<br />
         </ul><br />
     </div><br />
     {/pagination_links}<br />
     {/paginate}</p>

<p>   {title}</p>

<p>   {/exp:channel:entries}</p>

<p>  {/exp:stash:set}</p>

<p> {/case}</p>

<p>{/exp:switchee}

It correctly shows the featured case study and the Open case studies, along with the pagination. But when I paginate through the results, the entries don’t change.

Got a solution now. I had to set the Channel URL and also in Admin > Channel Administration > Global Preferences set the Cache Dynamic Channel Queries? to No.
