Hello,

I am trying to create navigation for a video page. The template pulls from one blog, each blog post has a different video and metadata for each company in the video.

I am trying to create navigation for this page so you can sort through different companies.

I placed this code inside of the Templatate in between the weblog code and it does not work?

{exp:weblog:next_entry}

Next entry: {title}

{/exp:weblog:next_entry} {exp:weblog:prev_entry}

Previous entry: {title}

{/exp:weblog:prev_entry}

How else can I create navigation for a page that only has one single entry per page?

Any Ideas?

Thx, Tim

Ah- you’re running into two issues.  First- the next/prev nagivation should be outside of the weblog tags.  They’re independent.  But the bigger problem- they only work on single entry pages- those are pages that have a url title or an entry id in the url.  That ‘single entry’ indicator in the url is what allows the next/prev tag to know what page you’re currently on- and figure out what the next and prev. pages should be.

I personally prefer to use the single entry pages- with a url title or entry id in them- for this type of display.  The big advantage- the url won’t change.  Good for linking and SEO.

But there is another type of pagination- standard weblog tag pagination- that goes INSIDE the weblog tag.  This is most frequently used on multi-entry pages.  But if you put a limit=“1” in the weblog tag parameters?  It will display only a single entry- and it will work in the above situation.

Like I say- I’d probably change things up so that I’m actually doing this on a true single entry page- due to SEO and linking concerns.  But from a functional perspective- the second option will work the way you’ve got things setup now.

Make sense?
