I am using a weblog:entries tag to pull in a page created via the (EE native 1.6) Pages module, and display it on a single entry page:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="static" require_entry="yes" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
{static_text1}
{!--{if static_pageorder != ""}{embed="includes/pages_localnav" section="{static_section}" subsection="{static_nav}" pageorder="{static_pageorder}"}{/if}--}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

The commented code above pulls in this embedded template:

<ul>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="static" dynamic="off" orderby="static_pageorder" sort="asc" limit="3" static_section="{embed:section}" static_nav="{embed:subsection}" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}
{if static_pageorder != "{embed:pageorder}"}{if static_pageorder < {embed:pageorder}}{count}<li>Previous: <a href="http://{page_url}">{title}</a></li>{/if}{if static_pageorder > {embed:pageorder}}<li>{count}Next: <a href="http://{page_url}">{title}</a></li>{/if}{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</ul>

NB: static_pageorder, static_section, and static_nav are all custom fields designed to enable the pages created to be added to sub-navigation in a specified order.

Of-course, the links that get output to the page are sometimes wrong because the embedded template does not ‘know’ what the current entry is, so sometimes it displays :

Previous: blah blah
Previous: something else

Instead of the desired result:

Previous: something else
Next: another thing

I am probably not explaining myself very well, but what I am trying to achieve is pagination within the pages created using the Pages module. I have tried to use EE’s pagination but it does not display anything (yes, I made sure pagination was not disabled (as it is in the code above)). Am I doing something wrong (likely) or is this impossible with Pages module?

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Have you tried this in a reduced template without conditionals?  You’re making several jumps here.  Try a simple weblog entries page, with show_pages=“only” and pagination. It should work.
