Hello,

I am trying to add “Previous Page|Next Page” navigation to the category pages of my photo gallery. I used the gallery module to create it. Each category page has up to 8 thumbnails that link to detail pages for each product. Some of my categories have as many as 30 products, so I want to be able to navigate from page to page.

I inserted the code below, but I can’t seem to get it to work. The links appear, but go nowhere. I would also like to add “page—of (total pages)

{paginate}

{if previous_page}
Previous Page  
{/if}

{if next_page}
Next Page
{/if}

{/paginate}

thank you

I just tested on the current build of EE 1.6.2 and I can confirm that pagination will work on gallery category pages.  Perhaps you might give us an example of the link that is not working?  And it would not be a bad idea if you could give us the full tag, perhaps scaled down to only the barest necessities so we can try to reproduce the problem.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for responding.

I think I got it working. Perhaps you can help me to understand how.

I moved the pagination code into a different set of tags.

For example, at first I had it within the tags below:

{exp:gallery:entries gallery="{gallery_name}” orderby=“date” sort=“desc” columns=“4” rows=“2”}

{/exp:gallery:entries}

When I placed it in between the following tags, it worked.

{exp:gallery:entries gallery="{gallery_name}” limit=“8” orderby=“date” paginate=“top”}

{/exp:gallery:entries}

Does this have to do with the parameters? Or, does the pagination code have to be inside the same tags that the thumbnail rows code is?

thanks

As my test used the columns=”” and rows=”” parameters, I do not think it was the parameters even without checking the code.  Something you were doing was either making EE not see the pagination variable pair or think pagination was not needed, so I am not sure.  Good to see that it is working though.

Thanks again.

For example, at first I had it within the tags below:

{exp:gallery:entries gallery="{gallery_name}" orderby="date" sort="desc" columns="4" rows="2"}

{/exp:gallery:entries}

When I placed it in between the following tags, it worked.

{exp:gallery:entries gallery="{gallery_name}" limit="8" orderby="date" paginate="top"}

{/exp:gallery:entries}

the first example doesn’t have the parameter paginate=”“ specified. The second does. I believe that’s why it works for the second and not the first.
