Adding previous and next links to the modules detail pages

  Previous article Next article  

This tutorial demonstrates the power and simplicity of Smarty template code by using it to add previous and next buttons to the CMS Made Simple™ News module without any UDT.

  How to use

Create a new News summary template, named "prev_next_links", with the content:

{foreach from=$items item=the_entry}
  {capture append='allIDs'}{$the_entry->id}{/capture}
  {capture append='allURLs'}{$the_entry->moreurl}{/capture}
{/foreach}

{foreach from=$allIDs item=someID name=findmyID}
  {if $currentID == $someID}{$currentkey = $smarty.foreach.findmyID.index}{/if}
{/foreach}

<p class="next-button">
  {$nextkey = $currentkey+1}
  {if isset($allURLs[$nextkey])}
    <a href="{$allURLs[$nextkey]}">Next article</a>&nbsp;&gt;
  {/if}
</p>

<p class="prev-button">
  {$prevkey = $currentkey-1}
  {if isset($allURLs[$prevkey])}
    &lt;&nbsp;<a href="{$allURLs[$prevkey]}">Previous article</a>
  {/if}
</p>

In the detail template of the module you should add these lines at the spot you want to have the buttons in the template:

{$currentID = $entry->id scope=global}
{News summarytemplate='prev_next_links'}
