Overview

Display page navigation widgets and information for article list pages. (Inspired by rsx_page_number, an old plugin from Txp’s early days.)

Version 0.3.0 includes a Textpack to localize pre-formatted text output such as “Page {current} of {total}”. Currently includes 21 languages.

NB: Version 0.4.0 did away with the requirement for an external library plugin, but by moving to native Txp URI handling this changed behavior on sites with custom URI schemes. 0.4.1 restores that behavior. Note that the p (image ID) query parameter is not preserved; this is intentional.

Note: If you have more than one pagination-capable tag on the page (article if not status="sticky", or any of images, file_download_list, or linklist if both limit and pageby are set) soo_page_numbers will take its values from the first such tag. This is true no matter where you put any soo_page_numbers tags.

Tags

soo_page_links

Display a “Google-style” page navigation widget, i.e., a group of numbered links representing pages.

<txp:soo_page_links />

Attributes

• placeholder (text) default …
  Text to place on either end of the central page range (when there are many pages)
• window_size (integer) default 5
  Size of central page range
• showalways (boolean) default 0
  Whether or not to show anything when the list is a single page
• active_class (HTML class) default here
  Class for the current page number’s tag (the break tag, if any, otherwise span)
• wraptag (text) default empty
  HTML tag name (no brackets) to wrap the output
• class (text) default empty
  HTML class name for the wraptag.
• html_id (text) default empty
  HTML id for the wraptag.
• break (mixed) default empty
  HTML tag name (no brackets) to wrap or text to place between adjacent page numbers. If wraptag and break are set, break is assumed to be a tag name. Otherwise it is treated as text (so don’t use break="br").

soo_page_count

<txp:soo_page_count />

Attributes

• format (format string) default @ “{prev} Page {current} of {total} {next}” @
  Tag will output this string (in your language, if among the 21 included) after replacing {prev}, {next}, {first}, and {last} with links, and {current} and {total} with page numbers
• prev (text) default « («)
  Link text for the {prev} link
• next (text) default » (»)
  Link text for the {next} link
• first (text) default |« (|«)
  Link text for the {first} link
• last (text) default »| (»|)
  Link text for the {last} link
• showalways (boolean) default 0
  Whether or not to show {prev} and {next} on the first and last pages, respectively, or anything at all when the list is a single page
• wraptag (XHTML tag name, no brackets) optional tag to wrap the output

soo_prev_page, soo_next_page

Shortcuts for soo_page_count when all you want is a single link. For example, soo_prev_page is a shortcut for <txp:soo_page_count format="{prev}" />.

Attributes

In addition to soo_page_count attributes, each of these tags also accepts a text attribute for setting the link text. The following tags are equivalent:

<txp:soo_next_page text="Next" />
<txp:soo_page_count format="{next}" next="Next" />

Version History

0.4.2 (2020-03-09)

• Fixed longstanding bug that used to be harmless but turned lethal in Txp 4.8.0

0.4.1 (2017-03-10)

• New URI handling algorithm, reverting to version 0.3 behavior, but as a freestanding plugin

0.4.0 (2017-03-04)

• Refactored to eliminate the requirement for an external library plugin. (NB: this means, inter alia, that the p (image ID) query parameter is no longer preserved in page links.)

0.3.2 (2017-02-15)

• Textpattern 4.6 compatibility update

0.3.1 (2012-01-27)

• soo_page_count (hence also soo_prev_page and soo_next_page) now preserve non-Txp query params for “next” and “prev” links.

0.3.0 (2011-01-18)

• Plugin now includes a Textpack to localize pre-formatted text output such as “Page {current} of {total}”. Currently includes 21 languages.

0.2.7 (2010-02-11)

• Fixed Textpattern notice about non-existent attribute when using soo_prev_page or soo_next_page (functionality not affected)

0.2.6 (2009-11-23)

• soo_page_links now restores the 'pg' query parameter to its initial state, to avoid conflicts with other context-dependent plugins

0.2.5 (2009-10-21)

• New attributes and shortcut tags for soo_page_count

0.2.4 (2009-07-16)

• Fixed showalways bug when an article list returns 0 pages (e.g. empty category)

0.2.3 (2009-07-09)

• Improved context check to prevent raw tag output

0.2.2 (2009-07-09)

• When both wraptag and break are set, non-linked text items (i.e., current page number or placeholder text) are no longer wrapped in span tags, and active_class is applied to the break element containing the current page number.
• Both tags now do a context check and show nothing if the page is not an article list

0.2.1 (2009-07-07)

• Changed file name and one tag name
• The showalways attribute of soo_page_count now also affects output when the article list is only one page
• soo_page_links has also been given the showalways attribute
• Scrapped soo_article_count, which was inherently buggy (as is the rsx_to_of it was based on)

0.2 (2009-05-22)

Not publicly released. Code overhaul, fixed to work with any query string

0.1 (ages ago)

Not publicly released, not very good either, just a sorry hack of what was probably a quick one-off plugin to begin with (it was early days for Txp).
