Change Log

v1.1.0

  • added {pagination_base_url} variable

v1.0.9

  • added {if in_group(1|2|3)} and {if not_in_group(1|2|3)} conditionals

v1.0.8

  • changed hooks used from sessions_end to template_fetch_template, thereby changing EE version requirement to 2.4+
  • added opposites to all conditional variables: {if not_paginated}, {if not_ajax}, {if not_archive}, {if not_daily_archive}, {if not_monthy_archive}, {if not_yearly_archive}, {if not_secure}

	jQuery(document).ready(function($){
		$("p#pagination a").live("click", function(event){
			event.preventDefault();
			$("body").load($(this).attr("href"));
			return false;
		});
	});
	</script>
	</head>
	<body>
{/if}

{exp:channel:entries channel="products"}

	{paginate}
	
	<p id="pagination">Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages {pagination_links}</p>
	
	{/paginate}

{/exp:channel:entries}

{if not_ajax}
	{embed="_globals/footer"}
