Hey guys, I’m going to close comments on this post now, if you want to continue the discussion then please head over to this Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/wp-proper-pagination-plugin

I think it will be easier to handle the type of discussion that’s evolving around this plugin over there.

Thanks for your interest. :)

Hey zietguest. I like your pagnation setup! What is the template tags or php code you use in your template? I’m still learning the details of php…thanks!

Here is the html I used to achieve the pagination effect on http://ilovetypography.com HTML:

AND THE CSS


#pagination { margin-bottom:20px; clear:both; width:640px; height:30px; }
#pagination ul { border:0; padding:0; margin:0; clear:both; }
#pagination li { border:0; margin:0; padding:0; font-size:11px; list-style:none; margin-right:2px; }
#pagination li a { border:solid 1px #9aafe5; margin-right:2px; }
#pagination .previous-off,#pagination .next-off { border:solid 1px #DEDEDE; color:#888888; display:block; float:left; font-weight:bold; margin-right:2px; padding:3px 4px; }
#pagination .next a,#pagination .previous a { font-weight:bold; }
#pagination .active { background:#2e6ab1; color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:bold; display:block; float:left; padding:4px 6px; }
#pagination li a:link,#pagination a:visited { color:#0e509e; display:block; float:left; padding:3px 6px; text-decoration:none; }
#pagination li a:hover { border:solid 1px #0e509e; }

Thanks this is a great plugin and should come as standard on wordpress

Thanks great plug in.

I adapted it a bit so that could add “Current page of Last Page” to the loop.

/**
* For use in the pagination loop, echos the last page
*/
function the_last_page() {
echo $this->max_pages;
}

// pp_the_last_page if (!function_exists('pp_the_last_page')) { function pp_the_last_page() { global $pp;

return $pp->the_last_page(); } }

Hi Krystal, yes this should be possible, I’ve put a code snippet on pastebin showing how this _should_ work: http://php.pastebin.com/ffe9af6

Although I’ve not tested it myself, this should hopefully give you an idea!

I’m working on a project where I want to display a summary of other page content along (at the bottom) with the actual content of that page. I use a WP_Query to get those extra content at the bottom. I want to create a pagination for those summary content but I didn’t seen to be able to with your plugin. So I’m wondering if there’s any way I can do so?

Thanks for the suggestion Mark, I’ve submitted the plugin to the official repository, just waiting for it to be approved now!

Good luck with the project!

Hey guys,

Great plugin – going to play with it later on a project I’m working on. Only thing I would add, if you haven’t already is you should put in the Plugin repository, we had great feedback within blog posts when we did this with a simple plugin developed at ribot.

Cheers again.

Mark
