Prev/Next at product level?

[4children2enjoy]

I have always provided Prev/Next options on each page at section level, and would also like to provide Prev/Next options on each extended info page at product level, as I am using "Opens in same window" for my extended info pages.

However, there don't seem to be ProductPageNamePrev and ProductPageNameNext variables equivalent to the SectionPageNamePrev and SectionPageNameNext variables.

Actinic must maintain information about previous and next product pages, as it uses that data to sequence products in the content tree. Is there any way I can gain access to this data via Actinic variables?

I would prefer not to have to export the data as a hierarchical tree, calculate prev/next products external to Actinic, and re-import it.

You may be able to use the list index and list count, these are variables for how many are in a list and which number in the list it is. Although i reckon this is a good time for you to scrap extended info pages, it's the poor mans way of doing SPP setup and results in a catalog that runs considerably slower. I'd strongly recommend scrapping extended info pages and moving onto SPP setup with one product per section.

Many thanks for your prompt and helpful reply. I agree your suggestion would resolve my prev/next problem, but I am reluctant at this stage to give up multi-product sections. I find they make adding and changing products quick and easy, as long as external product links are used.

Does anyone have any alternative suggestions as to how to resolve my prev/next problem at product level?

Thanks.

the variable ProductSequence is the order in which products are sequenced within a section. Starts at zero. You should be able to build something using that as a base...

Just to confirm, using a combination of ProductSequence, and ListIndex within a product list, resolves the problem.

Many thanks to both of you for your help.
