    Limit products displayed per page

    Hi,

    I have followed the KB article to split my pages holding the same type of product in to pages of 20 per page. I can get the Next and previous links to appear but iam struggling with the following.

    1. In the next level up holding the menu for that section I wish the link to page 1 to be displayed not say links to page 1, page 2, page 3, etc.

    2. I then need links to previous and next section only at that level, not above or below that.

    3. I would like the prev next links and in between links to each page at that level i.e. Previous 1 2 3 4 5 Next

    Although the KB gives you an idea it does not hold this level of detail. Any help appreciated.

    Regards,

    Nigel

    You can do it, but it needs to be manually coded, like on here - http://www.atlanticshopping.co.uk/ac...ols_Page1.html - actinic will only give you next and previous links, it has no idea on the page numbers as standard.

      Hi,

      Thanks for the reply. Thats exactly what I want, but I am sure there must be a way of only displaying the links in that section, only at the same level. The trick is how do you change what would be the page names displayed as links in to page numbers as links.

      Regards,

        Here's another simple implementation here:
        http://www.kjbeckett.com/acatalog/le...allets_p3.html

        There are some variables set at each section to allow a bit of local PHP to create the code for the links but it is still somewhat manually derived.

            The section name could be the actual numbers, the page names are what need to be different. You could run a block on the child section list of the section you are in i'd imagine. You are going to need to have very good html, css, actinic and possibly php knowledge. If you haven't got those, then you will probably need to farm the work out.

            You'll have done incredibly well if someone takes the time out to explain and code it for you on here, it's rather complex if you have no knowledge in this area.

              As Lee says this is not trivial for someone without a bit more advanced html, css and php skills. It's not something that really be given in detail here but here's the gist of my method.

              There are variables at section level for the base section name and also for the number of sections. The section page name's page number is appended to the base section name using php. The rest is just tests to check which page you are on to set the css style and alt tags etc.

                  Hi,

                  Ok forget the page numbers at the moment. How do I display a list of same level section links above the product list of that page.

                  I cannot seem to get a navigation menu and products to appear on the same page.

                  PS I am experienced with HTML, CSS and some PHP, its Actinic I need to get my head around.

                  Regards,

                  Nigel

                    Using a Block and the child section list. You'll need to add it into either your outer layout or your list layout, dependent on where you want it to show. Use blockifs and variables to control how and where it shows.
