NAME

Posy::Plugin::Paginate - Posy plugin to paginate multiple entries.

VERSION

This describes version 0.10 of Posy::Plugin::Paginate.

SYNOPSIS

    @plugins = qw(Posy::Core
	...
	Posy::Plugin::Paginate
	...
	));
    @actions = qw(init_params
	    ...
	    select_by_path
	    filter_by_date
	    sort_entries
	    filter_by_page
	    ...
	);

DESCRIPTION

This plugin enables categories or chronological listsing with multiple entries in them, to be broken up into a number of pages, with previous and next links. Page length is defined by the 'num_entries' configuration setting; it will select entries depending on the 'page' parameter.

This provides the following variables that can be used within your flavour files.

Contains a link to the previous page, and is empty if this link is not valid.

Contains a link to the next page, and is empty if this link is not valid.

Activation

This plugin needs to be added to both the plugins list and the actions list.

In the actions list, 'filter_by_page' needs to go somewhere after sort_entries and before head_render, since the entries need to have been sorted, and the selection needs to be done before the head template is rendered, so that links could be put in the head part of the page if required.

Configuration

This expects configuration settings in the $self->{config} hash, which, in the default Posy setup, can be defined in the main "config" file in the config directory.

paginate_prev_label

The label for the "prev" link. (default: '<<- prev')

paginate_next_label

The label for the "next" link. (default: 'next ->>')

OBJECT METHODS
