Tags¶
AB Pagination will make a bunch of additional conditionals and variables available inside the {paginate} tag pair that resides inside the {exp:channel:entries} tag.
Variables¶
On each page these variables are available:
| Variable | Explanation |
|---|---|
| {abp_pages} | this is a tag pair loop with the links and in many cases the only thing you’ll use. If so, skip to the description below. |
| {abp_first_link} | the link to the first page |
| {abp_last_link} | the link to the last page |
| {abp_total_pages} | the total number of pages |
| {abp_entry_from} | the start entry number on the current page |
| {abp_entry_to} | the last entry number on the current page |
| {abp_total_entries} | the total number of entries |
| {abp_per_page} | the number of entries per page |
| {abp_current_page_num} | the current page number, starting on 0 (zero-based indexing) |
| {abp_current_page_num_liber} | the current page number, starting on 1 |
| {abp_previous_page_num} | the previous page number (zero-based indexing) |
| {abp_previous_link} | the link to the previous page |
| {abp_next_page_num} | the page number of the next page (zero-based indexing) |
| {abp_next_link} | the link to the next page |
| {abp_query_string} | contain the query strings, if any (for this to work config param enable_query_strings in EE must be set to TRUE) |
Conditionals¶
On each page these conditionals are available:
- {if abp_has_previous} - does this page have a previous page? (if not, we’re on the first)
- {if abp_has_next} - does the current page have a next page? (if not, we’re on the last)
- {if abp_last_page_not_linked} - true if the last page is not linked in the {abp_pages} loop (yes, this can actually come handy in some cases)
The {ab_pages} tag pair¶
The {abp_pages} tag pair has its own set of variables and conditionals, and since this is the most important tag it gets its own section here in the documentation.
{abp_pages} Parameters¶
- padding - optional, defaults to 3. If you do not want padding, set this to “no”
- padding_left - optional, padding on the left side of the current page
- padding_right - optional, padding on the right side of the current page
- initial_size - optional, sets the initial number of pagelinks to show (by default the padding will decide this)
- fixed_size - optional, sets a fixed number of pagelinks to show (this will override all other settings, ie. padding and initial_size .. so just use like this: {abp_pages fixed_size=”5”} )
- {abp_pages} Variables
- {abp_link} - the link to the page
- {abp_num} - the page number of the page (zero based)
- {abp_previous_link} - the link to the previous page (empty if none)
- {abp_previous_num} - the page number of the previous page (zero based)
- {abp_next_link} - the link to the next page (empty if none)
- {abp_next_num} - the page number of the next page (zero based)
{abp_pages} Conditionals¶
- {if abp_is_current} - true if the current page in the loop is the current page
- {if abp_is_last_page} - true if the current page in the loop is the last page
- {if abp_is_first_page} - true if the current page in the loop is the first page
- {if abp_has_previous} - true if the current page in the loop has a previous page
- {if abp_has_next} - true if the current page in the loop has a next page
