prev_url not working
Hello,
I've just added pagination to a perch_collection, using the standard pagination snippet. It seems like quite a few other people, I have run into the issue of prev_url
not working.
next_url
works fine, but prev_url
does not.
If I output <perch:showall />
then prev_url
shows as blank
My issue is pretty much identical to this one, which was never solved: https://forum.grabaperch.com/forum/02-04-2015-pagination-previous-link-not-working
I am up to date on Perch Runway version 3.0.8, PHP 7.0.8 is up to date, MySQL 5.5.42 is up to date I'm not using any routing or anything fancy; just Runway out of the box.
Here is my code just in case it helps:
<?php perch_collection('Galleries', [
'count' => 4,
'paginate' => true,
'template' => 'galleries/gallery_listing.html',
]); ?>
I'm using the standard pagination template as follows:
<perch:after>
<perch:if exists="paging">
<div class="paging">
Page <perch:content id="current_page" type="hidden" />
of <perch:content id="number_of_pages" type="hidden" />
<perch:if exists="not_first_page">
<a href="<perch:content id="prev_url" type="hidden" encode="false" />">Previous</a>
</perch:if>
<perch:content id="page_links" encode="false" />
<perch:if exists="not_last_page">
<a href="<perch:content id="next_url" type="hidden" encode="false" />">Next</a>
</perch:if>
</div>
</perch:if>
</perch:after>
Routing isn't fancy - it's a basic feature of the software you're using. Does the pagination work if the page is correctly routed?
Hmm yes actually.
I haven't used routing before now, instead I've just placed the file in the root as I used to with standard perch. It seems like the file needs to run through the front-controller pattern for pagination to work i.e. it needs to be a master template.
