Comments pagination

I have tried to add the pagination tags, but it did not work.

But, it was my mistake. I forgot to change <perch:content> to <perch:blog>

Thanks.

<perch:if exists="paging">
    <div class="paging">
        Comments <perch:blog id="current_page" type="hidden" />
            of <perch:blog id="number_of_pages" type="hidden" />
        <perch:if exists="not_first_page">
            <a href="<perch:blog id="prev_url" type="hidden" encode="false" />">Previous comments</a>
        </perch:if>
        <perch:blog id="page_links" encode="false" />
        <perch:if exists="not_last_page">
            <a href="<perch:blog id="next_url" type="hidden" encode="false" />">More comments</a>
        </perch:if>
    </div>
</perch:if>

I just realized that is goes to the next page of comments, and losing the blog post content. Is there something to be changed in the pagination tag?

Can you tell me what ID or url are you referring to? All info in my template is above. I been searching thread for hour for similar issue, with no luck. Thanks in advance

Hi Drew. This is a pagination to the blog comment,s. Imagine you have 50 comments in one single page. What I like to accomplish, is to have a blog comment pagination to click next and previous comments.

See the dev link below: stage.bergmedia dot co dot uk /blog/2017-10-21-blog-test

Thanks

Everything I have done so far is the one above. So can you guide me on how to achieve this?

I'm building my client network to change their CMS to Perch. I want to learn most of it before converting my clients to use your CMS.

Thanks in advance

Post slug, you mean the blog title?

/blog/2017-10-21-blog-test

after clicking: /blog/post.php?s=2017-10-21-blog-test&page=2

But the blog post is not showing

This is part of my post.php

<?php   PerchSystem::set_var('page_tags.html',
perch_blog_post_tags(perch_get('s'), [], true));
perch_blog_post(perch_get('s')); ?>

How to disable pagination on perch_blog_post?

Thanks Drew.

or set perch_blog_post_comments to use a different pagination-var option

The above is my chosen option. How can I achieve that?

Using this does not render the pagination-var value:

                <?php   perch_blog_post_comments(perch_get('s'), array(
                    'paginate' => true,
                    'count' => 2,
                    'template' => 'comment.html',
                     'sort-order' => 'DESC',
                     'page-links' => true,
                     'pagination-var' => 'comm',
                        ));
                    ?>

Using the custom does not display comment content

                    <?php
perch_blog_custom(array(
    'template' => 'comment.html',
'paginate' => true,
'count' => 2,
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'page-links' => true,
'pagination-var' => 'comm',
'page-link-template' => 'pagination/comments.html'
));
?>

The thing is, pagination is only enabled in comments. Setting pagination-var in perch_blog_post_comments is not working, it still points to &page=

This is a simple task and I cannot get it to work, and it's disappointing. Maybe you can have a look at my post.php below and see what i'm doing wrong. Thanks

            perch_blog_post_tags(perch_get('s'), [], true));
            perch_blog_post(perch_get('s')); ?>

            <?php   perch_blog_post_comments(perch_get('s'), array(
                    'template' => 'comment.html',
                    'paginate' => true,
                    'count' => 2,
                    'sort-order' => 'DESC',
                    'pagination-var' => 'comm',
                    ));
                ?>

    <!--* side column *-->
<div class="col-lg-4 col-md-4 lp-sidebar">

            <h2>Latest posts</h2>
            <?php
            perch_blog_custom(array(
                'count'      => 5,
                'paginate' => false,
                'template'   => 'custom/post_recent_list.html',
                'sort'       => 'postDateTime',
                'sort-order' => 'DESC',
                'filter' => 'postSlug',
                'hide-extensions' => true,
                'match' => 'neq',
                'value' => perch_get('s'),
                ));
            ?>
</aside>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php perch_layout('footer_standard_no_preview_scipt'); ?>

I tested this and I can confirm that perch_blog_post_comments() seems to ignore the pagination-var option and always uses the default ?page.

Since the pagination-var option works in perch_blog_custom(), change it to something other than the default page to achieve what Drew suggested; setting different pagination-vars for each one (your post and your comments).

// set pagination-var when displaying your post
perch_blog_custom([
    'filter' => 'postSlug',
    'match' => 'eq',
    'value' => perch_get('s'),
    'pagination-var' => 'anything',
]);

// pagination-var here is always the default 'page'
perch_blog_post_comments(perch_get('s'), [
    'template' => 'comment.html',
    'paginate' => true,
    'count' => 2,
    'sort-order' => 'DESC',
]);
