Two channel entries loops on one page, both with pagination

Question

I am having some issues with pagination.

I have two channel entries loops on one template, both of which have pagination enabled.

One of the loops works fine but the second one, I guess is conflicting.

For example.. the second loop is duplicating the pagination segments in the url

domain.com/P1/P2 etc..

(I am also using this from Aaron Bushnell)

Is it even possible to work them independently on one template? Thanks!!

Answer 1

Try wrapping each channel entries and each pagination in a conditional. If the pagination layout is identical for each channel entry section then you can throw it in a snippet. It might look something like this:

{if segment_2 == "pancakes"}
{exp:channel:entries channel="pancakes"}
    {title}
    {sn-pagination}
{/exp:channel:entries}

{if:elseif segment_2 == "waffles"}
{exp:channel:entries channel="waffles"}
    {title}
    {sn-pagination}
{/exp:channel:entries}
{/if}

Answer 2

I would do the same as Stuart McCoy, but performance wise it's better to use switchee instead of the native advanced conditionals.

{exp:switchee variable = "{segment_2}" parse="inward"}

{case value="pancakes"}
    {exp:channel:entries channel="pancakes" dynamic="off"}
      {title}
      {sn-pagination}
    {/exp:channel:entries}
{/case}

{case value="waffles" default="Yes"}
    {exp:channel:entries channel="waffles" dynamic="off"}
      {title}
      {sn-pagination}
    {/exp:channel:entries}
{/case}

{/exp:switchee}

don't forget to add the dynamic="off" param!
