This is probably a newbie question...
I have a blog of fifty entries, and I want to be able to have people click through them using previous/next links, but I also want people to have random access to all of them in a sidebar menu.
I have a standard pagination tag pair:
{paginate}
<p style="text-align:right"> {if previous_page}
<a href="{auto_path}">Previous Page</a>
{/if}
{if next_page}
<a href="{auto_path}">Next Page</a>
{/if}
</p>
{/paginate}
inside a standard channel entries pair:
{exp:channel:entries channel="md" limit="1" disable="member_data" orderby="author_last" sort="asc" paginate="top" } ...
And it works--but only because I start the series with a hard-coded link to a 'P1' pagination style link.
However, I also have a full menu of all entries in a sidebar using the channel entries tag and urls thusly:
{exp:channel:entries channel="md" orderby="author_last" sort="asc" disable="member_data" dynamic="no" }
<p>{author_last}: <a href="{url_title_path="md/post"}">{title}</a></p>...
With the result that if a person clicks on any of the entries from the sidebar menu, pagination links disappear.
Is there any way to have it both ways?
thanks
