First you need to install cgsimplesmarty and i would choose to make these Global Content Blocks

Previous link

Code: Select all

{$cgsimple->get_sibling("prev","prev_sibling")}

{* check there is a previous sibling *}
{if !empty($prev_sibling)}

	{$cgsimple->has_children($prev_sibling, 'prev_has_children')}
	
	{* check previous sibling has a child then retrieve last child *}
	
	{if !empty($prev_has_children)}
		{$cgsimple->get_children($prev_sibling, true, "prev_get_children")}
		
		{capture assign="prevLastChild"}{$prev_get_children|@count}{/capture}
		
		 {capture assign="prevArrayLast"}{math equation="x - 1" x=$prevLastChild}{/capture}
		
		{capture assign="prevGotChild"}{$prev_get_children[$prevArrayLast].alias}{/capture}
		
		{capture assign="prevGotChildTitle"}{$prev_get_children[$prevArrayLast].title}{/capture}
		
		{cms_selflink page="$prevGotChild" text="Prev"}
	
	{else}
	{* Just show previous link as there are no children *}
		{if !empty($prev_sibling)}
		{cms_selflink page="$prev_sibling" text="$prevGotChildTitle"}
		{/if}
	
	{/if}
{else}
		{$cgsimple->get_parent_alias("","prev_parent_alias")}
		{if !empty($prev_parent_alias)}
		{$cgsimple->get_page_title($prev_parent_alias, 'prev_parent_title')}
		{cms_selflink page="$prev_parent_alias" text="$prev_parent_title"}{/if}
{/if}	

Next link

Code: Select all

{$cgsimple->has_children('', 'has_children')}

{if !empty($has_children)}

	{$cgsimple->get_children("",true, "get_children")}
	{capture assign="gotChild"}{$get_children[0].alias}{/capture}
	{capture assign="gotChildTitle"}{$get_children[0].title}{/capture}
	{cms_selflink page="$gotChild" text="$gotChildTitle"}
	
{else}

	{$cgsimple->get_sibling("next","next_sibling")}
	{if !empty($next_sibling)}
	{cms_selflink page="$next_sibling" text="Next"}{/if}
	
{/if}
