CGCalendar pastlist with next/previous links?

[beattie]

Is there a way to add next and prev links to a list of past events? If I limit the number of events to 10 there is no way to see the previous events. If I don't limit the number of events then the page gets very long and keeps getting longer.... see here for example of page: http://www.stjohnscathedral.com.au/events/past-events.html

I am using CMS 1.8.2 with CGCalendar 1.5.2 and the list template I am using is below:

Code: Select all

<div>



{assign var='private_events' value='|'|explode:'Wedding|Baptism|Funeral'} {* category list of private event *}
{assign var='label_private_event' value='(private event, by invitation only)'} {* private event label *}

	{if isset($navigation)}
			{capture assign='cgcal_nav_tail'}{'&amp'};{$actionid}listtemplate={$smarty.template|replace:'module_db_tpl:CGCalendar;list_':''}{/capture}
			{capture assign='cgcalendar_nav'}
			<div style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(240, 240, 240); padding: 0pt 8px 8px; position: relative; margin-top: 8px;">

			

			{* month navigation *}
			<div style="display: block; margin: auto; width: 85%; text-align: center;">
				<span style="color: #e11831;font-size:11px;text-transform:uppercase;">
				{section name='month_navigation' start='1' loop='13'}
					{assign var='month_name_short' value='2010-%s-01 00:00:00'|sprintf:$smarty.section.month_navigation.iteration|date_format:'%b'}
					{if $month!=$smarty.section.month_navigation.iteration}
						<a style="color:#60553d;text-decoration:none" href="{module_action_link module='CGCalendar'  urlonly='1' year=$year month=$smarty.section.month_navigation.iteration display='list' eventtemplate='event'  listtemplate='list' use_session='1' }
							">{$month_name_short}</a>
					{else}
						{$month_name_short}
					{/if}
					{if !$smarty.section.month_navigation.last} | {/if}
					{/section}
				</span>
			</div>
			{* end month navigation *}

			
			</div>
			{/capture}
			{$cgcalendar_nav}
	{/if}

<p style="padding-top:20px"> </p>
{if !empty($events)}
{foreach from=$events key=key item=event}
  <div>

			{if isset($navigation)}
				{$cgcalendar_nav}

{if $return_url != ""}
  <div class="calendar-returnlink" style="clear:both;padding-top:25px">{$return_url}</div>
{/if}
</div>

This is the code on the past list page:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="CGCalendar" display="pastlist" inline="1" reverse="true"}

I have searched the forum but can't find an answer to this particular problem, maybe I am missing something simple. The prev/next navigation code for the standard list template doesn't work for the upcoming or past list template.

Many thanks for any suggestions!

I've been trying to solve this one too.
(don't know how good your dutch is: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... #msg197869)

Turned out there is (or: was at that time) no feature in CGCalendar to make prev/next links. My goal was to make something which worked like '"if" more then 10 items "then" create new page'

I got the tip to look into the Smarty Paginate function: http://www.phpinsider.com/php/code/SmartyPaginate/

Unfortunately I've not had the time to look into it (or maybe I did not need it that bad at that time)
But maybe it could help you?

Bump. Beattie's event page is even longer now.

Wondering if anyone has a solution for this now?

Basically to show the CGCalendar pastlist but with n events per page, stepping back in time for each page.

[calguy1000]

there is still no pagination on the pastlist stuff

for efficiency I would either break out of the loop after N events or use some filtering to break after the loop after N months worth of events or something.
