Add pagination links to the bottom of threads

[Mabel Pines]

Some people have been pointing out the lack of pagination links at the bottom of threads in v5. This is because the top pagination bar now scrolls with the page, but unfortunately it can be a bit confusing for those who aren't used to it. This is how I added a secondary pagination bar on my forum/theme.



First, take this code and then go to edit the templates where you want to add the secondary pagination. (Themes -> Layout Templates)

<div class="secondary_pagination">$[pagination]</div>

You can place this code anywhere in the following templates - Thread, Board, Members, Conversations Page and Show Conversation. The following are the places where I put it on my forum.

Thread - Above $[quick_reply]
Board - Above {if $[board.id]}{if $[show_stats]}
Members - At the end of the template.
Conversations Page -  At the end of the template.
Show Conversation - Above $[quick_reply]



Now add this to the end of your CSS Style Sheet (Themes -> Colors & Styles -> Style Sheet) and then edit and style as needed.

.secondary_pagination { padding: 0 5px; margin-bottom: 10px; }



And feel free to change the name secondary_pagination to whatever you want, that's just the incredibly boring name I gave it on my forum.

Don't see why this wouldn't work, but once I've done a quick test I'll add it to the Index. =]

Hi Mabel Pines this is really good - I can't find the bit in Board you say to put it above though  Can you give me a suggestion where it might go? Here's my Board code:

{if $[board.sub_board_list]}

<div class="container boards">

<div class="title-bar"><h2>Sub-Boards</h2></div>

<div class="content cap-bottom">

$[board.sub_board_list]

</div>

</div>

{/if}

{if $[display_thread_list]}

<div{if $[viewing_bookmarks]} id="bookmarks"{/if} class="container threads">

<div class="title-bar">

{if $[create_thread_button]}

                <ul class="controls"><li><a role="button" href="$[create_thread_button.href]">Create Topic</a></li></ul>

            {/if}

<h1>$[board.display_name]</h1>

</div>

<div class="control-bar ui-helper-clearfix $[scroll_class]">

$[search]

<div class="controls">

$[selection_menu]

$[action_menu]

</div>

$[pagination]

</div>

<div class="content cap-bottom">

<table class="list">

<thead>

<tr class="head">

<th class="icon"><span class="aria-hidden">Status</span>&nbsp;</th>

<th class="checkbox">&nbsp;</th>

<th class="main">Subject</th>

<th class="created-by">Created By</th>

<th class="replies">Replies</th>

<th class="views">Views</th>

<th class="latest last">Last Post</th>

</tr>

</thead>

<tbody class="$[list_class]">

$[thread_list]

</tbody>

</table>

</div>

</div>

{/if}

{if $[thread_count] > 0}

{if $[legend]}

<div class="container legend">

<div class="title-bar"><h2>Legend</h2></div>

<div class="content">

<table>

<tr>

{foreach $[legend]}

<td>$[legend.icon] <span>$[legend.name]</span></td>

{/foreach}

</tr>

</table>

</div>

</div>

{/if}

{/if}

Oopsies, I forgot that I removed the legend on my board. Try putting it above this code.

{if $[thread_count] > 0}
    {if $[legend]}
