Add pagination links to the bottom of threads

[m3s]

Mabel, I just wanted to say thanks for this. A few of our members have been struggling to make the transition to the floating pagination.

This has worked like a charm and you explained it all really thoroughly and understandably.

Thanks very much.

Thanks for making that so easy to understand!
(Funny how everyone's finding it hard to get used to new ways) ;-)

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.

Where do I find 'Members', 'Conversations Page' and 'Show Conversation'?

A member asked if it's possible to show the pagination links at the bottom to show on the right

I tried this on my Test Board which worked OK

So thought I would share this...


On the Thread Template  - Above  {if !$[quick_reply]}{if $[bottom_reply_button]}

I added the line of code below

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


Then at the very bottom of the CSS Style Sheet (Themes -> Colors & Styles -> Style Sheet)

I added the code below

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


Works best if have QUICK REPLY Enabled

Hi, how can I have it so it looks like the same floating bar without the floating, search, etc features?

Thanks

Incredible. The first time I tried such advanced settings. It worked! Thx.
