Pagination

(@kmaier)

The code below pulls in the specific articles from the category I want along with a specified amount. how do i pull the pagination below the articles? i have it set to display 4 but i am thinking there will be over 20 or so and it would be nice to cycle through instead of having a long list.

<ul id="news">

<?php $temp_query = $wp_query; ?>
<?php query_posts("category_name='hot-off-the-plate'&showposts=4"); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<li>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<?php  $pdfLink = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdf_link', true);
	if ( !empty($pdfLink) ) echo '' ?>

<div class="pdf_download"><a href="<?php echo $pdfLink ?>" target="_blank"><img src="/wp-content/themes/blau/style/images/pdf_bttn.gif" width="41" height="37" alt="" /></a>
</div>

<div class="thmb">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
</div>
<?php the_title('<h4>', '</h4>'); ?>

<p><strong> - </strong></p>
<p><strong><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>, </strong></p>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<!--<p><a href="<?php /*the_permalink();*/ ?>">Read Full Story >></a></p>-->

</div>

</li>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</ul>

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('category_name=hot-off-the-plate&posts_per_page=4&paged=' $paged); ?>

Are you sure that category name is correct? That looks more like the category slug to me…

yes, you are right it pulls from the slug.

i tried that code but i get an error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /nfs/c07/h04/mnt/106463/domains/dev.elizabethblau.com/html/wp-content/themes/blau/page-hot-off-the-plate.php on line 58

Sorry – I omitted a ‘.’:

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('category_name=hot-off-the-plate&posts_per_page=4&paged=' .$paged); ?>

However, I’m not sure you can pull posts based on the slug using category_name. Whilst it might work in the short term, that may change in later version of WP. You might be better off using:

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('category_name=hot off the plate&posts_per_page=4&paged=' .$paged); ?>

ha whoa, it just seems to repeat the latest article over and over with each snippet. http://dev.elizabethblau.com/in-the-news/hot-off-the-plate/

got it. how do i get the nav to pull in for the other article posts?

<ul id="news">

<?php $temp_query = $wp_query; ?>

<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;							query_posts('category_name=hot off the plate&posts_per_page=4&paged=' .$paged); ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<?php  $pdfLink = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdf_link', true);
if ( !empty($pdfLink) ) echo '' ?>

<div class="pdf_download">
<a href="<?php echo $pdfLink ?>" target="_blank"><img src="/wp-content/themes/blau/style/images/pdf_bttn.gif" width="41" height="37" alt="" /></a>
</div>

<div class="thmb">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
</div>

<?php the_title('<h4>', '</h4>'); ?>

<p><strong> - </strong></p>

<p><strong><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>, </strong></p>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

</div>

</li>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</ul>
