Anybody do something like this? Would be supercool!

Works with the latest version of Prototype. It’s on the Lightview page.

Hi,

Did you get any answer to this?

I want to show Previous_post_link() and next_post_link() immediately below the title, according to my design. But this code yields nothing:

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<span class="titlenav">
  <span class="prv"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?></span>
  <span class="nxt"><?php next_post_link(' %link &raquo;') ?></span>
</span>

<a id="content"></a>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<span class="date"><?php the_date(); ?> / <a href="<?php trackback_url(); ?>" rel="trackback">Trackback</a>
</span>

<div class="entry">
<?php the_content(); ?>

<div class="singlestuff">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=f00c9af2-22dc-4ca6-aea9-c9a255b12f81&type=website"></script>
<br /><?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p><br />', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
<?php the_tags( '<span class="tags">Tags: ', ', ', '</span>'); ?>

<div class="navigation">
<span class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?></span>
<span class="alignright"><?php next_post_link(' | %link &raquo;') ?></span>
</div>

</div>

</div>
</div>

<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>

		<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

The funny bit is that the second time previous_post_link() is called in the “div class=navigation”, it does show up, but it doesn’t show up earlier than the_content(). Is this a bug? Will previous_post_link only show up after the content?

I am looking for this too. Any thoughts?

What usability upgrades? We should have the option of having menus on the top. The left schtick just hampers the actual work we do regularly: write. The menus should be unobtrusive. With “Lighter Menus” plugin I could do this greatly with 2.6, but 2.7 breaks that too.

Not to mention that the text editor is a painful beast still.

And the main elephant in the room — the custom field GUI — is still where it was in WordPress 1.0. So much for evolution.

Who cares how pretty the icons look. Make the damn thing functional. Give me a better custom field GUI (which I can specify by category and make appear not like one big blob of dropdowns, but as proper form fields — textbox, radio, checkbox etc), improve the text editor that does not override my html, and allow me to have a horizontal bar of menus with mouseover menu items (instead of clicking for options!) and that is when we will think of this as an “upgrade”.
