Smarty

Hello.

I'm currently doing a small PHP smarty website, & i have 'pages' to display 10 items per page. (this is OK.)

Ive got the 'result' HTML showing this so far.. however i'm going to create more & more pages as the website grows..

Pages: First .. 2 .. 3 .. 4 .. 5 .. 6 .. 7 .. 8 .. 9 .. 10 .. 11 .. 12 .. 13 .. 14 .. 15 .. 16 .. Last ..


If i'm currently viewing page 10, i'll want something like :-

Pages: First .. .. 6 .. 7 .. 8 .. 9 .. 10 .. 11 .. 12 .. 13 .. 14 .. Last ..

to show page 10, & 3-4 pages either side - hiding the rest of the pages...


I am wondering if there is a way to do a normal foreach loop & do

IF (number) between 5 and 15 - then show it. otherwise dont show....

is there a function / quick way of doing 'between' ?

i am thinking i'll need to do two foreach loops - to show 'before' the current page, and after the current page. is this necessary ?

There's no such function, but it really easy to do it yourself.

See http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.function.foreach.tpl#foreach.property.iteration

http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.function.foreach.tpl#foreach.property.last

Thanks...


I'll look into that, though i think i've solved my problem before i saw your message.

Its a bit messy, but works.


[code]
{math assign="startpage" equation="page-4" page=$page}
{math assign="endpage" equation="page+4" page=$page}
<div style='text-align:center;'>Pages:
{foreach from=$pages key=k item=v name=bobby}
{if $k<2}
<a href="/date/{$pages.$k.page}">{$pages.$k.name}</a> ..
{elseif $smarty.foreach.bobby.last}
<a href="/date/{$pages.$k.page}">{$pages.$k.name}</a>
{elseif ($k eq $page)}
<strong><a href="/date/{$pages.$k.page}">{$pages.$k.name}</a></strong> ..
{elseif ($k gt $startpage) and ($k lt $endpage)}
<a href="/date/{$pages.$k.page}">{$pages.$k.name}</a> ..
{/if}
{/foreach}
[/code]

$k is the count / number of 'pages' I have. (already calculated in my PHP script)
