This is my first smarty plugin that i've written while working on my mini CMS.

its very effective and simple for spliting big article into smaller chunks and creating navigation menu between them :

Code:
<?php
/*
 * Smarty plugin
 * -------------------------------------------------------------
 * File:     block.paginate.php
 * Type:     block
 * Name:     paginate
 * Purpose:  paginate content
 * -------------------------------------------------------------
 */
function smarty_block_paginate($params, $content, &$this)
{
  if (is_null($content)) {
   return;
  }
  extract($params);
  if (!isset($page_name)) $page_name='page';
  if (!isset($split_name)) $split_name='<NEWPAGE>';
  if (isset($get_params[$page_name])) $current_page=$get_params[$page_name];

  $Pages = explode( "$split_name", $content );
  $TotalPages = sizeof( $Pages );

  if ($TotalPages== 1)
  {
   return $content;
  }
  elseif($TotalPages>1)
  {
   if (!$current_page) $current_page = 1;

   foreach ($get_params as $key => $value)
   {
    if ($key != "$page_name")
    {
     $link_params.="$key=$value&";
    }
   }
   $linkage="<br>";
   $i=1;
   while ($i <= $TotalPages)
   {
    $linkage.=($i==$current_page)?"[<b>$i</b>]":"<a href='$script?".$link_params.$page_name."=".$i."'>$i</a>";
    $i++;

   }

   return $Pages[$current_page-1].$linkage;
  }
  else
  {
   return;
  }

}
?>



Usage:

PHP PART:
$smarty->assign('myarticle','first page contents<NEWPAGE>second page contents <NEWPAGE>ETC');
TEMPLATE:
{paginate script_name="$SCRIPT_NAME" get_params=$smarty.get} $myarticle {/paginate}

* $SCRIPT_NAME & $smarty.get are required in order to create links.
* $split_name is optional parameter: defines the string separator used in this plugin to split article in smaller chunks (default -> "<NEWPAGE>")
*$page_name - optional parameter: how do you want your pages to be called (default -> "page")

If you want to split your article using <LDFJSLDS> instead of <NEWPAGE> and want for pagination to use "row" instead of default "page" - then use it as follows:

{paginate script_name="$SCRIPT_NAME" get_params=$smarty.get split_name="<LDFJSLDS>" page_name="row"}
first page content<LDFJSLDS>second page content <LDFJSLDS> third page content and so on
{/paginate}



i'm using it here:

http://www.freedomlist.com/info.php?pid=15


it will keep GET variables intact

for example if i link to the same article with some extra variables

http://www.freedomlist.com/info.php?pid=15&smarty=is&great=forsure

it will preserve them.

i guess could be improved to give a choice of navigation menus
1) << <> >>
2) (first) next [current] previous (last)
3) numeric (as is now)
4) something else...

feedback appreciated
