How can I place a number of pages on the Next and Previous links?

[fifteen15studios]

Hi Modern Tribe,

You have Next and Previous buttons to cycle through events (or a collection of events). I’d like to display a number of events found using the certain search criteria. Can we do that? I’d also like to display a list of page groups between the next and previous pages like all other websites do, where we have something to the effect of the following:

<<First <Previous [1] [2] [3] [4]… [8] Next> Last>>

Is this possible to add this without a tremendous amount of modification?

Thanks!
Brendan

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.

We do not have a feature to do numbered pagination and we are limited by our terms and conditions on supporting features outside of what the plugins ship with.

There are WordPress functions that might help out, but not sure if they will work on a event date based query.

This is the WordPress function:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links

And you can modify our templates following our themer’s guide:

Let me know if you have any follow up questions, but we are limited in providing much more then this.

Thanks

YES!

HOLY WOW THAT WORKED!

THANK YOU FOR THAT! If you want to use this with tribe, just use the variables provided to adjust the page variables setting.

This is the PHP I used:

<?php $args = array(
	'base'               => '%_%',
	'format'             => '?tribe_paged=%#%'/*
	'total'              => 1,
	'current'            => 0,
	'show_all'           => false,
	'end_size'           => 1,
	'mid_size'           => 2,
	'prev_next'          => true,
	'prev_text'          => __('« Previous'),
	'next_text'          => __('Next »'),
	'type'               => 'plain',
	'add_args'           => false,
	'add_fragment'       => '',
	'before_page_number' => '',
	'after_page_number'  => ''*/
); ?>
<?php echo paginate_links( $args ); ?>

I added this to my header, but you can add it just about anywhere. Notice how I commented out the rest of the variables. You can changes these if you want. Yes. Thank you!

I hope this helps you guys! 🙂

Now to fine-tune it, add it to my content section, and add some CSS.

Ok so essentially you used this as the coding:

<?php $args = array(
'base' => '%_%',
'format' => '?tribe_paged=%#%'
); ?>
<?php echo paginate_links( $args ); ?>

Thanks for sharing!

Hi,

You can add it to this file here:

plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/list/nav.php

After you move it to your theme here:

yourtheme/tribe-events/list/nav.php

Following our themer’s guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

From there you would have to style it the way you would like with css.

Cheers

This works great if you aren’t using the filters plugin.

If I go to my main event list page I see that I have 14 pages and pagination works as expected. I then select a filter (I have category and taxonomy filters shown) and the page reloads with the filtered events. I see that the filter modified the URL to include my selections like so:

/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=&tribe_eventcategory%5B%5D=36&tribe_tags%5B%5D=5

I scroll down and see that I now only have 5 pages so it appears to have worked BUT clicking “2” or “Next” takes me to /?tribe_paged=2 which completely removes my filters from the URL.

If I don’t click “2” or “Next” and just refresh the page it will reload the same page with my filters still in the URL but NOW the pagination links include my filters and work exactly as they should. If I modify my filters I have to go through the process again of refreshing the page for the links in the pagination to include my filters.

I am thinking this has to do with the AJAX loading since the URLs for the pagination are already set and the filters only update the events shown.

How would I go about including taxonomies and categories in the pagination URL?

Hi Jesse,

I do not have any information to help on this. That is a customization and beyond what we can support.

I do not even have good information on where to begin on something like this as my first impression is you would have to make a complete custom pagination system to do what you want.

[kortris]

So i have to add the code both to the yourtheme/tribe-events/list/nav.php and at plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/list/nav.php ?

Thank you in advance

[Brian]

Hi kortris,

You want to put the coding only here:

yourtheme/tribe-events/list/nav.php

As it will be overwritten in the other location.

Cheers

[Brian]

I am going to go ahead and close this thread as we have provided all we can for a customization.

If you need help on this or something else please post a new ticket.

Thanks!
