Next & Previous Nav Block Question

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Is it possible to have the parent page included in the next/previous text?

For example, I can add the text as "Previous Post" or "Next Post" no problem. What I'd like to do is have the parent page reflected in the title somehow.

For example: "Previous Music Post" / "Next Music Post" or "Previous Gaming Post" / "Next Gaming Post" and so on.

Can anyone help steer me in the right direction of achieving this?

Cheers in advance!

This can be achieved through Custom Templates [http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/using-concrete5/in-page-edit... ]

I've created one for you to get you started, extract the attached file to yoursite/blocks/next_previous/templates/parent_name.php

Then while in edit mode, click on your Next & Previous block, and choose Custom Template. 'Parent Name' will now be an option.

Compare this file to the original output file located at yoursite/concrete/blocks/next_previous/view.php to see what I changed to achieve this.

Attachments aren't working for me at the moment, here is the code for parent_name.php

<?php defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
$nh = Loader::helper('navigation');
$previousLinkURL = is_object($previousCollection) ? $nh->getLinkToCollection($previousCollection) : '';
$parentLinkURL = is_object($parentCollection) ? $nh->getLinkToCollection($parentCollection) : '';
$nextLinkURL = is_object($nextCollection) ? $nh->getLinkToCollection($nextCollection) : '';
$this_page = Page::getCurrentPage();
$parent_page = Page::getByID($this_page->getCollectionParentID()); 
?>
<div id="ccm-next-previous-<?php echo $bID; ?>" class="ccm-next-previous-wrapper">
    <?php if ($previousLinkText): ?>
   <div class="ccm-next-previous-previouslink">
      <?php echo $previousLinkURL ? '<a href="' . $previousLinkURL . '">' . $previousLinkText . ' ' . $parent_page->getCollectionName() . ' post' . '</a>' : ' ' ?>
    </div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   <?php if ($parentLinkText): ?>

This is just what I was after!

Truth be told, I have tried a few things prior to my original post, none of which worked (PHP isn't my first language admittedly).

Many thanks for your help!
