PAGING OF ARTICLES?

I wanted to ask if others have come across this topic on forums. I think I remember reading about this, but cannot backtrack/remember where I read it. I have a situation on website where notices are going to be posted. It is likely that over a period of time there may be as many as 100 at any given time.
The client has asked if there is any ability to
page results. For example each page would show the listing of say 20 notices (articles) with a
next button to view notices 21-40...and so on.
Is there anyone can point me in right direction?
Thanks in advance..

Hi '96,
Yes something similar to the browse....
As far as I understand the {BROWSE:NEXT:1} tag is for incrementally paging (one article at a time). I am looking for the paging of
article listings
.........20 at a time.........
Wee bit different. I do remember reading something about this, but cannot remember where. anyway thanks for the response.
Thinking a custom reptag might accomplish this.

How about the teaser tag?
I am using it on my site for a calendar of events.

Yep. Indeed. Good idea! That could do the job.

Only problem with the teaser tag is that I can't do one column. Articles do not word wrap.

hmmm... with the teaser tag... "can't do one colum" ?
Sure you can Steven
Remember:
{TEASER_EX:category_alias|count[;category_aliasx|countx]:articles_per_page:sortfield|sortdir:show_cat_name:pagelink_text:
columns:exclude_articles}
Am I off field...?

I tried it as one column and the text was as if it was set to NOWRAP.
I just did it again to demonstrate but it is working as 1 column.
I'm glad I cam across this thread or I wouldn't havetried it again.

I have the feeling that it is something in your list template that needs a tweak...
This is what I use and it works both ways: One or Two columns:
Code: Select all
[SPACE]<hr>[/SPACE]
<div>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<!-- <td width="150" valign="top">
[IMAGE]<div><a href="{ARTICLELINK}">{IMAGE}</a></div>[/IMAGE]
[CAPTION]<div align="center">{CAPTION}</div>[/CAPTION]
</td>
<td width="10"><img src="img/leer.gif" border="0" width="10" height="1" alt=""></td> -->
<td width="100%" valign="top">
[TITLE]<span class="articleList_tophead"><a href="{ARTICLELINK}">{TITLE}</a></span>[/TITLE]<br />
[SUB]<span class="articleList_topsubhead"><a href="{ARTICLELINK}">{SUB}</a></span>[/SUB]
[SUMMARY]<span class="articleList_toptext"><p style="margin:0">{SUMMARY}</p>[/SUMMARY]
[MORE]<a href="{ARTICLELINK}">{MORE}</a>[/MORE]</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Cheers,
