Hi,

Im not sure if I have missed anything but I am trying to achieve pagination on blog posts within my blog. Is there a setting somewhere to show a certain number of blog posts per page by default? Or am I going to need to add that functionallity myself?

Thanks.

Hi Rich and welcome aboard !

Not having so much information about the context of your issue (ez publish version, custom design and content classes or not, etc.. ) i'd advise to spot the template used for displaying the blog posts, and search for a variable called $limit or something similar. This variable is most likely used to limit the amount of blog posts fetched ( in a 'fetch' function in the template ), and conditions pagination as well.

Let us know how it goes,
Cheers,

Yes, I would also like to know how you can limit the amount of blog postings shown on a page.
Surely someone must know ?

Ok here it is:

grep -r blog * > blog.txt
more blog.txt

This one appears to be the correct "blog.tpl"
extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/override/templates/full/blog.tpl:

..on line 13.

{def $page_limit = 10

change the 10 something a lot smaller if you have more than a handful of images because it will be pig slow.

I hope somebody else finds this useful.

The default blog.tpl or folder.tpl will show you how.
