Can I use the navigation arrows for each category, not all?

Is ist possible to use both versions of navigation?

If someone starts from a specific (static) “category-page”, it would be appropriate to browse only inside the category. Otherwise – starting from the (static) “all-posts-page”, it would be usefull to see posts from all Categories in regular order by date.

It would be nice, to start the filter shown above not in general in the functions.php but in the specific posts-pages:

* Category-page: add category-filter

* All-posts-page: remove category-filter

Is that possible?

Hi Dude,

I have tried your proposal, but it don’t work. I do not know, if I had executed every option, because of the absent of know how. The only one that works, was ‘is_single()’ instead of ‘is_archive()’. But again, it operates for every post.

Hi,

I have found a nice small Plugin: smarter-navigation.1.3.2. This Plugin remembers, if an user comes from an archive- or category-page to a single post. Normally you have to replace only ‘previous_post_link(‘ and ‘next_post_link(‘ with ‘previous_post_smart(‘ and ‘next_post_smart(‘ and it should work.

But I did not found these expressions in the enfold theme. I inserted prev- next- links, that really display only, when you are coming from a category-Page. But in this case I have two pairs of links: the enfold arrows for the next post and the links inside the category. What can I do? The used code-lines:

<!-- previous post in catetegory -->

<?php

$prev_post_id = get_adjacent_id_smart( true );

if( $prev_post_id ) {

$args = array(

'posts_per_page' => 1,

'include' => $prev_post_id

);

$prevPost = get_posts( $args );

foreach ( $prevPost as $post ) {

setup_postdata( $post );

?>

<div class="post-previous">

<a>">«Previous Post</a>

<a>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?></a>

<h4><a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>

</div>

<?php

wp_reset_postdata();

} //end foreach

} // end if

?>

<!-- next post in category with first line: $prev_post_id = get_adjacent_id_smart( ); -->

Is it possible to include the link above into the enfold-arrows or at least to fade out the arrows, when needed? One idea is, to place the extra-links above the enfold-arrows in a div with higher z-index.

Hi Nick,

now I have found an individual solution with the smarter-navigation-plugin: I added the code above into a renamed copy from loop-index.php, invoked only by single.php. Therby I used the same html-tags and -classes as the theme. Additionaly I add an extra class ‘anzeigen’ to the $output in the ‘function avia_post_nav($same_category = false)’ in functions-enfold.php. Into the code in the loop I add a style block, that determines the extra class ‘anzeigen’ as ‘display: none’

So the whole thing works now in every case. If I do not come from a category-Page, the code for ‘previous post in catetegory’ does obviously not work, or create any effect. In the other case, the standard-arrows are replaced by the smarter-navigation-arrows.

Günter
