I'm looking for an extension to views that will allow me to create a view that is "nodes older than this one" or "nodes younger than this one" (based on any views accessible date field). In other words I'd like to be able to filter < or > and date field (eg created, posted or cck date fields) in the current node.
Why do I want it? To implement an arbitrary "Next" and "Prev" button - by using the filtering available in views I can create a time series of nodes each linking to the next and previous node matching an arbitrary set of constraints.
The views pager almost does this but it only works if you got to the node through a view - if you link to the node directly there is no way to figure out which page of the view it would be on to know what the next/prev page would be.
I have budget to pay for this and time scale is short for what should be a relatively simple project for somebody who grocks views.
I'm open to the resultant module being contributed back to the community (we'd need to talk about who does maint and on what basis)
