How to create "Next" "Previous" buttons in nodes for a view list

By simone789 on 17 Feb 2010 at 19:28 UTC

Hello the drupalists !

I think I need some help about a little thing I want to put in my nodes... I explain:

I would like to create a "Next" and a "Previous" button that will display the next or previous node from the view list from where the actual node has been displayed...

Example: You are in a list of nodes (created by views), you click on one node to see it, the node is displayed and in this node two buttons allow user to continue scrolling the list up or down node by node

I hope someone knows an easy way of doing this thing because it's a very usefull thing and a smart way to browse your node list (instead of getting out of the node and clik on the following or previous node of the list)

Thank you for your help !

Simone

Have you looked

at the books module? It is part of core. It will not match a view, but if the content goes in an orderly fashion it might be useful. You just assign the nodes to the book or chapter of a book. The book module give you a "previous", a "next", and an "up". The previous and next are the titles of the article.

For images it is very easy...just use the lightbox module.

For other content types maybe try the Views Slideshow module?
Or I would create a second page display for my view. For that I would set Items to display to 1 and pager to full pager. That would allow you to scroll through nodes....you could use arguments in your first display to somehow link to the right node in this second display.
