I display two days' worth of entries on my index page.  I'd like to add a 'previous' link to the bottom of the index that goes to the individual archive page of the entry before the last one on the index page, so you can browse backwards though the archives.

For example, if entries 220 - 212 were displayed on the index page, as they'd been posted in the last two days, then a 'previous' link at the bottom of the index page would take you to the individual archive of entry 211.

Clearly, the problem here is getting mt to know the 'previous' link should go to 211.  I've poked through the manual and searched the board, but I can't work out how to do it.  Any ideas, please?

There are several ways to do it - here's what I do, though


Since you have two entries showing, you use an offset value to skip those and go to the next entries infor.

Try that out, and if it doesn't work how you were hoping, post back

It's not two entries, it's two days. That changes things a bit, but I'm not sure how to get around it.

Oh sorry, I obviously didn't read closely, did I?

From the manual, there's a solution with the MTEntriesFooter, and although I know I was chastised before for suggesting this container in the wrong context, I think I've got it now

Put this code right before the /MTEntries of your main MTEntries container.


Hope that works better

That did indeed work perfectly, whoo.

Thanks, Kristine.  :)

Glad that it worked, even if it took me a few tries!!
