Recently I've seen a lot of news about new Pagination capabilities implemented in MT 4.x. I am wondering how can I use this ability? Is there any Tag I can use in my index page to paginate my entries by number? Your help is appreciated.

Where did you hear that? It would be great if it were true, but I dont think that's the case.

Pagination for Dynamic Publishing

What a pity! It's just for published archive template. Not for entries.

the example given is for an archive template, but it should work for any template that's generated dynamically.

Would you please kindly update us how it can be used for paginating first page entries? For example showing just 10 entries with a page pagination below to go to next 10 entries and so on.

Thank you in advance

If your index template is generated dynamically, just follow the example and pretend "Category Entry Listing archive template" says "Main Index template"

Thank you. I'm going to test it.

Hi there,

Were you able to get this working? I'm not getting any results at all. Trying to use this on the Category Listing Archive (actually, inside a Template Module that's included in the Cat Listing Archive).

My .htaccess file already had the Rewrite line in it:
RewriteRule ^(.*)(\?.*)?$ /mtview.php$2 [L,QSA]

Slightly different than the documentation, but literally including "$mtview_server_url" throws a system error. Here is the page I have placed the pagination code: News Archive

There are only 7 total "news items" to return (this page is still under development), so I set the limit/lastn to 3 to trigger the pagination, but I only get a #1 in the content-nav div, with no link to a second page. My mt:Entries tag: <mt:Entries offset="auto" lastn="3" limit="3">

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Thank you!

And my test failed too.

May be it's time for MT to publish a guide on Pagination.

Pagination is very important thing for a CMS, bro!

Movable Type is the only blog software on the market that has no sort of built in pagination... even for the main index!

You are wasting your time talking about paginating, and the plugins for pagination have their problems too.

It's so weird that a regular reader can only scroll down to read ten entries and doesnt have an option to see the previous ten.

I've been complaining about it for years and tears. My readers have been complaining about it for years.

Everytime MT comes out with a new version or an upgrade I cross my fingers and say...

Will this be the day Movable Type has pagination?

And everytime, I'm utterly diappointed.

Hybrid pagination might be useful http://plugins.movabletype.org/hybrid-pagination/
