OK folks, I'm stuck. Here's the scenario:
- split blog posts into years by folder (blog/2014, blog/2013, etc) to maintain performance.
- I use a "router" template to pass in the required variables so that site.com, site.com/blog and site.com/blog/2014 are all equivalent
I'd like my navigation to work properly. I've got it working so when I'm on the last page of a year, the "Older" link goes to the earlier year.
However, if I'm on the FIRST page of a non-current year (say, 2012) I simply cannot get it to go to the LAST page of the previous year (site.com/blog/2013&page=6, for example).
Logically I've solved it but because of this problem, it doesn't work.
I'm open for ideas. Code below.
{{ var:passed_year is={year} }}
{{ var:current_year is={current_date format='Y'} }}
{{ var:next_year is="{{year|+:1}}" }}
{{ var:last_year is="{{year|-:1}}" }}
{{ var:first_in_year is="false" }}
<ul class="pager">
{{ if !year }}
{{ entries:pagination folder="{folder}" limit="4" taxonomy="{taxonomy}" since=since until=until}}
<li class="previous {{ if !previous_page }} disabled{{endif}}"><a href="{{ previous_page }}">Newer</a></li>
<li class="next {{ if !next_page }} disabled{{endif}}"><a href="{{ next_page }}">Older</a></li>
{{ /entries:pagination }}
{{ else }}
{{# if not in current year #}}
{{ if "{var:passed_year}" != "{var:current_year}" }}
{{# figure out if we are at the beginning #}}
{{ entries:pagination folder="{folder}" limit="4" taxonomy="{taxonomy}" since=since until=until}}
{{ if !previous_page }}{{var:first_in_year is="true"}}{{ /if }}
{{ /entries:pagination }}
{{# if at the beginning, grab the last page from the NEWER year #}}
{{ if "{var:first_in_year}"=="true" }}
{{ entries:pagination folder="blog/{var:next_year}" limit="4" }}
<li class="previous"><a href="/blog/{{var:next_year}}{{last_page}}">Newer</a>
{{ /entries:pagination }}
{{ else }}
<li class="previous"><a href="{{ previous_page }}">Newer</a></li>
{{ /if }}
{{# I'm in the current year #}}
{{ else }}
{{ entries:pagination folder="{folder}" limit="4" taxonomy="{taxonomy}" since=since until=until}}
<li class="previous {{ if !previous_page }} disabled{{endif}}"><a href="{{ previous_page }}">Newer</a></li>
{{ /entries:pagination }}
{{ /if }}
{{# now put the Older link in #}}
{{ entries:pagination folder="{folder}" limit="4" taxonomy="{taxonomy}" since=since until=until}}
{{ if next_page }}
<li class="next"><a href="{{ next_page }}">Older</a></li>
{{ else }}
<li class="next"><a href="/blog/{{var:last_year}}">Older</a></li>
{{ /if }}
{{ /entries:pagination }}
{{ /if }}
</ul>
Specifically, this:
{{ if "{var:passed_year}" != "{var:current_year}" }}
Doesn't work, no matter how I try it with quotes/braces, etc
