Here's how I recommend using the class.
- Either activate this plugin, or include the class in your own plugin file.
- When you start to render the page with the post list, instantiate the pagination class, using an argument array if you'd like:
$pargs = array( 'get_per_page_key' => 'perpage', 'get_paged_key' => 'current_page', 'per_page' => 15 ); $pagination = new BBG_CPT_Pag( $args );
- When constructing your query arguments (for query_posts() or WP_Query), you can use the class to get your pagination arguments out of the $_GET parameters. For instance:
$args = array( ... 'posts_per_page' => $pagination->get_per_page, 'paged' => $pagination->get_paged ... ); query_posts( $args );
- After firing the query, use the
setup_query() method to populate the rest of the class. If you used query_posts(), you don't need an argument:
$pagination->setup_query();
If you use new WP_Query, you'll have to pass the query object:
$my_query = new WP_Query; $pagination->setup_query( $my_query );
- Then you can use all sorts of fun methods, like
$pagination->paginate_links(); $pagination->currently_viewing_text();
