Google-style page navigation in search results
|
Can't Post

Recently, one of our customers asked about creating a "page navigation bar", which would allow site visitors to quickly jump between pages in the search results instead of being forced to use only the "next page" and "previous page" links. For example:
Found 74 of 351 Listings, Page 1 of 7 << < 1 2 3 4 5 ... > >>
Although this functionality isn't built into Realty Manager's search engine, it's possible to achieve with a little JavaScript. To illustrate how this is done, I've created an example search_results.html template, which you can examine here:
http://www.interactivetools.com/staff/chris/rm_search_result_page_navigation/_search_results.txt
This is a complete search results template for Realty Manager, with the exception that it's been renamed to a .txt file. Since I've combined JavaScript and $placeholders$, viewing the template directly as HTML with your browser would cause errors! (Just like looking directly into the sun!)
You can quickly find the changes I made by searching for the comments <!-- BEGINNING OF NAVIGATION CHANGES --> and <!-- END OF NAVIGATION CHANGES -->
The relevant parts of the template are in <script>...</script> tags. The first <script>...</script> section sets up some variables, while the second and third actually output HTML. The second and third scripts are identical, and are repeated to have the navigation bar at the top and bottom of the page. Please note the <noscript>...</noscript> tag, which will display the default navigation links if the visitor has JavaScript disabled.
If anyone has any questions about the script, I'd be happy to answer them.

I tried this and it shows up with none active links.
I changed the links to what you see below.
document.write(' <a href="/cgi-bin/listman/exec/$cgiurl$?$query$&pagenum=' + super_prev_page + '"><<</a>');
Any suggestions

Hi there,
I think we'd need to see what code you have for this -- this is a fairly advanced option, and debugging JavaScript can take a while. Try filling out a support request here:

Hi iloveav,
Thanks for your post!
You can definitely use an image instead - try replacing these characters with an image tag on your _search_results.html template:
>>
You'll find those in the <!-- result pages --> template cell on this template.
Let us know if you need anything else.
