This tutorial will outline how you can set up Article Manager's search results page to have a navigation that will output the amount of pages of search results and allow users to click on a page number to jump directly to that page of results. The appearance will be something like this:

Please let us know if you need assistance setting this up on your site. You can post to the forum or fill out a support request, or even give us a call.

We also offer a Priority Consulting service if you would rather have us set this up on your site for you. To inquire, send us an email, or even give us a call ( 1-800-752-0455).

You'll want to take the block of code that looks like this:
<!-- template insert : $prev$ --> <!-- templatecell : prev --> <a href="$prev_url$"><< prev</a> <!-- /templatecell : prev --> <!-- templatecell : no_prev --> <span><< prev</span> <!-- /templatecell : no_prev --> <!-- template insert : $next$ --> <!-- templatecell : next --> <a href="$next_url$">next >></a> <!-- /templatecell : next --> <!-- templatecell : no_next --> <span>next >></span> <!-- /templatecell : no_next -->

And replace it with this:
<!-- templatecell : prev --> <a href="$prev_url$"><<</a> <script type="text/javascript"> var prev_url = '$prev_url$'; </script> <!-- /templatecell : prev --> <!-- templatecell : no_prev --> <span><<</span> <!-- /templatecell : no_prev --> <!-- templatecell : next --> <script type="text/javascript"> var next_url = '$next_url$'; </script> <a href="$next_url$">>></a> <!-- /templatecell : next --> <!-- templatecell : no_next --> <span>>></span> <!-- /templatecell : no_next -->

<!-- template insert : $prev$ --><div class="hidden_next"><!-- template insert : $next$ --></div> <script type="text/javascript"> var next_url var prev_url if(next_url!=undefined) { var i=0 var test=0 var a=$search_tpage$; var current= $search_cpage$; var find_perpage = next_url.indexOf("perpage="); var get_value = find_perpage + 8; var half_string = next_url.substring(get_value, next_url.length); var get_and = half_string.indexOf("&"); var perpage = half_string.substring(0, get_and); for (i=1;i<=a;i++) { test=((i-1)*perpage) +1; if(i==current) { document.write(i + ' ') } else { document.write('<a href=' + next_url + '&start=' + test + '>' + i + '</a> ') } } } else if(next_url==undefined && prev_url!=undefined) { var i=0 var test=0 var a=$search_tpage$; var current= $search_cpage$; var find_perpage = prev_url.indexOf("perpage="); var get_value = find_perpage + 8; var half_string = prev_url.substring(get_value, prev_url.length); var get_and = half_string.indexOf("&"); var perpage = half_string.substring(0, get_and); for (i=1;i<=a;i++) { test=((i-1)*perpage) +1; if(i==current) { document.write(i + ' ') } else { document.write('<a href=' + prev_url + '&start=' + test + '>' + i + '</a> ') } } } </script> <!-- template insert : $next$ --> <br/><br/>

<style> .hidden_next { display: none; } </style>

You'll see that there are just a few steps to set this up and the end result is a nice navigation on the search results page that makes it easier for users to browse through your results. If you have any questions about setting this up you can feel free to let us know.

We also offer a Priority Consulting service if you would prefer for us to setup your search results template for you. To inquire, send us an email or call 1-800-752-0455.
