Formula to Format Search Results 1

[kennygadams]

I'm trying to create navigation feature similar to what tek-tips.net did with theirs:

http://www.tek-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=219&page=10

Example: « ‹ 5 6 7 8 9 [10] 11 12 13 14 › »

You can view my progress here:

Currently it is displaying links to the all the results pages but I want it to display about four links before and after the current page that the visitor is viewing. What would be some good ways of doing that?

$number_of_pages = '3319';
$page_counter = '0';
while($page_counter < $number_of_pages){
	$page_counter++;
	if($page_counter == $current_page_number){
		$navigation_text .= " &nbsp; <b>($page_counter)</b> &nbsp; ";
		}
	else{
		$navigation_text .= " &nbsp; <a href='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.jesterartsillustrations.com/cgi-bin/test-select.pl?page=$page_counter'>$page_counter</a>[/URL] &nbsp; ";	
		}
	}

my $min = $current -4;
my $max = $current +4;
$min = 0       if ($min < 0);
$max = limit-1 if ($max >= $total)'
for (my $pageno = $min; $pageno < $max; $pageno++) {
  create_link($pageno);
}

Something along those lines might be the kind of thing you're looking for.

Thanks Trojan.

I added your code...

It works but needs a little work.

I wasn't trying to do the whole job for you, just give you a start.
