Put Pagination around two loops

Hi all,

I am trying to create a pagination on a two column layout. I have two loops in order to generate the two separate columns and I am willing to put pagination around the two loops so that the next page of articles shows (please see http://www.homeopathytoday.net/spip.php?rubrique8)

The way that the loops work at the moment is that the newest article is at the top left then then next one is at top right, then next one is position 2 on the left, next is position two on the right and so on. I want to limit the articles to 8 maximum in each column and then if I have more then 16 articles in a section, to have pagination for page two to appear.

I know it sounds complicated but I am sure there will be someone out there to know how to handle this slightly more complex layout issue with pagination.

Thanks in advance, I will send the code to you if you need to see the structure.

Nadia

Hi,

I don’t really understand why you want to do this with two separate loops... Why don’t you keep a single loop with a simple {0,16} {pagination} as criterions of the loop ?

i see 2 solutions to solve your issue

to have 2 columns layout and use the following loops :
{1/2}{pagination 16}, {2/2}{pagination 16}
but i think it’s not so good idea because you will get 2 paginations

but in your case, i would rather use a single loop {pagination 16} and use a test to get the right css display. par instance something like [(#COMPTEUR_BOUCLE|=={8}|oui)<div style="clear"></div>]

I suggest not to create a two columns layout. Instead of leftcol and rightcol, just one
<div id="contenu">
spanning the area covered previously by leftcol and rightcol.

And one ARTICLES loop containing a
<div id="articles">
for each item with a width a little less than 50% and a "float:left ;".

A normal #ANCRE_PAGINATION at the start and #PAGINATION at the end of the loop should do the trick.
