NAME

Blosxom Plug-in: chrono_nav

SYNOPSIS

Populates the chrono_nav namespace with links for pointing to preceding and following stories (arranged chronologically). Plugs into &blosxom::story and &blosxom::filter. Only useful with individual entry pages. Suggest using with interpolate_fancy and testing for $chrono_nav::prev and $chrono_nav::next in order to eliminate spurious links in first and last post and more importantly on index pages (See examples at http://blog.fatoprofugus.net/computers/www/blosxom/chrono_nav)

INSTALLATION

Drop this plugin into your plugin directory. Configure $ante to the URL that you want the first post's "prev" to point to. Configure $post to the URL that you want the last post's "next" to point to. Place substitution variables $chrono_nav::next and $chrono_nav::prev in the story.flavour as an href value for an anchor element.
