-
- Type
- list of item names separated by
| - Default
- Current page ID
Each element in the list (separated by
|) is either a reserved item name (see list) with a predefined function, or a user-defined name which you can assign a link to any page. Note that the current page cannot be the root-page of a site.Reserved item names:next/prev-
Links to the next page / the previous page. Next and previous pages are from the same "pid" as the current page id (or "value") - that is the next item in a menu with the current page. Also referred to as current level.
If special.items.prevnextToSection is set then
next/prevwill link to the first page of the next section / to the last page of the previous section, too. nextsection/prevsection-
Links to the next section / the previous section. A section is defined as the subpages of a page on the same level as the parent (pid) page of the current page. Will not work if the parent page of the current page is the root page of the site.
nextsection_/last prevsection_last - Where
nextsection/prevsectionlinks to the first page in a section, these link to the last page. If there is only one page in the section that will be both first and last. Will not work if the parent page of the current page is the root page of the site. first/last- First / last page on the current level. If there is only one page on the current level that page will be both first and last.
up- Links to the parent (pid) page of the current page (up 1 level). Will always be available.
index- Links to the parent of the parent page of the current page(up 2 levels). May not be available, if that page is out of the root line.
Example: Display different types of browse links
If id = 20 is the current page then:
21 = prev and first, 19 = next, 18 = last, 17 = up, 1 = index, 10 = nextsection, 11 = nextsection_last
prevsection and prevsection_last are not present because id = 3 has no subpages!
TypoScript (only "browse"-part, needs also TMENU):
xxx = HMENU
xxx.special = browse
xxx.special {
items = index|up|next|prev
items.prevnextToSection = 1
index.target = _blank
index.fields.title = INDEX
index.uid = 8
}special.items.prevnextToSection

<link rel="next" href="http://www.example.org/page2" />The menu excludes pages with the flag Include in Search removed and jumps to the next section when the last of subpages is reached.
