devot:eeDevoted to ExpressionEngine

AB Pagination is ExpressionEngine Pagination on Steroids. The most powerful pagination addon to date?

AB Pagination adds a lot of flexibility and power to the default {exp:channel:entries} pagination functionality in ExpressionEngine.

Developer license is available here.

Some benefits over the standard EE pagination functionality:

• Total freedom with regards to the markup you use
• Lots of conditionals available (has_previous, has_next etc.)
• The link to the first first page won’t be postfixed with /P0 .. linking to /P0 basically creates duplicate content in Google, which is bad for SEO

Some example code:

{paginate}
    {if abp_has_previous}
        <a class="next" href="{abp_previous_link}">&larr; prev</a>
    {if:else}
        <span class="atStart">&larr; prev</span>
    {/if}

    {abp_pages padding="2" initial_size="5"}

        {if abp_is_current}
            <span class="this-page">{abp_num}</span>
        {if:else}
            <a href="{abp_link}">{abp_num}</a>
        {/if}

    {/abp_pages}

    {if abp_has_next}
        <a class="next" href="{abp_next_link}">next &rarr;</a>
    {if:else}
        <span class="atStart">next &rarr;</span>
    {/if}

    <div class="results">({abp_total_entries} uploads)</div>
{/paginate}

Changelog:

1.6.1 - 2013-04-30

--------------------
* Fixed minor bug that affected users using query strings (ie. ?sort=desc)

1.5.9 - 2012-12-04
------------------

------------------
* EE 2.5 update (fallback to pager->sql if no count is provided)

Note; this only works in 2.4+ and you'll have to disable/reenable the extension to activate it

* Added support for {abp_query_string} tag which contain the query strings, if any (for this to work config param enable_query_strings in EE must be set to TRUE)
* Bugfix: when using the "initial_size" parameter one could get links to pages which didn't exist
