Examples/Parameter: titlelt (example 2)

Please do not edit this page unless you're wanting to edit the manual itself, it is an example included in the manual.

Example

This example creates navigation between pages in Category:Fruit examples, by combining three templates: {{previous}}, {{next}}, and {{navigation}}.

Previous Content

The {{previous}} template contains content similar to:

{{#dpl:
|category={{{category|}}}
|namespace=
|titlelt={{PAGENAME}}
|mode=inline
|ordermethod=title
|order=descending
|count=1
|format=,<div style="text-align:left;">[[File:Double arrow left.png|25px|link=%PAGE%|alt=<]] [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]</div>,
}}

{{{category|}}} allows a category parameter value to be passed to DPL3 to select pages from a specific category, in the default (blank) namespace, whose title is before/previous (alphabetically) to the current page title (without Namespace). Inline formatting is used, ordered by title in descending order, displaying only 1 result, and using an arrow image with page title beside it, both linked to the previous page title.

Next Content

The {{previous}} template contains content similar to:

{{#dpl:
|category={{{category|}}}
|namespace=
|titlegt={{PAGENAME}}
|mode=inline
|ordermethod=title
|order=descending
|count=1
|format=,<div style="text-align:left;">[[File:Double arrow left.png|25px|link=%PAGE%|alt=<]] [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]</div>,
}}

Functions the same as the {{previous}} template, only |titlegt={{PAGENAME}} fetches the page title after/next (alphabetically) to the current page title (without Namespace).

Navigation Content

The {{previous}} template contains content similar to:

{| style="width:100%; border:1px solid lightgrey; background:#e9f4f9;"
|style="width:40%;"|{{previous|category={{{category|}}}}}
|style="width:20%; text-align:center;"|[[:Category:{{{category|}}}|{{{category|}}}]]
|style="width:40%;"|{{next|category={{{category|}}}}}
|}

This template formats a navigation bar, and calls the {{previous}} and {{next}} DPL3 templates in the first and last columns of a 3 column table. The {{{category|}}} parameter passes the |category=Fruit examples value (see next section) to both the {{previous}} and {{next}} templates, which then feed it to the DPL3 statement in each template. The middle column is used to link to the specified category page.

Combined use on-page

The navigation template is used on a page and passes the Fruit examples category name as follows:

{{navigation|category=Fruit examples}}
