link to previous entry on main index
December 29, 2002
This code snippet will give you one entry on your main page, with a link to the previous entry at the bottom.
<MTEntries lastn="1">
<MTDateHeader>
<$MTEntryDate format="%B %d, %Y"$>
</MTDateHeader>
<a name="<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>"></a>
<$MTEntryTitle$>
<$MTEntryBody$>
<MTEntryPrevious>
<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>">previously</a>
</MTEntryPrevious>
</MTEntries>
<MTDateHeader>
<$MTEntryDate format="%B %d, %Y"$>
</MTDateHeader>
<a name="<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>"></a>
<$MTEntryTitle$>
<$MTEntryBody$>
<MTEntryPrevious>
<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>">previously</a>
</MTEntryPrevious>
</MTEntries>
If you want to display more than one entry on your main page, use this instead:
<MTEntries lastn="15">
<MTDateHeader>
<$MTEntryDate format="%B %d, %Y"$>
</MTDateHeader>
<a name="<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>"></a>
<$MTEntryTitle$>
<$MTEntryBody$>
<MTEntriesFooter>
<MTEntryPrevious>
<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>">previously</a>
</MTEntryPrevious>
</MTEntriesFooter>
</MTEntries>
<MTDateHeader>
<$MTEntryDate format="%B %d, %Y"$>
</MTDateHeader>
<a name="<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>"></a>
<$MTEntryTitle$>
<$MTEntryBody$>
<MTEntriesFooter>
<MTEntryPrevious>
<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>">previously</a>
</MTEntryPrevious>
</MTEntriesFooter>
</MTEntries>
where 15 is the number of entries you want to display.
