Matrix Version:
Hey Squiz folk
Just wondering whether anyone has used the “%asset_sibling_prev_type_1%” and “%asset_sibling_next_type_1%” keywords but with conditions?
What I’m trying to do is rather than return the next sibling based on asset map > return the next sibling based on most recent published. I’m guessing Using SSJS?
Please note each page where I want this navigation to happen does have a paint layout applied.
Cheers

You can’t really use those keywords, unless you automatically sort your asset tree to the published date on assets? You could enforce that using the Sort Asset Children trigger https://matrix.squiz.net/manuals/triggers/chapters/trigger-actions#sort-asset-children
Alternatively you’d need to source in an asset listing that lists the parent’s children, sorts it by published date, finds the current asset in the list to then figure out the prev and next links, all using SSJS, but could cause a slow page load if the asset listing has to load lots of assets to figure this out. Could also load this via ajax if needed.
Hello NickyP,
I’ve used the as_asset keyword modifier with these keywords…
example
sorry I can’t figure out how to paste code into this forum without it fucking up

Thanks Aleks,
That’s how I normally use that keyword but good to know how to use the else statement to get back to the parent, clever!
Cheers
