Calendar Page asset and next prev event navigation

Squiz Matrix General Discussion
1

Hi all,

 

I have created a calendar page and have been able to set the month listings to display the events for that month.  These than link to the event.

 

Is there a way to set the pages so that selecting an event so it will open the page with navigation to the next and prev events, dive from month view to day view and then go from event one to event two.

 

I have been able to set the month view to display the assets listed as i would like but I have had to use a paint layout for the event view.  This paint layout does not allow for next prev buttons using any of the replacement keywords (prev_link).  As you find in wordpress or similar blogging platforms (and I don't want to use them).

 

I would like to have a next article navigation option.  The examples i have seen so far have just been the event pages and no additional navigation (go back to list and find the next event).

 

I have considered using a nested asset listing but not sure how I might be able to use the current asset to do this?

 

Kind regards

If you used an asset listing for the events and set a maximum of 1 asset per page of the listing, doesnt the asset list then provide next page and previous page keywords that would navigate you through them? In terms of switching from month view to day view, if I remember correctly most of the date navigation for the Squiz calendar is based on a fairly human-readable GET parameter that specifies which date you want to display , so you can predict what the URL needs to be add your own links to a page to jump to the relevant day / month as needed.

 

Hope that makes sense!
