Hi,

Anyone knows how to make a next product and previous product button so that a user can navigate though the products without having to return to the main screen every time?

Thanks,
Guy

Interesting one...

I think that this is a fair amount of work and would involve getting another php file to provide the product ids within the database when you are at the product details page.

How would you propose the system deals with this? ie what defines the next product?

- Is it the next product listed in the database by product id
- The next product as defined by the position marker in that category (what happens at the end of a category?)
- The next product alphabetically.

If you can answer those I am sure that the code can be worked..

are you sure?

This is really useful, especially since some of us have tons of products listed. even a small thumbnail would be cool (40x40) in addition to next or previous.

anyone?

I would say the second one! 'The next product as defined by the position marker in that category'...and at the end of the category, just go back to the first product!


You think you this can be done i can really use this!
