Hi again,

Another question: I want to add a next product/previous product button to the shop (per category, on the 'see details' page, so that a user can easily browse my product database... I'm sure this has to be possible, but I really don't know how.

Hope someone can help me.

Hey, Im not sure how this code would need to be modified or where it would need to go, But I did find something that might help a little

Function next2prev($count) {
	global $offset, $limit;
	if($count == 0) {
		echo "

There are no messages to display.";
		exit;
	}
	$prev = $offset - 10;
	$newoffset = $offset + 10;
	if($offset == 0) { // am I on the first page yet?
		// I think I am :)
		if($newoffset < $count) {
			echo "<font style=\"font-family: verdana; font-size: 9pt; color: #ffffff; cursor: default;\">Previous</font> | ";
			slacker_link("$PHP_SELF?BID=$BID&offset=$newoffset", 'Next');
			echo "

";
		} else {
			echo "<font style=\"font-family: verdana; font-size: 9pt; color: #ffffff; cursor: default;\">Previous</font> | <font style=\"font-family: verdana; font-size: 9pt; color: #ffffff; cursor: default;\">Next</font>";			
		}
	}  else if($newoffset >= $count) { // am I on the first page?
		// looks like Im not
		// a prev link needs to be generated here
                slacker_link("$PHP_SELF?BID=$BID&offset=$prev", 'Previous');
		echo " | <font style=\"font-family: verdana; font-size: 9pt; color: #ffffff; cursor: default;\">Next</font>";
		echo "

";
	} else if($offset >= $limit) { // am I there yet?
		slacker_link("$PHP_SELF?BID=$BID&offset=$prev", 'Previous');
		echo " | ";
		slacker_link("$PHP_SELF?BID=$BID&offset=$newoffset", 'Next');
		echo "

";
	}
}
