Introduction ------------ Pagebar adds a nice page bar for selecting indivual pages instead of just the previous or next page. After activation you have a nice navigation bar instead of the old "Previous page" and "Next page" links: Features -------- * Automatic insertion of pagebar on all pages (posts, search, tags, ...) * Works with nearly all plugins (Simple Tagging, UTW, ...) * Extremely customisable * Compatible with WP 2.1, WP 2.2, and WP nightly Installation ------------ Unpack the archive and copy the files into a directory called pagebar2 in your plugin directory (normally .../wp-content/plugins/). Copy the file "pagebar.css" into your theme's directory. That's it! Of course you may want to configure pagebar to your needs using the option page and by editing the pagebar.css style file (See "The CSS File"). The option page --------------- The option page allows you to tweak the pagebar to your needs. There are a number of predefined layouts which you can import. * Display Left Number of links displayed on the left of the bar. if this number is 0 no left links are displayed at all (see figure xxx). Right Number of links displayed on the left of the bar. if this number is 0 no left links are displayed at all (see figure xxx). Center The number of links displayed in the middle of the bar. This should be an odd number. If an even number is entered, pagebar will display one more link than entered. Leading text Text to be displayed in front of the bar. A space is automatically added after the text. First page Text to be displayed for the first page. If left empty, the page number is displayed. Last page Text to be displayed for the last page. If left empty, the page number is displayed. Connector Text to be displayed between the left/center and center/right area. If left empty, "..." is displayed. Previous Text to be displayed for the link to the previous page. If left empty, "<" is displayed. You can additionally define if the Previous link is always displayed, never displayed or if it done automatically. Next Text to be displayed for the link to the previous page. If left empty, "<" is displayed. You can additionally define if the Next link is always displayed, never displayed or if it done automatically. * Tooltips Tooltips Text to display in tooltips.
