Page navigation element
A page navigation element provides navigation controls that are used to navigate through has a set of results generated by menus, navigators, personalization and search elements.A page navigation element can generate two kinds of page navigation controls:
- Shuttle controls provide navigation relative to the current page. This includes sequential linking to the previous or next page of results and quick linking to the first and last pages in the set.
- Paging controls provide navigation according to the page number of the result set. A list of page number links is displayed, along with a continuation link for access to the previous or next set of page numbers, if all page numbers are not displayed.
A page navigation element can combine both shuttle and paging controls, as in the following example.
Layout section: First Previous Continuation Page Numbers Continuation Jump to page Next Last Page size Navigation example: << < ... 4,5,6 ... Go to page: > >> Items to display: 10 | 50 | All When rendered the page navigation element might look like this:
Using the page navigation element in a remote rendering portlet
The page navigation element will not work when rendered in a remote rendering portlet that is configured to receive no links from other portlets. You must configure a remote rendering portlet to receive links either from "This portlet" or "Other portlets and this portlet" to use a page navigation element.
