Hello to you,
I would strongly recommend you to use Alden Bates' plugin.
In order to make it very efficient in terms of publishing time and effort, you won't paginate all your posts, but limit the sub-pages to say 10, 15 or 20.
Don't imagine that somebody would ever go deeper than that.
I'm using it myself with excellent results and it allows you to also limit the number of pages displayed at once to whatever you want.
For my projects I'm limiting the display to 5 items, just as you've described above.
Kind Regards,
Mihai Bocsaru

tnx but there is no solution for that article that mt decided??i mean using movable type search engine and have somtiong like this
first ... 5 6 7 8 9 last next>>
I really don't like the MT search engine.
You should know that the search function isn't very efficient and quite demanding in terms of server CPU.
Alden's plugin is really a lot better.
yea, MT seriously need to work on dynamic publish more especially pagination. CMS platform without pagination solution is worthless. And default dynamic solution is a joke if you can't use MT tag variables.
They just tried to implement a pagination method and they did it dynamically, but that relies on the search function, which is quite demanding in terms of resources.
At this time, Alden's plugin is a lot better.
If movable type would redo the pagination concept so that it won't rely on the search function, then I would be glad to consider it for my projects.
Until then I am more than happy with Alden's solution.
Thanks,
Mihai
Thanks Guys for answer me
Alden's solution is great but have a small problem..is there any way to publish advertise in post 3 and 7 and 10 for example betwin entries??i just saw this functionality in MTPaginate and that MTPaginate also dont have somthing like 1 2 3 4 5...end next...i just dont know what should i do Mihai please any solution for this??
Yes, there is a way to do that!
You could use either the "__counter__" variable and check against various values (i.e. 3, 7 or 10).
i.e.
<mt:if name="__counter__" eq="3">
...
</mt:if>
Alternatively you could set a count variable and check against various values. When you use this concept, you might have to reset the count on the last entry, so that on the other sub-pages the counting would start over.
realy realy thanks Mihai
You're welcome!
