Pages List Server Behavior:
This behavior will allow you to navigate through a
recordset that contains a Repeat Region behavior or a Horizontal
Looper behavior. It should be used on pages that show only partial
recordsets. For instance, if your recordset returns 98 records,
and you've chosen 12 per page in a repeated region, or a 4 x 3 grid
in a Horizontal Looper behavior, you would have 9 pages of records.
By inserting a "Pages List" behavior, you would see the
pages as links:
1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 *
6 * 7 * 8 * 9
The delimiter that's used between the links is completely
user-defined and can be anything. Styles work with the links, as
well. Simply select the behavior in the Server Behaviors menu, or
the placeholder on the page, or the code in source view and apply
a style to it. The server behavior also has the ability to browse
for an image to use as a delimiter between the links, such as this:
1
2 3
4
5 6
7 8
9
To use the behavior you need to do the following:
1. Add your recordset to the page.
2. Add your database columns to the page and apply
a repeat region to them choosing the number of records that you
want displayed on each page.
3. Pick a spot on the page where you want Pages List to
appear and select Pages List from the Server Behaviors >>
DWTeam >> Recordset Navigation menu. You'll see the following
dialog box:
4. Choose the correct recordset from the dropdown
box.
5. Pick a delimiter that will appear between the links.
NOTE: If you want a space before and after the delimiter you should
add those here as well.
6. If you want something to appear before and after
the current page link, it should be filled in. By default, a <b> tag is applied around the current link. This allows the current link to be shown in bold. You can use a <strong> tag if you prefer, or any other code that you define..
7. Click Preview Refresh to see what your link looks
like.
8. If any changes need to be made, make the changes
and then click the Preview Refresh button once again to see what
the link will look like.
9. Click the OK button.
It is best to use the behavior inside of a layer or
table cell. You'll find that you can control the output of the link
list better that way.
If you find that you have too many page links on a
page, you can use the Pages List
Limited server behavior instead of the Pages List server
behavior.
