next project link

on my site, karenmessing.com there are 3 pages that contain multiple posts. i am building a child theme using thematic.

i need help fixing the next project link that appears on each individual post page, ex: http://karenmessing.com/?p=55.
i want the next project to link to the next post within that category, for example from http://karenmessing.com/?p=55 i want the next project to link to this post
http://karenmessing.com/?p=27

at the last post in the category i would like the "next project" link to be "print projects" (to link to the next page posts).

      this is my single.php code

      <?php

foreach ($options as $value) {
      
    if (get_option( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) { $$value['id'] = $value['std']; }
      
    else { $$value['id'] = get_option( $value['id'] ); }
      
    }
      
?>
      
<?php get_header() ?>
      

      
	<div id="container">

    This should work:

    <?php next_post_link('%link', 'Next Project', true); ?>


    Later Edit: more precise

    
<div class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link('%link', ' <span class="meta-nav">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>', true) ?></div>

<div class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link('%link', ' <span class="meta-nav">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>', true) ?></div>


      Note that if the post is the last in it's category, the link will not show. Also if it's the first previous will not show. Hope that helps.

      karenmessing says:


      which file did you edit?

      the last post on the page doesnt link to the next page.
      ex:
      http://karenmessing.com/?p=578
      should say "WEB PROJECTS" where "NEXT PROJECT" appears on the other posts.

      i edited the single.php and i'll be able to do this for in 5 minutes from now

    • 02/17/10 2:52pm

      Erez S says:

      okay,i fixed this,now you need to edit three classes to your css :
      web-projects , print-projects , identity-projects
      each one is for the links to the categories on the last page in the category

      karenmessing says:

      i see the changes but the print projects identity projects and web projects do not link to their respective pages.
      print projects should link to this page http://karenmessing.com/?page_id=68 etc

      Erez S says:

      ok,i added the links,now you need to style them with css
