Where are you expecting to see the character appear? It’s tempting to believe it will divide up the page numbers, but that ain’t what it does:
&paginateSplitterCharacter
Purpose: Character to split ’previous’ and ’next’ links when &paginateAlwaysShowLinks is off and both links are there
Values: Character (or string)
Default: `|`
Notes: Prevents links showing as ’< Previous Next >’ when [+pages+] is not being used
If you want to separate the links to each page, the parameters required are
&tplPaginatePage and
tplPaginateCurrentPage, e.g. this in your Ditto call
&tplPaginatePage=`pageSplitter` &tplPaginateCurrentPage=`currentPageSplitter`
and this as chunks called pageSplitter
<a href='[+url+]'>[+page+]</a> |
and currentPageSplitter
Quite a rigmarole for what looks as if it should be so simple! I’m indebted to
De Ribas over in the Russian forum, who explained this in a reply to someone else - previously, I had thought there was no parameter to set a character to display between the page numbers. (
Note to self: must update relevant Pogwatch page Done),
