getPage: Using images & text from next page in Navigation

I want to be able to use two of the tvs (thumbnail image and title text) from the next page in the sequence in my navigation.

An example of a page that uses the similar thing:
http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/photogallery/drew-and-andy

This is the page I am trying to do this on:
http://www.astrabridal.co.nz/article-test-3/

Here's the code

<li class="bottom"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">Next</a> <img src="[[tv.ArticleImage]]" width="70" class="imgborder"> [[+tv.ArticleHeading]] </li>

I have tried:
[[+tv.ArticleHeading]]
[[+ArticleHeading]]
[[*ArticleHeading]]

This is my getPage call:

[[!getPage@articlePaging?
&elementClass=`modSnippet`
&element=`getResources`
&parents=`[[*id]]`
&tpl=`list-article-thumb-tpl`
&limit=`1`
&pageVarKey=`page`
&includeTVs=`1`
&processTVs=`1`
&includeContent=`1`
&showHidden=`1`
&where=`{"template:=":28}`
&sortdir=`ASC`
&pageNavVar=`page.nav`
&sortby=`menuindex`

]]

Any help? Is what I want to do even possible?

This is the code, it was being stripped out:

I have also tried code][[+tv.ArticleImage]] and code][[+ArticleImage]]

Looks like the only issue I can see is with this code. It should be not as you have shown it. Good luck.

Hi Salscode, That's actually the first option I tried, and it definitely doesn't work.

I can't believe I didn't notice before. The way your getPage call is right now, it doesn't look like any resources will be displayed, so it is displaying your empty TPL. Change the begining of your getPage call to look like this:


(note &a=`b` is me being too lazy to copy all your parameters into my example)

And then see if your TPL is displayed or the message is displayed. If I am correct, you need to specify the &parents parameter or the &resources parameter to tell getPage which pages to get. Let us know how it goes and good luck.

Thanks for the help, but i'm not sure exactly what to change.

The getPage call is working fine & getting all of the pages. It's just the second set of pagination (page.nav) that is not working, and the two pieces that are not being displayed are the image and text from the NEXT page in the set. It might be that it's not even possible, or I just need to define it another way.

ok, I think what I am doing is on the wrong track. I think I am going to need some custom code to find the next page in the sequence and retrieve two of the TVs to display in my navigation. If anyone has done anything like this before, please let me know!
thanks

I just wrote one to do just this, excluding the TVs but that's easy enough. Let me get it packaged and posted to the extras. If you need it sooner I can send you a PM with a download link in the meantime.

The one I create takes several parameters including the doc tree resource ID to use as the starting point (parent resource ID by default) and then a chunk name to use as the output. It looks for the next and previous sibling of the current resource.

You can see how I used it on my blog for a working example.

Here is quick example of the snippet call:

hey thanks, a download link would be great. Rachel
