How to order Universal Module the same as fcpagenav?

Hi,

In fcpagenav - my problem is I don't see a way to limit by type or add custom fields - so I decided to to go with Universal Module (UM) to show the previous or next item. But I can't get UM to order in the same way. Is it possible?


I can't work out how to dynamically order by fcpagenav - so that it displays the previous or next item in relation to the page or menu:



The fcpagenav field can't be chosen:



The best I have found is Random per view but it doesn't show the right view.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Robert

Hello

fcpagenav field uses the ordering of category view, it does this by
- creating an instance of category model
- and then uses it to get all (ordered) items ids of the category view that linked to the item (up to 50000 items ids aka the query is fast)
(these are cached based on current URL)

Then it only needs to retrieve the full item data for only next / previous item

---

Universal module uses its own SQL query
matching the ordering of the category view with that of universal module is not easy in the general case

The best would be to create a new "scope" for universal module, "Next / Previous items of current view"
- which would use same code as fcpagenav field to retrieve all item ids (ordered) of the category view that linked to the item , aka using an instance of category model to get items ids
- and then using the normal query of universal module to get item data

Hi ggppdk,

Thanks for the detailed answer and I understand it better.

In this case, I will use the related field as its simpler and I'm only dealing with a few case studies.

I wrote a tutorial on customizing the related field as was struggling with how to use raw values:
