Hi,
I am a magazine publisher and we want to add a special section to out website where we will publish contents of a magazine issue. What I like to add to my page is a "Custom Paging" - and I need some help or at least an initial hint how to create it with Toolset.
What I have: Custom Fields like "issue", "page_from" and "page_to" (instead of the field "issue" I even better like to use a Custom Taxonomy to mark a post belonging to a certain issue there. But for maybe an easier start let's assume we have all needed data for a post in the group of custom fields mentioned above...
Now I want to to add a "magazine page navigation" which works like this:
* If I am on a post that has the values e.g.: issues = 2023, page_from = 10, page_to = 12 (means the printed story = post starte on page 10 and reached till page 12. In WordPress all the contents from the three pages are in this one post...)
* Now there should be two buttons like "previous page" and "next page"
* previous page should link to a post with custom field values: issues = 2023, page_to = 9
* next page should link to a post with custom field values: issues = 2023, page_from = 13
How can I do this?
Some hints would be more than welcome!
Kind regards, Martin
Hello,
There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, you might consider custom codes, for example below similar thread:

You can get the custom fields with WordPress function get_post_meta():
