The current "prev and next" feature in 2.2 works, but it only ever
allows me to go back one entry at a time. Ideally, I'd like to see
something like the following:
1. If the user is viewing more than one day (for example, the default
view with 15 entries), the "prev" link will take then to the previous
X number of entries (ideally X is the same number as is currently
shown).
Currently, if you are looking the default view the previous link will
take you to the previous day view. I don't think this is ideal, but
we haven't yet introduced an offset for paging through blog entries
within a blog.
2. If the user is viewing a particular day, "prev" takes them to the
previous day. This one might be tricky since YYYYMMDD shows a
particular day at the top and previous days below it. This one should
probably operate like #1.
That's how it works now (on my blog and blogs.sun.com blogs).
3. When viewing a single entry, clicking "prev" navigates one entry at
a time. This might not even make sense as clicking "prev" and seeing
the previous entry at the top of a long list of entries is desireable.
I'd prefer to keep single entry view, with next and prev that go to
single entry pages. That's how other systems work and it's cache
friendly because single entry pages are small.
Also, I'd like to contribute a version of my new theme to Roller.
Should I simple check it into "themes" or should it go into the
support project?
If the new theme does not use LGPL, then I'd vote for Roller "themes"
