previous_post_link question

Thinking about it could i do another query_posts() with offset within the main loop get the permalink?

OK

I have somewhat of a solution using some code i stole from eric martin it is:

$img = "<img src=\"/image/galleries/" . $catnicename . "/" . $image ."\"  alt=\"" . get_the_title() . "\" />";

		/**
		 * New function that will display the navigation only if a previous or next entry exists
		 * Hint: For entries, next == newer and previous == older
		 */
	function post_navigation() {
			global $checkthelink;
			$older = theme_previous_post_link('%link', '? %title');

			if(strlen($older) > 0) {
				$checkthelink = 1;
			} 

			return $checkthelink;
		}

		/**
		 * Overrides the WordPress previous_posts() function in link-template.php
		 * Modification: Changed echo to return
		 */
		function theme_previous_posts() {
			return clean_url(get_previous_posts_page_link());
		}

		/**
		 * Overrides the WordPress previous_post_link() function in link-template.php
		 * Modification: Changed echo to return
		 */
		function theme_previous_post_link($format='? %link', $link='%title', $in_same_cat = TRUE, $excluded_categories = '') {

				$post = get_previous_post($in_same_cat, $excluded_categories);

			if ( !$post ) {
				return;
			} else {
			$format = 1;

			return $format;
			}
		}

		post_navigation();

	if ($checkthelink != 1) {
		echo $img;
	} else {
		previous_post_link('%link', $img, TRUE);
	}

thats as small as i can get it but im sure it could be more efficient, anyone can they help?

Hi,

Did you get any answer to this?

I want to show Previous_post_link() and next_post_link() immediately below the title, according to my design. But this code yields nothing:

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<span class="titlenav">
  <span class="prv"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?></span>
  <span class="nxt"><?php next_post_link(' %link &raquo;') ?></span>
</span>

<a id="content"></a>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<span class="date"><?php the_date(); ?> / <a href="<?php trackback_url(); ?>" rel="trackback">Trackback</a>
</span>

<div class="entry">
<?php the_content(); ?>

<div class="singlestuff">
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=f00c9af2-22dc-4ca6-aea9-c9a255b12f81&type=website"></script>
<br /><?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p><br />', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
<?php the_tags( '<span class="tags">Tags: ', ', ', '</span>'); ?>

<div class="navigation">
<span class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?></span>
<span class="alignright"><?php next_post_link(' | %link &raquo;') ?></span>
</div>

</div>

</div>
</div>

<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>

		<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

The funny bit is that the second time previous_post_link() is called in the “div class=navigation”, it does show up, but it doesn’t show up earlier than the_content(). Is this a bug? Will previous_post_link only show up after the content?
