If you are having some trouble with Joomla`s Pagenavigation plugin not working on your Joomla 2.5 site it is most likely your Template that has not been update. The best to do would be to wait for an updated version of your template to use on Joomla 2.5 or you could update your template as shown below.

 

Navigate to and open:

templates\template_name\html\com_content\article\default.php

Find these lines:

Add these lines after the lines mentioned above:

Then find this line on the bottom of the file:

<?php echo $this->item->text; ?>

Add these lines above that line:

Then find this line at the bottom of the file:

<?php echo $this->item->event->afterDisplayContent; ?>

Check to make sure there are no other lines around it talking about pagenavigation or pagination.

Then add these line above the afterDisplayContent line.

You should now be able to see the navigation and you should be able to set it to display on top or below the content.

    1. Hi Merovingio,

      Glad you found my post about Pagenavigation not showing in Joomla!

      I would not be able to know where that line should go without seeing the theme files, I would suggest trying to place some code at different positions until you get it exactly where you want it.

      Peace

  • I am trying to activate the page navigation for my category of “Past Shows” so that you can navigate from one past show to the next (see it under “History” – “Past Shows” and then click on a past show link. I can’t seem to figure out how to activate it (I am new to joomla).

    We just updated our site to Joomla 2.5 using the Artisteer 3.1 template (designed for Joomla 2.5).

    I’m thinking I just don’t know how to activate it correctly, but I have it turned “on” and turned navigation on in a few articles, but nothing is displaying. Help appreciated!
