Paging Plugin

This is a special interaction plugin that allows you to integrate paging into templated content items (i.e. a Content Root Object that uses the template and items properties). In order to use this plugin, a corresponding content service must be implemented that processes the requested items (i.e. by evaluating the offset and limit parameters). The plugin can be used with version 0.1.82 or higher.

Usage

The plugin must be loaded with a content service URL that is able to evaluate the offset and limit parameters. Optionally, the requested limit can be indicated (by default, it is set to 20). Please see following action syntax examples.

• content:request:interaction:{URL}@http://msx.benzac.de/interaction/paging.html
• content:request:interaction:{URL}|{LIMIT}@http://msx.benzac.de/interaction/paging.html

The content service URL should contain the keywords {OFFSET} and {LIMIT}, which are replaced with the corresponding offset and limit values. Please see following action syntax examples.

• content:request:interaction:http://link.to.content?offset={OFFSET}&limit={LIMIT}@http://msx.benzac.de/interaction/paging.html
• content:request:interaction:http://link.to.content?offset={OFFSET}&limit={LIMIT}%7C40@http://msx.benzac.de/interaction/paging.html
