Hi Scott, Is it possible to implement the [PAGER] token (or any of the older paging tokens) in the Latest Articles module? That would help greatly. Rob

The difficulty with latest articles is that you can have many on the same page, so which one would it page? Most articles, trigger off an item in the url, this could be used, e.g. Page[TabModuleID]=1, but it isn't perfect because it would get reset when you click any other item on the page.

I see... I assumed that the paging happened within whichever module the pager was inside... just like with the main NA module's pager. I was hoping LA could page like the main one as this would go a long way towards helping the visitor browse to previous articles. Forgive my lack of developer skills again here, but it just seems to strange that a module can pull ten items from a database and display them, but it can't pull 20 out and display the first ten and then the next ten. It just seems like something a computer should be able to do. Like for example, I have Orizonti's RSS module, and that can page any number of items grabbed from any number of feeds. I presume it just caches a bunch of them and displays x at a time. Is there anything in that that would make this work? Sorry for going on about this. Rob
