Re: [VuFind-Tech] Next record

[Mark T. <mt...@nl...>]

I'd hoped nobody would notice :o)  Personally I prefer to open a bunch
of records in tabs, but popular opinion here eventually won out so we
added the next/previous buttons to the record view.

The approach we took was pretty simplistic: we just pass the original
search string, the page of results and the number of the result they
clicked, and just repeat the original search every time they click the
'next' or 'previous' link, jumping them to a particular record in the
result set.  We could have been cleverer and cached a list of docids,
but the naïve implementation was fast enough so we didn't bother.

I'm not really sure it was worth uglifying the pristine record URLs, but
such is life...

Cheers,

Mark
