I'm using the following on the single.php template file for post navigation:

<?php next_post_link('%link', '<img src="/images/next.gif" width="75" height="21" border="0">', FALSE); ?>

Works fine, but what I actually want to do is insert <?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?> before the /images/next.gif.

I know I can't simply do:

<?php next_post_link('%link', '<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/next.gif" width="75" height="21" border="0">', FALSE); ?>

So hook can someone hook me up with the right format please? I don't want to learn php I just want to finish this damn template I started. :P

Why don't you just insert the URL of your template's directory?

ie:

<?php next_post_link('%link', '<img src="http:// www . domain . com /wp-content/ themes/ template/ images/ next.gif" width="75" height="21" border="0">', FALSE); ?>

Yes that will work of course, however I've painfully learned to do everything correctly while building my first theme and since everywhere else all the links and what not are dynamic, I'd kind of like to learn how to do this properly too.

What about:

<?php next_post_link('%link', '<img src="' . bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/next.gif" width="75" height="21" border="0">', FALSE); ?>

Tried it but it doesn't work, it just outputs the template_directory but doesn't work with the link. Must have something to do with the wordpress function its self.

Anyone else?

try

Code:

<?php 
$image = '<img src="'.bloginfo("template_directory").'/images/next.gif" width="75" height="21" border="0">';

next_post_link('&#37;link', $image, FALSE); ?>

Unfortunately that does the same thing as the earlier code. There's something peculiar about this Wordpress function.

Anyone familiar with it?

Boobs · 12-18-2007, 12:20 PM

<?php next_post_link('%link', '<img src=<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/next.gif width=75 height=21 border=0>', FALSE); ?>

Boobs · 12-18-2007, 12:21 PM

possibly the " " symbols were messing it up ?

TommySoprano · 12-18-2007, 01:35 PM

Use this instead:

<?php next_post_link('%link', '<img src="' . get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/next.gif" width="75" height="21" border="0">', FALSE); ?>
