Can someone help me make this pagination auto cycle every 10 seconds?
demo: http://web.enavu.com/demos/paginate/
Okay, in order for it to cycle it should probably return to page 1 after page 10 right?
In order to be able to do that change:
function next(){
new_page = parseInt($('#current_page').val()) + 1;
//if there is an item after the current active link run the function
if($('.active_page').next('.page_link').length==true){
go_to_page(new_page);
}
}
to
function next(){
new_page = parseInt($('#current_page').val()) + 1;
//if there is an item after the current active link run the function
if($('.active_page').next('.page_link').length==true){
go_to_page(new_page);
[COLOR="Blue"]return true;[/COLOR]
}
[COLOR="Blue"]return false;
[/COLOR]}
(add the lines in blue)
Next, add a simple function called cycle:
function cycle()
{
if (!next()) set_page(1);
setTimeout('cycle', 10000);
}
And add this to the bottom of the script
setTimeout('cycle', 10000);
All done 
not tested
Hi ScallioXTX,
That doesn’t seem to work. It doesn’t bring up any errors… any ideas why that doesn’t work?
I am trying another method
setInterval("next()", 3000);
$("#page_navigation a").click(function(){
//if clicked stop rotating
clearInterval(inter);
});
The setInterval doesn’t stop when a pagination is clicked on… Also how can I setInterval on previous when next() reaches the last pagination?
Try this:

Hi, thanks for this but I cannot use it because I can’t add <div class=“page”> </div> round the lists I am using… The pagination I am using also changes it won’t always be 10 pages it could be 5 one day and a week later it might change to 7 pages…
You can make as many pages as you like, just wrap each page in <div class=“page”></div>
The script will automatically figure out how many pages there are and built the links to the individual pages accordingly.
What do you mean by a list? an <ul> ? You could break the <ul> apart in pieces and put each piece in it’s own <div class=“page”>
its one big list taken from an rss feed I can’t break it apart 
Okay, in that case we’d better continue with the code you already had.
I see I made a mistake in post #2. Please try and apply all changes there but replace
setTimeout('cycle', 10000);
with
setTimeout(cycle, 10000);
i.e. remove the ’ around “cycle”
Does that work?
The JS is now
function next(){
new_page = parseInt($('#current_page').val()) + 1;
//if there is an item after the current active link run the function
if($('.active_page').next('.page_link').length==true){
go_to_page(new_page);
return true;
}
return false;
}
function cycle()
{
if (!next()) set_page(1);
setTimeout(cycle, 2000);
}
setTimeout(cycle, 2000);
When I click on next it echos true in the browser and when it gets to the last item and I click next it echos false in the browser?
This kinda works but it is not perfect.
what does set_page(1) do?
can the cycle return to page 1 when it hits the last page and then start cycling again?
Why doesn’t the next button work?
Okay, remove the changes from the next() function (return true and return false).
sigh this is why I ‘dislike’ href=“javascript:doSomething()”> …
And then change the cycle function to this:
function cycle()
{
if($('.active_page').next('.page_link').length){
next();
} else {
go_to_page(1);
}
setTimeout(cycle, 2000);
}
OK excuse me if I am doing this wrong but it doesn’t cycle any more with the revised JS?
function next(){
new_page = parseInt($('#current_page').val()) + 1;
//if there is an item after the current active link run the function
if($('.active_page').next('.page_link').length==true){
go_to_page(new_page);
}
}
function cycle()
{
if($('.active_page').next('.page_link').length){
next();
} else {
go_to_page(1);
}
setTimeout(cycle, 1000);
}
You still need to put
setTimeout(cycle, 2000);
at the end to start cycling
Thats awesome thanks Scallio.
I started to piece together another way of tackling this… This is what I’ve done so far…
var pagination = $('#page_navigation a').size();
$("#page_navigation a:last-child").prev().addClass('last');
and now in simple terms this is what I had in mind
if pagination > 0 ( click .next_link every 10 seconds & when .last reset)
not sure how to actually get it to work… my jquery is not brilliant as you can see
Ah, but that is exactly what my cycle function does (the one in #11). Take a closer look at it
do you mean line 11?
No, I mean post number 11 of this thread. Sorry, should have made that more clear
