previous_next is a blosxom plugin for adding links to the previous and next entries. this only applies when viewing and individual entry; when viewing a category or time-based url, it does nothing.

it's simple, but like the moreentries plugin, it gives you a way to navigate to entries that could otherwise be unreachable. it's probably a good complement to the moreentries plugin. it should maybe have a condtional template when there is no previous or next entry.
version 1.0 calculates the "previous" and "next" entries among all entries The sorting is simplistic, possibly different than Blosxom proper, and isn't sensitive to the date-based archives (e.g. /blosxom.cgi/2004/04/01/). The problem is that it's not easy to get access to a sorted list of stories at the filter() hook stage. This is a result of Blosxom design and therefore it's unlikely I'll do anything about it until Blosxom3.
the next, intermediate version is 2.718.1. it's not quite a formal release and probably needs some more work. it can sort forward or backward, by mtime, by filename, or not at all. it has some nice formatting options. it can consider all entries, or just the ones in the current directory. but it still doesn't play nicely with the sorting challenges noted above.
download 2.718.1 here. it can restrict by a given category depth, but this is hard to explain and maybe needs documentation changes. and it has some other weird pruning options that are probably "unuseful", for the reason that they often behave weirdly (correctly, but not necessarily usefully). i'd like it to sort "blosxom-wise" and toss the complicated pruning and sorting options. that will probably be version 3.0 and come out with blosxom 3.0.
