function mycallback(json) {
for (var i = 0; i < json.feed.entry.length; i++) {
  for (var j = 0; j < json.feed.entry[i].link.length; j++) {
    if (json.feed.entry[i].link[j].rel == 'alternate') {
      var postUrl = json.feed.entry[i].link[j].href;
      break;
    }
  }
  var postTitle = json.feed.entry[i].title.$t;
  var item = '<ul><li><a href=' + postUrl + '>' + postTitle + '</a></li></ul>'; 
  document.write(item);
}
}
</script>
<button type="button">Prev</button>
<button type="button">Next</button>

This code display my total post link list. how to divide all post link into 5 link list and access all post link with next prev button


Solution

  • A easy solution would be to use a jQuery pagination library, like this one http://flaviusmatis.github.io/simplePagination.js/ for example. It creates a pagination and even styles it. In this Question (https://stackoverflow.com/a/20896955/1679286) the usage is explained a bit more in detail, if the project page isn't clear enough.

    Here a mini Demo (how it could work)

    var listInfo = {
      itemsOnPage:4,
      items:[]
     };
    
    function mycallback(json) {
      var tableContent = "";
    
      listInfo.itemsCount = json.feed.entry.length
    
      for (var i = 0; i < listInfo.itemsCount; i++) {
        var postTitle = json.feed.entry[i].title.$t;
        for (var j = 0; j < json.feed.entry[i].link.length; j++) {
          if (json.feed.entry[i].link[j].rel === 'alternate') {
            var postUrl = json.feed.entry[i].link[j].href;
            break;
          }
        }
        tableContent += '<tr><td><a href=' + postUrl + '>' + postTitle + '</a></td></tr>'; 
      }
      
      $("#recentPost").html(tableContent);
      listInfo.items = $("#recentPost tr");
      
      console.info(listInfo)
      $("#pagination").pagination({
          items: listInfo.itemsCount,
          itemsOnPage: listInfo.itemsOnPage,
          cssStyle:"light-theme",
          onPageClick: function(pageNumber) {
                var from = listInfo.itemsOnPage * (pageNumber - 1);
                var to = from + listInfo.itemsOnPage;
                listInfo.items.hide()
                     .slice(from, to).show();
            }
      })
      .pagination('selectPage', 1);
    
    }
    
    
    $.ajax({
        url: "https://techtovillage.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=published&max-results=16&alt=json-in-script",
        jsonp: "callback",
        dataType: "jsonp", 
        success: function( response ) {
            mycallback(response);
        }
    });
    <link href="https://rawgit.com/flaviusmatis/simplePagination.js/master/simplePagination.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
    
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://rawgit.com/flaviusmatis/simplePagination.js/master/jquery.simplePagination.js"></script>
    
    
    <h2>Recent Post</h2>
    <table id="recentPost">
    </table>
    <div id="pagination"></div>

    Optional: Another solution that is not 100% save, since order of the post could change, would be not loading all post using the query parameter start-index mentioned in the google References https://developers.google.com/gdata/docs/2.0/reference#Queries

    Creating this link:
    https://techtovillage.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=published&max-results=5&start-index=1&alt=json-in-script&callback=mycallback
    And adjusting the code to change to only load the current posts, with Ajax calls (jQuery JSONP or so), so that the start-index is incremented / decremented by 5 depending on the Button/Link that was clicked
