I read an old discussion about this issue but with no solution.

Currently, navigating between post goes through the post by their ID order, regardless of the category or any other parameter (tags? author? Combination of parameters?).

Anyway, staying within the same category is crucial and to my point of view, very reasonable... do I miss a setting somewhere?
Currently post navigation can only be made for team or author. It is not possible to have navigation restricted to category currently.

If you want to customize this, you can edit the following files,

/components/com_easyblog/views/entry/view.html.php in the method prepareNavigation
/administrator/components/com_easyblog/models/blog.php in the method getPostNavigation

Got it. Will work on it, though I believe that it is suppose to be a very basic parameter of the navigation...
Thanks for pointing to the files.
Please leave this thread open... I'll might post here my solution in case I'll decide to hack the core files. I'm sure there are other users who are looking for it.

Hey Emanuel,

We already have so many settings and adding even more settings would be extremely confusing

Yes Mark, the component and modules all together are complicated and it takes time to understand from which angle will be the best way to configure each feature, but at the same time it is as versatile as expected in most aspects which is one of the strengths of this package.

Still, if you have categories, what's the point of going to a next post in other category which might have no connection content wise... for example in my site there are many cooking posts, but also philosophy, recommendations, creativity and so on. There is a reason why they all sit in the same site, but if a user is choosing to read a specific category (by selecting a single category menu item) - it is very basic to provide him ONLY posts from that category...

Since I have much more urgent issues to take care of rather than hacking your core files, I decided to set the navigation option off globally, but I do think it is a good and important feature.

Thanks for replying. Always liked your support and willing to solve individual issues!
