EntryPrevious

A container tag providing a context for the entry immediately preceding the current entry (in terms of authored date).

Modifiers

• by_author (optional): can be set to true (1) to go to the previous Entry by the current author.
• by_category (optional): can be set to true (1) to go to the previous Entry in the current category.

Bug: In Movable Type 4.x there is a bug where if entries have the exact same date-time then the mt:EntryPrevious and mt:EntryNext container tags may skip an entry. This has been fixed in Movable Type 5.

Example

<mt:Entries>
    <mt:EntryTitle>
    <mt:EntryPrevious>
        The previous entry is:
        <a href="<mt:EntryPermalink>"><mt:EntryTitle></a>
    </mt:EntryPrevious>
</mt:Entries>
