SS Version 7

Anyone know where the layout info (span class and   spacing etc.) is
stored for Pagination? Is it a .aa file or cgi and what is the name?
Even
if it's a cgi, what is the name and where is it located?

Thanks.

Is there anyone who knows if it is possible to change the way Pagination
displays the links across a page. In other words get rid of the NOBREAK TAG.
What a pain it is. The way it's set up now requires a user to scroll
horizontal to navigate all links. We have some product categories that have
as many as 30 pages due to 1000's of products in that category. Pagination
uses NOBREAK TAGS between each link preventing the string of links from
wrapping. You have to scroll across the screen to get to all the links. I
would think that allowing the link string to just wrap naturally when
reaching the end of a users screen would have been the best default choice.
Any ideas. This bites because it destroys the entire site format by
spreading the site design out to fit all of the links.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I don't think that it can be changed in version 7. If there is a style
defined for it you should be able to see it in the source of a page that
has the links.

In Version 7.1 there is an option to set how many links are displayed at
a time. So if you have 30 pages you could have it display 5 links at a
time with prev and next on each side of the links. Here is an example
of what it will look like.
PrevSet Prev 3 4 5 6 7 Next NextSet
Clicking on Prev or Next would tke you to the Previous/next page and
clicking on PrevSet or NextSet would skip to the next group of 5.

The PrevSet, NextSet, Prev and Next could be replaced with images if you
would like them to be more artistic.

Since there is no charge for upgrades from 7.0 to 7.1 you may want to
talke to your hosting provider to see about upgrading.

That's exactly what I need! My ISP *just* (as in earlier this afternoon)
upgraded our store from 7.0 to 7.1.1 -- I've been poking around but I
haven't been able to find where to set this option. Forgive me please if
this is a dumb question, but where do I find that setting?
