You could do:

<v:if path="next()">
<v:section path="next()">
Next: <v:a><v:text path="name" /></v:a>
</v:section>
</v:if>
<v:else>
<v:section path="/collection_name">
First: <v:a><v:text path="name" /></v:a>
</v:section>
</v:else>

... that would wrap it back to the first. Make sense?

That worked like a charm, here's the final implementation for anyone else looking to do this:


<nav class="pagination">
<v:if path="prev()">
<v:section path="prev()">
<v:a rel="prev"><v:text path="name" /></v:a>
</v:section>
</v:if>
<v:else>
<v:collection path="/employees" limit="1" order="DESC()">
<v:a rel="prev"><v:text path="name" /></v:a>
</v:collection>
</v:else>

<v:if path="next()">
<v:section path="next()">
<v:a rel="next"><v:text path="name" /></v:a>
</v:section>
</v:if>
<v:else>
<v:collection path="/employees" limit="1">
<v:a rel="next"><v:text path="name" /></v:a>
</v:collection>
</v:else>
</nav>


While we're on the subject of collections, is there a way to know the current position of the current context in relation to its parent? I'd like to print the index of each item in a list. Also I'd like to know when I'm processing the last item in a collection.

I'm still struggling trying to find the current item position in a collection loop, so far I'm using the following ugly PHP hack:

<v:php>
$context->position = $position = $position ? $position + 1 : 1;
</v:php>


Does anyone know if there's another way to retrieve the current items position for something like a highscore list?
