Removing links to previous and next post

[ajdinre]

Hi,

I've used your theme and I think this would be a good feature. In post Params, we can insert another value like cleanPage = true. This would be useful here:

<div class="pagination">
  {{if .Params.cleanPage}}
  <div></div>
  {{else}}
    {{if .PrevInSection}}
      <a class="pagination__item" href="{{.PrevInSection.Permalink}}">
          <span class="pagination__label">Previous Post</span>
          <span class="pagination__title">{{.PrevInSection.Title}}</span>
      </a>
    {{end}}

    {{if .NextInSection}}
      <a class="pagination__item" href="{{.NextInSection.Permalink}}">
        <span class="pagination__label">Next Post</span>
        <span class="pagination__title" >{{.NextInSection.Title}}</a>
      </a>
    {{end}}
    {{end}}
</div>

please note, there has to be something in the first part of the if statement.

I'd add just one variable called cleanPost to page parameters and that parameter would remove the pagination. This would be useful on pages like /about, /cv, /resources etc.

Edit: i just wanted to ask if this was an okay feature to add, I could make a PR for it.

@ajdintrejic I'd like to suggest a modification:

{{ if not .Params.cleanPage }}
  <div class="pagination">
    {{ if .PrevInSection }}
      <a class="pagination__item" href="{{ .PrevInSection.Permalink }}">
        <span class="pagination__label">Previous Post</span>
        <span class="pagination__title">{{ .PrevInSection.Title }}</span>
      </a>
    {{ end }}

    {{ if .NextInSection }}
      <a class="pagination__item" href="{{ .NextInSection.Permalink }}">
        <span class="pagination__label">Next Post</span>
        <span class="pagination__title" >{{ .NextInSection.Title }}</a>
      </a>
    {{ end }}
  </div>
{{ end }}

I haven't tested this locally, but I believe this should work. Let me know if it doesn't.

Another approach would be to conditionally display the pagination partial by updating single.html#L21 like so:

{{ partial "tags.html" .}}
{{ if not .Params.cleanPage }} {{ partial "post-pagination.html" .}} {{ end }}

I personally feel that using a parameter like pagination: true would be more self-explanatory, in which case: {{ if not .Params.cleanPage }} would be replaced by {{ if .Params.pagination }}

This is a great idea. There's a lot of opinions about the usefulness of pagination in blog posts these days. So thank you for bringing it up @ajdintrejic . I agree with the semantics proposed by @SanchithHegde :

{{ if .Params.pagination }} {{ partial "post-pagination.html" .}} {{ end }}

Would you be open to making a contribution @ajdintrejic ?

Thanks, I'll make changes and do a pr in couple of days.
