Part One: Change 2nd, 3rd, etc Ads paging to "View more Ads"

This is a TWO PART Tutorial! Make sure to read BOTH POSTS Part One & Part Two

Some people have wanted ClassiPress 3.1.6 pagination to keep saying "View more Ads" INSTEAD of numbers. So that what would be "www.lookatmycuteads.com/ads/page/2/" & "www.lookatmycuteads.com/ads/page/3/" have nothing in the pagination link but "View more of my fantastically fascinating Ads!"

To achieve this gloriously wondrous effect I played around today with ClassiPress 3.1.6 and got it by modding the existing Ads paging function in the appthemes-functions.php file.

So, what I decided to do was to take the existing "appthemes_pagination" function and COPY it -- all of it -- and pasted it back in to the End of the appthemes-functions.php file with a rename of the function to this:

function appthemes_pagination_special($before = '', $after = '')

that "_special" addition now separates it from the existing appthemes pagination function called function appthemes_pagination($before = '', $after = '')

What this appthemes_pagination_special will do is to show a "<< See previous Ads" when you are on ads/page/2 and a "See more Ads >>" that points to ads/page/3

When you get to the last page all you will see is the "<< See previous Ads" link to go back.

The one thing that will be in effect, though, is that when you return to the very First page of Ads that a User started with on the Home page, for instance, you will not be on the Home page, you will be at simply http://www.lookatmycuteads.com/ads/

IF that works for you, here is the block of modified code for appthemes_pagination_special

ADD THE FOLLOWING to the End of appthemes-functions.php file when you have reached the very last line past all of these bracket babies : }
