hmmm.....Automatically add a link to the new page

[BabeWalls]

I have multiple pages in each section of my site which have numbers to each page at the top e.g 1 2 3 4 5. Each time I add a new page I have to go through every page and add the number of the page to the list e.g I would add the number 6 in this case.

This is very annoying when there sre lots of files which I have to do this to.

The names of the files are, a1.html, a2.html, a3.html, a4.html, a5.html and so on.
Is there anyway that when I upload a6.html this will be added to the list of page numbers automatically?

If your naming conventions are consistent you could have the script check to see if there are other files in the series.

have a look at http://www.propertyinvestor.co.nz/index.php and go to the current issue. At the bottom is a link to the previous issue. Click on that and you will get next and previous issue.

Go back far enough and you'll find months where we didn't get the web summary written and so there won't be a link.

Each time I know what the names should look like so I check for them. I even have two versions of most of the pages. .html pages won't get the links at the bottom and are less consistently managed so my script will check for a .htmf page and show that instead. If it found the .htmf version it knows to add the extra content.

I think that sound like what I am looking for.

So how do I do that?

I have never heard of the .htmf extension before. Will all servers support this and can I simply rename my .html files to .htmf?
