Add rel="prev" to previous_posts_link() and rel="next" to next_posts_link()

[singpolyma]

Putting proper rel values on archive next/previous links is actually not even properly possible with a plugin, so I had to use a patch

​http://gist.github.com/120586

Really this should (IMHO) all go into core

What version is this patch against?

22. 2.8 already generates some rel links of this type: prev (post), next (post), home, index.

See: ​http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8703

this seems very invalid to me

#8703 added next/prev/home for single browsing, But not for archive browsing.

/archive/2009/05/ should have a next for /archives/2009/06/ etc.

I'm pretty sure thats what this ticket is asking for.

See #4209

I'm closing this as a duplicate of #4209. Also, the code in that github link is not a good patch as it could add a duplicate rel= attribute to the link. The patch in #4209 checks for this.

[mtekk]

I guess I should really pay more attention to things. #4209 and this cover different things (previous_post_link() vs previous_posts_link() and the next equivalents). I'm reopening and I'll have a patch soon.

[mtekk]

This is my first go at adding in the rel="next" and rel="prev". There is probably a better/faster way of doing this.

[miqrogroove]

This needs to hit similar functions such as previous_image_link() and next_image_link()

[singpolyma]

Replying to mtekk:

Also, the code in that github link is not a good patch as it could add a duplicate rel= attribute to the link. The patch in #4209 checks for this.

I'm very aware that the patch+plugin I posted is a hack and not an actual solution.
