My newest stumbling block?next & previous

[darnoldy]

Okay... so I want to put rel = next and rel=prev link tags into the head of pages that need them. "easy peasy," says I... the logic and links to those pages is already there in the pagenav template.

So, I copied out the pagenav template and, form what it contained, built this:

  <if condition="$show['prev']">
    <link rel="prev" href="$address$address2<if condition="$prevpage != 1">&amp;page=$prevpage</if><if condition="$anchor">#$anchor</if>">
  </if>
 <if condition="$show['next']">
    <link rel="next" href="$address$address2&amp;page=$nextpage<if condition="$anchor">#$anchor</if>">
  </if>

Which I then pasted into the head of the forumdisplay template.

"Done and dusted," says I, smuggly! But alas, it doesn't work.

$address
$address2
$prevpage
$nextpage

are empty!

It seems as though those values aren't fetched until $pagenav is called later in the template. Is this a job for a plugin?
