Can't get pagination to work

owe 10 Jan 2012 15:10 problem, complete

Hi,

How do I set which page to show results for? I only get results for the first page, no matter which page I click on.

   Which add-on are we talking about, here? EE, PHP and add-on versions? Got a code example?

   Oh. Sorry. Low GoogleSearch.
   
   I suspect it may have something to do with freebie? Low GoogleSearch doesn't find the pagination segment because freebie has removed it?

3. Low 10 Jan 2012 15:36

   It might well be a Freebie thing. Low GoogleSearch looks at the current URI for a Pn segment (where n is a number). I'm not familiar with Freebie, but if it changes the URI internally, then that could cause trouble, yes.

   It does change the URI internally, so what I was hoping for was a secret parameter to pass in the segment manually. Something like pagination="{freebie_3}", where {freebie_3} is the segment that was removed internally. There is no such thing i guess?

   There's the start="" parameter, but you'd need to filter out the P, which you could probably do with PHP in your template.

   Ah, okey. Excellent! Thanks a lot!

   That doesn't seem to work though? start="10" still shows me page 1.

8. Low 10 Jan 2012 16:19

   Does it work if you hardcode the start="" param? Also, try a different number, like 2 or 3.

   Of course it does. Stupid me :-) I parsed the PHP on the output. I'll figure this out somehow, but the most elegant solution would be to pass in the segment using freebie. Would you consider adding such a parameter in the future? Then I could do something like pagination_seg="{freebie_3}"

    I'll look into just stripping the P from the start="" parameter automatically. That would have the same effect.
    
    For now, you could also use Low Replace to strip out the P from the pagination links, so you end up with just a number in the url, which you can feed to the start="" param. Something like this:
    
    

    {exp:low_replace find="\/P(\d+)" replace="/$1" regex="yes"} 
       <!-- pagination code --> 
     {/exp:low_replace}
