Low Search and Stash

electriclabs 16 Apr 2012 14:47 question, complete

Hi Low,

I know you may tell me to sod off, but I'm having an issue with Low Search + Mark Croxton's Stash module.

I wanted to ask about the {absolute_results} tag. As far as I'm led to believe Stash just outputs the tags inside and stores them for later.

For example

{exp:stash:set parse_tags="yes"}
{stash:results_rows}
{exp:low_search:results query="{last_segment}" limit="10" disable="categories|member_data"}

{title}

{stash:absolute_results}{absolute_results}{/stash:absolute_results}

{/exp:low_search:results}
{/stash:results_rows}
{/exp:stash:set}

The result of absolute_results in this situation is 10. However, if I move the Low search tags outside of the stash tags, then I get the correct number of absolute results.

Could you maybe shed some light on perhaps why this tag would return a different number? Obviously, I understand if you just shout 'GO ASK MARK' at me.

Thanks,

Rob Hodges

   Hi Rob,
   
   So, you're sure this is an issue with LS in combination with Stash? Or can you reproduce it with LS only somehow?
   
   What about replacing the LS tag with a regular channel:entries tag -- does the same issue appear?

   Hi Low,
   
   I've cracked it. It wasn't actually anything to do with Stash, it was do with the fact that a channel entries tag (or a Low search tag) needs the {paginate}{/paginate} pair. Even if there are no tags inside it, it just needs that pair for absolute results to work.
   
   Now I need to get the last 2 hours of my life back :/
   
   Thanks,
