{absolute_results} Returning Wrong Number

kgrote 19 Apr 2013 17:17 question, complete

I have 5 "passed" entries that meet these tag parameters, but the "{absolute_results}" variable is returning the limit (3), not the total number of results (5):

 
 {exp:low_events:entries 
           channel='resources_webinars' 
           dynamic='no' 
           limit='3' 
           disable='categories|member_data|pagination' 
           search:webinars_featured='=not_featured' 
           search:webinars_recorded='not IS_EMPTY' 
           unit='passed' 
         } 
           {if count == 1} 
             <div class="heading clearfix"> 
               <h3>Recorded Webinars</h3> 
             </div><!--/.heading--> 

             <ul class="items webinars resetlist"> 
           {/if} 

           <li class="clearfix"> 
             <article> 
               <a href="{page_url}" class="preview"> 
                 <figure> 
                   {exp:ce_img:single  
                     src='{webinars_thumb}'  
                     width='210'  
                     height='100'  
                     crop='yes'  
                     allow_scale_larger='yes'  
                     alt='{title} preview' 
                   } 
                 </figure> 
               </a> 
               <div class="text clearfix"> 
                 <header> 
                   <h4><a href="{page_url}">{title}</a></h4> 
                 </header> 
                 <p>{webinars_summary}</p> 
                 <footer> 
                   <a href="{page_url}" class="btn-ui action">Watch Now</a> 
                 </footer> 
               </div><!--/.text--> 
             </article> 
           </li> 

           {if count == total_results} 
             </ul> 

             {if absolute_results > 3} 
               <p class="learn-more clearfix"><a href="{path='resources/webinars/recorded'}">View All Recorded Webinars &raquo;</a></a> 
             {/if} 
           {/if} 
         {/exp:low_events:entries}

   EE is quirky that way. You need to enable pagination and add an (empty) pagination var pair to get the correct value for {absolute_count}. The same is true for the native channel:entries tag.

   Wow, that's damned annoying. Thanks for the tip!

   I found that:
   
   

   {paginate}{/paginate}

   
   
   didn't work but:
   
   

   {paginate} {/paginate}

   
   
   did - i.e. you need a space (or a tab or a newline or any whitespace) between the two tags.
   
   Sheesh, EE. Sheesh.
