Pagination - have set limit per page but want total capped items or page number limit

[Ivo]

Hi All,

Is there a simple way to add a pagination page limit or total item count limit  to a pagination? 

It's for a recipe site (latest recipes) where I would like to limit the total item count to say 24 or 4 paginated pages of 6 items.

Code is as follows ($page->latest set to 6)

$items = $pages->find("template=recipe, limit=$page->latest, sort=-modified");

$pagination = $items->renderPager();

  foreach ($items as $item) {

display recipe..etc...

}

 

 

I tried truncating the $items array but to no avail.

 

cheers,

Ivo

You can fake the PageArray, that the pagination is based on. 

$pa = new PageArray();
$pa->setTotal($total)->setLimit($limit)->setStart($start);
$pager = $this->modules->get('MarkupPagerNav');
$pagination = $pager->render($pa);
