How to do pages on a theme?

[OpenBayou]

Hello,

How do you do pages on a template? For example, I want my template to show only 5 posts. If there's more, do page=2. Search results I found results in errors on my end.

// posts from the parent page. Only show 5 posts
<?php foreach($pages->find("parent=recommendations,limit=5") as $child) { ?>


            <?php echo $child->title;?><br />


        <?php } ?>

Is there a way to remove the page numbers in-between next and prev?

Hiding them by CSS (display: none)?

It's not really good practice because it still loads the data and your browser is hiding it.

I couldn't get it to work. When I got it to work it either shows the next post or array, not page2.

I don't think you should worry about those extra characters in the markup.

Thanks everyone. Got it working but don't like how complex it is to do next page and previous page while other CMSs have an easy option.

<?php $total_pages = ceil($pagedata->getTotal() / $limit);?>


		<?php if($total_pages > 1): $current_url = $page->url; if($input->urlSegmentsStr) $current_url .= $input->urlSegmentsStr . '/'; ?>
		  <div class="pagination">
		      <?php if($input->pageNum > 2): ?>
						<div class="prev-page">
							<a rel="prev" href="<?= $current_url . $config->pageNumUrlPrefix . ($input->pageNum - 1) ?>">Prev page</a>
						</div>
		      <?php elseif($input->pageNum === 2): ?>
						<div class="prev-page">
							<a rel="prev" href="<?= $current_url ?>">Prev page</a>
						</div>
		      <?php else: ?>
		      <?php endif; ?>
		      <?php if($input->pageNum < $total_pages): ?>
						<div class="next-page">
							<a rel="next" href="<?= $current_url . $config->pageNumUrlPrefix . ($input->pageNum + 1) ?>">Next page</a>
						</div>
		      <?php else: ?>
		      <?php endif; ?>
		  </div>
		<?php endif; ?>

It's as complex as building such things on your own elsewhere. We have an easy pagination generating module, which just happens to lack an option to render just next/prev links instead of a full pagination. I'm sure Ryan could add those quite easily.

Also may I suggest a more readable version of yours. Things are always easier to digest when they're not muddled with html tags.

<?php
	$next = $prev = '';
	$total_pages = ceil($pagedata->getTotal() / $limit);

	if($input->pageNum > $total_pages) // Optional; For page 11 of 10
		throw new Wire404Exception();

	if($total_pages > 1){
		$base_url = rtrim($page->url . $input->urlSegmentsStr, '/') . '/';

		if($input->pageNum == 2)
			$prev = $base_url;
		elseif($input->pageNum > 2)
			$prev = $base_url . $config->pageNumUrlPrefix . ($input->pageNum - 1);
      
		if($input->pageNum < $total_pages)
			$next = $base_url . $config->pageNumUrlPrefix . ($input->pageNum + 1);
	} 
?>
<?php if($next || $prev) : ?>
<div class="pagination">
		<?php if($prev): ?>
			<div class="prev-page">
				<a rel="prev" href="<?= $prev ?>">Prev page</a>
			</div>
		<?php endif; if($next): ?>
			<div class="next-page">
				<a rel="next" href="<?= $next ?>">Next page</a>
			</div>
		<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
