Pagination link

[kaz]

I have for a news site (Lister Pro) a pagination with MarkupPagerNav.

$results = $pages->find("limit=5, template=news, sort=-publish_from");
echo $results->renderPager(array(
'nextItemLabel' => "vor",
'previousItemLabel' => "zurück",
'listMarkup' => "<ul class='MarkupPagerNav uk-margin-medium-top'>{out}</ul>",
'itemMarkup' => "<li class='{class}'>{out}</li>",
'linkMarkup' => "<a href='{url}'><span>{out}</span></a>"
));

The pagination is displayed but does not work. The link is output as follows:
http://192.168.64.2/news/?page=2

When I click the link, the same page is reloaded, not page 2.
I have 7 entries, with limit 5, 5 entries are correctly displayed on news page 1. I am worried about the news/?page=2, shouldn't it be news/page2 ?

Hi @kaz please check the settings for the template you are using this on. I think you need to turn on the "Allow Page Numbers" option in the settings.

I've not tried it, but I hope that helps.

@kaz 

Determine what template(s) you want to use pagination with. Go to Admin > Setup > Templates > [Your Template] > URLs, and check the box for: Allow Page Numbers. Save.

@netcarverAllow Page Numbers was already activated. Without activation the pagination would not work (!?), but it works. Only the link to the pages, the URL, I think is wrong <a href='{url}'><span>{out}</span></a>. The link is surely not wanted like that: ?page=2

Hi kaz, so does it work if you remove the custom link styling?

@netcarver I have the same result with this code (plus an additional unformatted list above the pagination?

$results = $pages->find("limit=5, template=news, sort=-publish_from");
echo $results->render();

@kaz If you are sure that you are looking at the correct template in the admin then I'm out of ideas. The code in the MarkupPagerNav class may have a subtle error that I can't spot, but I'd expect to see the url you are actually seeing if that "Allow Page Numbers" setting was not set. Here's the code on Github.  Is there anywhere else in your code or modules that might be clearing the allowPageNum setting on that template?

It's a good consideration. I set it up this way: I have a base template. In it I load per include the news template. The news template has only the code I need to display the articles.

I only have a summary, because I didn't manage to build the whole thing including a detail page.
I have activated Allow Page Numbers only in the included news template.
