Getting results from a specific page number

[Vineet Sawant]

Hi,

So I've created a simple API which takes in following GET parameters

• m = master/page parent
• l = limit (no. of results)
• p = page number

My simple questions is, what kind of selector I use so as to get results from a specific page number.

For example, if I've 10 records of Employees and "I" set limit as 5 and "p" as 2, I want to get employees with serial number 6-10.

 

Thanks for your help.

I've found the answer in https://cheatsheet.processwire.com/

I'm using "start" parameter in selectors.

$emps = $pages->find("template=employee, limit={$l}, start={$p}, sort=-id");

It's working.

start={$p}

That would actually be the start in the page array. To get a specific page, based on a selector with start and limit, you might want to look at this:

This way you can actually go straight to the specific page, like 3 of 7.
