Simple Pagination

[mcgarriers]

Hi,

I have the following code in a template that lists all the child pages of that parent.

I'd like to include Pagination so it would only show the title of 2 child pages per 'page'.

I have completed the process here http://processwire.com/api/modules/markup-pager-nav/ however, I'm now a little unsure how to integrate this into my code below. I tried the example code in that page but to no avail.

Can someone explain or point me in the right direction?

Here is my current code:

<?php
    if($page->numChildren) {
        echo "<ul class='nav'>";
        foreach($page->children as $child) {
        ?>       
                <?php echo $child->title; ?> 
        <?php
        }
        echo "</ul>";        
    }
?>
 

Many thanks for any pointers

Did you try using "limit=2" in your selector?

The following should work.

<?php
if($page->numChildren) {
	echo "<ul class='nav'>";
	foreach($page->children("limit=2")as $child) {
		echo "<li><a href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}</a></li>"; 
	}
	echo "</ul>";        
}

Thanks for the reply.

I'll try this first thing tomorrow and report back.

Do I need any additional code or is it purely adding the limit?

Thank you for your assistance.

There's an example on that page you linked...

Let's look, to have PW pagination module work you need to use some search $pages->find() ..children() ..siblings() with a limit selector as explained above.

But this alone isn't going to cut it. You'll also need to render the pager. This, you do by using the result you get from the find() and add a renderPager() to it.

So the above code is missing that. Let's add the missing part.

<?php
if($page->numChildren) {
    $result = $page->children("limit=2");

    // render the pager
    echo $result->renderPager();
    
    // render the children 
    echo "<ul class='nav'>";
    foreach($result as $child) {
        echo "<li><a href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}</a></li>";
    }
    echo "</ul>";

    // render pager again? ok
    echo $result->renderPager();
}

Wasn't that easy?

Aaaand you also need to enable Page Number setting on the template you use this code.

[kongondo]

Thanks Soma for adding that. I assumed mcgarriers was doing that already and the only problem was getting the results

[mcgarriers]

Many thanks for the replies guys.

@Soma Thankyou for this. I have tried this code and although the limit works, there's no sign of any pagination being rendered

I have 'Allowed Page Numbers' for this template in the Admin area & I also have the 'Pager' Module installed.

[mcgarriers]

My bad. All fixed now. My issue was I had set the limit = 1 for testing purposes. I increased it to 2 and it started working

[enibas94]

Is it possible to set limit=1 and use the pagination? I would like to show one news article per page and still use the pager function.

[arjen]

Not yet. I is scheduled on the roadmap with the release of version 2.5+.

[enibas94]

It's a great pity. Then we hope for the future. 

Anyway thanks for the information.

While I've not had to do it before, I think you can approximate a limit=1 (for pagination purposes) just by specifying a "start" value based on the page number:

$item = $pages->find("limit=2, start=" . ($input->pageNum-1))->first();

The resulting $item would be the one you'd output on this pagination.

Hi everyone,

somehow current class wont work for me here is my code :

<?php
				$news = $pages->find("parent=1009, limit=2");
				$out ="";
				$options = array(
					'upscaling' => false,
					 'cropping' => "0,0"
				);
					foreach($news as $newsitem){
						$newsimg = $newsitem->images->first;
						$out .= "<li><a href='{$newsitem->url}'><div>";
						if ($newsimg) {
							$newsimg = $newsimg->size(313,177,$options)->url;
							$out .= "<img src='{$newsimg}' alt='' />";
						}else{
							$out .="<div class='noImg'></div>";
						}
						$out .= "<div class='name'>{$newsitem->title}</div>";
						$out .= "<div class='date'>".date("j.m.Y", $newsitem->created)."</div>";
						$out .= "</div></a></li> ";
					}
					$pagination .="<nav class='pagination'>";
					$pagination .= $news->renderPager(array(
								    'nextItemLabel' => "Next",
								    'previousItemLabel' => "Prev",
								    'currrentItemClass' => "active",
								    'listMarkup' => "<ul>{out}</ul>",
								    'itemMarkup' => "<li>{out}</li>",
								    'linkMarkup' => "<a href='{url}'>{out}</a>"
									));
					$pagination .= "</nav>";
				 ?>
			<?php echo $pagination; ?>
			<ul class="news-list">
				<?php echo $out; ?>
				 <li class="fill"></li>
				 <li class="fill"></li>
			</ul>

every thing else works without problem. Any sugestions ?

There's a typo: currrentItemClass should be currentItemClass

DOH

i have to stop working late.

Ty Wanze i will try it later on when im back at home.

[vxda]

I changed it to

'currentItemClass' => "active",

and still got no result, also classes for next and prev are not workin.

it works with default classes withour array like this :
 

$pagination .= $news->renderPager();

Also when i got pagination

sort=-date
 

does not seams to work ;/

[vxda]

Edited.

nope still not working ;/

[Wanze]

Did you look at the generated markup? It works fine here. Of course you have also to adjust your css to match the class you've given, otherwise you'll see no effect on the webpage itself.

@Wanze

I went with 

$pagination .= $news->renderPager();

cause it does not matter what the class name is.

Worst thing is that when u have pagination there is a problem with sort :

sort=-date

does not work

i manage to display newes posts on my page but with a little trick.

In admin pannel i changed sort options to date.

and then in my template i used 

sort=-sort

Tho i dunno if there is a bug in module or i have some error

Cheers

Just going to add a note for something I noticed.

When building your selector don't use the revers() sorting/filtering function as makes renderPager() output nothing.

So use sort=something in the selector instead. I went with sort=created to sort the pages by created date.

I stumbled on this bug too?

Had to remove all the ->filters and concatenate them into a big string because renderpager() wouldnt function properly...supa weird

//$results = $pages->find("template=profile,sort=$sortby, limit=6");
//get results
// if ($location) 
// 	$results->filter("pro_page_location.id='$location'");
// if ($practice_area) 
// 	$results->filter("pro_page_practice_area.id='$practice_area'");
// if ($language)
// 	$results->filter("pro_page_language='$language'");
// if ($position)
// 	$results->filter("pro_page_position='$position'");

if ($location) 
	$filters .= ",pro_page_location.id=$location";
if ($practice_area) 
	$filters .= ",pro_page_practice_area.id=$practice_area";
if ($language)
	$filters .= ",pro_page_language=$language";
if ($position)
	$filters .= ",pro_page_position=$position";

$results = $pages->find("template=profile,sort=$sortby, limit=6" . $filters);
