Pagination Woes

[Lance O.]

I'm currently working on a site that includes a blog. Individual blog posts can be assigned multiple "categories" using a Page field type in the post that references pages using the "category" template.

 

When I perform the following, the correct posts are displayed on each category page:

$posts = $pages->find( "parent=/blog/, template=post, categories=$page->name, start=0, limit=20, sort=-date" ); 

But, when I modify the code to limit the number of posts that are displayed, the same two posts display on every paginated page within a category:

 

$posts = $pages->find( "parent=/blog/, template=post, categories=$page->name, start=0, limit=2, sort=-date" ); 

My "category" template is set to "Allow Page Numbers" and the pagination is displaying on each paginated category page. But any posts beyond the first two never display.

 

It has been a long working Sunday and I'm sure that whatever I'm doing wrong is silly, but I'm too tired to see it!

Drop the "start=0" and you should be fine. (I'm on mobile, someone will give you a more detailed explanation soon I'm sure.)

@nik is (of course) right. The 'start=0' in your selector will force it to always show the first (in this case) 2 records, regardless of what the pagination module would normally produce. By removing 'start=0', the module can take control of which subset of records are produced.

I knew it had to be something simple. Thanks for contributing a fresh set of eyes on my silly mistake.
