Problems with pagination

[verdeandrea]

Hi guys,

am I doing something wrong?

I get this selector

$appuntamenti_privati = $pages->find("template=appuntamento_privato|appuntamento_cinema|appuntamento_cultura|appuntamento_gusto, start=11, limit=10, sort=-date, sort=title");

and then i get this at the end of the page

<?php echo $appuntamenti_privati->renderPager(); ?>

and i get a pagination rendered but it doesn't work correctly. 

I have only and always the "Prev"and it's always linked to page2 and, above all, every page shows always the same results (the first ten results).

I can't get were the problem is.

Thanks!

It seems to me like a problem related to the "start" parameter.

If I don't use it everything seems to work in the right way.

Ok, I've read a lot of posts were they suggest to put "start=0" in your selector. But what if I want my first page to start not from the first element of the selector? Have I to slice the pageArray?

Actually I ran some issue on Pagination . I assume you don't need to pass the start value. When you pass start the pagination seems not working correctly at-least my end.

PageArray do have slice method.

see PageArray extends WireArray http://processwire.com/apigen/class-WireArray.html#_slice

Have you enabled Page Numbers on template?

[verdeandrea]

@Soma: Yes, it's enabled.

@Hari KT:

I've tried also something like this

$news = $pages->get('/news/')->children('template=news, sort=-date'); 
$news_archive = $news->slice(8);
$news_archive = $news_archive->find("limit=10");
echo $news_archive->renderPager();

but it doesn't seem to work.

Your first post code works with if you remove the start=11.

[Soma]

Pager only works for single queries and not for arrays in memory or modified ones l. If you manipulate the arrangements after the find it doesn't work. You could set start limit and totals manually but then you'd have to load all first in a find without a limit. Works fine for smaller amounts.

Thanks a lot @Soma.

Is there any other way to manage pagination in PW?

I got the same problem, having a slider (carousel) with the first N pages, then the rest are listed below that (and paginated).

Using "start" screwed things up. However, getting pages to exclude first and then building up the pages to paginate worked:

$carouselItems = 2;
$itemsPerPage = 5;

// get page IDs to exclude
$carouselItemIDs = wire('pages')->find('limit=' . $carouselItems . ', sort=-publish_date')->id('|');

// get pages for pagination (without carousel pages)
$myPages = wire('pages')->find('id!=' . $carouselItemIDs . ', template=recipe, limit=' . $itemsPerPage . ', sort=-publish_date');
