Custom pagination refuses to cooperate

Hi there. I'm basically using the same code as here:

http://community.lithium.com/t5/Developers-Discussion/Implement-custom-pagination/m-p/106695/

 

My code:

<#assign page_size = 4/>
<#assign page_number = webuisupport.path.parameters.name.get("page",1) />
<#assign total_articles = restadmin("/blogs/id/${coreNode.id}/messages/count/").value?number/>
<#assign pageable_item = webuisupport.paging.pageableItem.setCurrentPageNumber(page_number).setItemsPerPage(page_size).setTotalItems(total_articles?number).setPagingMode("trivial").build />
<@component id="common.widget.pager" 
pageableItem=pageable_item />

Problem is, no matter what I try, I can't get past page 1.

I click on "next" (hover shows URL/page/2), but I just end up on URL again.

 

Have a feeling the webuisupport path code isn't "finding" page 2 and just jumping to page 1, but how to fix it?

    Hi PerBonomi,

     

    This might be the admin settings overriding issue.

     

    Please change this and check.

    Admin -> Discussion Style -> Blogs  -> Number of articles per page

     

    Let me know if this works.

     

    Regards,

    Mahesh

    PerBonomi - The issue seems to be in line 2, where you are specifying the page_number as 1, please remove this and keep it blank.

     

    <#assign page_number = webuisupport.path.parameters.name.get("page","") />

     

    Let me know if this works.

    Thanks for your reply. That 1 is just a fallback, if no page number is found. 

     

    If I remove the default 1, or make it blank, the page just errors out completely, and I don't even get page 1.

    PerBonomi - I just checked out it again, use this instead.

     

    <#if webuisupport.path.parameters.name.get("page")??>
	<#assign page_number =  webuisupport.path.parameters.name.get("page")  /> 
<#else>
	<#assign page_number = 1  /> 
</#if>

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks :)

    But that brings me back to the original problem. Instant redirect to page 1.

    Seems like you are missing a link somewhere. We also have custom pagination in place and it works fine. How many topics are on that page where the pagination is being rendered? Seems like the pagination is generated based on the wrong information passed, i.e. the count provided is generating 2 pages but in actual, there is no second page. Just a guess :) Please check if the count is actually correct.

    There are 11 articles. I also set the page_size to 4, to test pagination. Something is overwriting my custom page_size with the user default setting, I think.

    Thanks! That does seem to be the issue. Feels a bit like a bug?

    In addition to what Mahesh said, you could check if you have it overridden in your personal settings.

    Hi VarunGrazitti,

     

    I think there is no setting for blogs in user personal settings.

    As it available for Forums (linear and topic view).

     

    Please correct me if I wrong.

     

    Regards,

    Mahesh
