Hi,

I can’t get pagination to work on my weblog entries.  The pagination links do not show.  See my code below.  Any ideas?

<div class="boxfront1">
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="news_articles" disable="trackbacks|comments|member_data" paginate="bottom" limit="1"}

    <h2 id="titlenews"><a href="http://{title_permalink=news_articles/view}">{title}</a></h2>
    {entry_date format="%F %d, %Y"}

{article_excerpt}
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</div>


{if paginate}
<div>
    {page_count}   {paginate}
</div>
{/if}

Thanks in advance

Ross

Ross, is this a single entry template? In other words, are you passing a url_title or entry_id in the URL?

Hi Sue,

The url looks like: http://localhost:8888/mysite/index.php/news_articles/

It is an index template in the “news_articles” template group displaying a list of news articles, so no entry ids are beings passed.

Where would I specify how many entries to display per page?  I note that when using the search functionality, there is a “results” parameter, which I can set to restrict the number of entries per page.  However, the only parameter that comes close in the weblog entries tag is “limit”.  However, using “limit” will just limit the number of displayed entries (which is not what I want)

Thanks

Ross

I note in my code above, that I have the limit parameter set to 1.  However, removing this does not make any difference.

You set the numbers per page using the limit parameter.

But I spotted the problem. You need to have your pagination code *inside* the exp:weblog:entries tag.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for getting back to me.  I tried that, but still no joy.

However, the only parameter that comes close in the weblog entries tag is “limit”.  However, using “limit” will just limit the number of displayed entries (which is not what I want)

Yes, please try that:

If you are using pagination then [the limit parameter] will determine the number of entries shown per page.

**moved to new thread***

Try changing :

{if paginate}

to

{paginate}
Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages {pagination_links}
{/paginate}

Also place the tags within the weblog tag. Might just be me but I don’t think there is such a thing as {if paginate} not for the weblog entries tag anyway. I also don’t think that {page_count} is valid for weblog entries either is it?

You also have an {if paginate} followed by a {paginate} and then an end {/if}. Pretty sure this is all incorrect. Might want to take a look at the documentation for weblog entry pagination here.

After saying all of this you’re not using an extension to control pagination perhaps are you and that’s why these variables all look wrong perhaps?

Hope that helps a bit.

Best wishes,

Mark

dotnetster, does Mark provide further insight here?
