I’m working on a pagination and I want it to show up only when needed.
( so only when the # entries exceeds the limit I specified )

for this I’m using:

{paginate}
    {if {total_pages} > 1}
        <div id="pagination">
            {if previous_page}
                <a href="http://{auto_path}">Previous Page</a>
            {/if}    
               |   
            {if next_page}
                 <a href="http://{auto_path}">Next Page</a>
            {/if}    
         </div>    
    {/if}    
{/paginate}

this works, but not on the category pages. ( where I only show the entries posted in a specific category )
I think this is because the {total_pages} tag counts the pages for ALL the entries, not only those within a certain category when specified ( which would make more sense in my opinion )

any ideas ?

Hi Jan,

What version and build of EE are you using?

I don’t believe in the most recent version you need to use the total_pages conditional

Can you give an example of your category page URL and what parameters you have for your channel entries tag please?

Hi Jan,

I don’t believe in the most recent version you need to use the total_pages conditional

The current version of ExpressionEngine is v 2.1.0 Build 20101220

Can you give an example of your category page URL and what parameters you have for your channel entries tag please?

the overview page where the pagination works has this URL:

_index.php/work/

the category page is:

_index.php/work/category/logo

my channel entries tag looks like this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="work" paginate="top" limit="24"}

Fixed it using this code:

in mod.channel.php around line 2885:

if ($this->p_page != 0 && $this->p_limit != 0)
{
    $this->current_page = floor(($this->p_page / $this->p_limit) + 1);
$this->total_pages = intval(floor($this->total_rows / $this->p_limit));                    
}

changes to

$this->current_page = floor(($this->p_page / $this->p_limit) + 1);
$this->total_pages = intval(floor($this->total_rows / $this->p_limit));
