I upgrade to EE 2.1.3 Build 20101220 and noticed an issue with pagination.

The channel:entries query is returning the correct number of entries—and the pagination links display correctly on Page 1—example: Your search returned 17 article—Page 1 of 2

When I click the Next link the result set now shows ALL articles in the channel—Your search returned 24 articles—Page 1 of 3

What I did notice is that the Next Link is going to /news/results/P10—wasn’t this P1 in the previous version?

In either case pagination was working in EE 2.1.1

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="10" paginate="top" dynamic_parameters="category"}
  {if paginate}{paginate}
    <div id="paginatation-top">
      <div class="paginate">
        {if previous_page}<a href="http://{auto_path}" class="prev">Prev</a>{/if}
        Page {current_page} of {total_pages}
        {if next_page}<a href="http://{auto_path}" class="next">Next</a>{/if}
      </div>
    </div>
  {/paginate}{/if}
  {if {count} == 1}
    <div id="titlebox">
      <table>
        <tr>
          <td class="alignleft">{site_url}images/site/news_header.png</td>
          <td class="aligncenter">Your search returned <strong>{absolute_results} article{if {absolute_results} > 1}s{/if}</strong>.</td>
          <td class="alignright"></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </div>
  {/if}
  {snp_article}
{/exp:channel:entries}

No, P10 is fine if you’re starting off at entry #11. How and where are you performing this search? Do you’ve got a link to the site?

Yeah, I realized that about P10 afterwords, but didn’t want to bump my posting down in the queue.

It’s definitely related to dynamic_parameters=“category”.  I changed that to category=“28” and the pagination works without a problem.

If I use dynamic_parameters=“category” and select only 28 checkbox from the search page, then page 1 of the search is correct.  When I click Next it is appears to lose the category argument and shows all entries in the category.

Unfortunately it’s a secured site with proprietary/sensitive content.  I need to check with the client before giving you access; they’ve been pretty strict on keeping it locked.  If it’s OK I’ll PM you.

In the meantime I would appreciate it if you could look further into the dynamic_parameter issue.  If it helps I could send Template Debug and SQL Output.

Yes, it looks like the dynamic parameter does not carry over to the next page: it’s set “on the fly” using POST data submitted via a form for the very next page only. I’m not sure this is supposed to work, I don’t recall anybody trying before. Let me bring this up with the devs.

Unfortunately, to quote from the docs:

If you have pagination links on your page they will not retain the page layout options created dynamically using this feature.

So for now, dynamic parameters won’t work with pagination, sorry.
