The Problem is “Topic” pagination. Pagination in posts, when there are enough replies… works… strange…

After testing some more… The Forum Pagination is not the only problem. Pagination in Expression Engine Channel Entries are working as they should, but Pagination in Comments are showing nothing. The first 10 entries are shown (There are about 150 of them), but no pagination ? Ist did not test it in Version 2.1.3 so I cannot say if it worked there…

{exp:channel:entries channel="guestbook" limit="1" require_entry="yes"}

  {exp:comment:entries channel="guestbook" orderby="gmt_comment_date" sort="desc" limit="10" paginate="top"}
        {paginate}
            <div>
            Seite {current_page} von {total_pages}  -  {pagination_links}        
            </div>                  
    {/paginate}

  {/exp:comment:entries}

{/exp:channel:entries}

Okay….

I found the problem with the pagination.. Pagination of comments seems only to work in “index” Templates and not in “entries” Templates. Which seems strange to me.

Is there an explanation for this….

But this did not solve my problem for the missing pagination in forum…

Any ideas ?

Let me explain the only error I still have (which is the topic of this forum entry):

My Forum Topic Overview doesn’t show a pagination. This is the pagination in the Template “Forum Topics/Topics.html”.

The Tag {if paginate} is executed correctly because there are about 18 Pages.

{current_page} shows 1
{total_pages} show 18

{pagination_links} don’t show anything

even

{if next_page} is ignored.

So I don’t know where to look further or how I can fix this error. It may be possible to change to the old forum version (3.12) which works for me (in combination with 2.1.3). But I think it should work.

If I append /P40 or something to the URL. The next page is shown and current page shows 2, but still no pagination is seen.

Am I the only one with this problem ?

If the pagination is shown, then I could check if the translation is correct now….. Maybe there is something missing in the language File, because there was no german language file for Forum 3.14 till now…
So there is no chance to have an automatic paging?

So I installed a backup from Version 3.12 (only forum module folder) and voilá it works….
So maybe something with my installation of Version 3.14 was wrong or there is a bug in forum module.

Yep, I’m assuming your forum installation was somehow corrupted. I would try upgrading to 3.1.5 (as of yesterday) with a fresh download. I tested with both 3.1.4 and 3.1.5, and they both worked just as expected.

MMh, no chance…. Don’t work…..
I try something more…...

By the way…. Version 3.1.5. shows after install that is is Version 3.1.4 (mo.forum and upd.forum have old values)...

Okay, ladies and gentlemen

I don’t know why nobody can reproduce my error…. but I found the bug in mod.forum_core.php, even in Version 3.1.5

It is in line 2384:

$str = ($pagination = '') ? $this->deny_if('paginate', $str, ' ') :

There should be a string comparison not a string assignment. Correct is:

$str = ($pagination == '') ? $this->deny_if('paginate', $str, ' ') :

I think for the next version the version string should be updated, too…

Now I will look for my language problem….

Okay…

Language Problem found….. It is strange that nobody found it… ?

Problem is in mod.forum_core.php line 982 and line 983

'first_page'        => lang('first'),
'last_page'            => lang('last'),

Don’t work, because in codeigniter Pagination.php file it reads first_link. So you have to correct this to

'first_link'        => lang('first'),
'last_link'            => lang('last'),

Hope to find this bug fixes in your next releases….. So my spend hours are not for nothing….
