this might be easy (but a solution evades me):

I have a template with pagination and entries that have a custom field that can be set to either yes or no. (I prefer this to a custom status for some reasons).

I would like to filter my entries depending on the value of field.

right now, I’m using

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" limit="10"}
{if type=="yes"}
<!-- only show entries of custom "type" field value==yes -->
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

so far, this works great, except that pagination shows up even if there are only 9 or less entries of custom “type” field value “yes” (because the total number of entries is > 10).

how can I hide the pagination?

thanks,

Which version/build of EE?

Order by Parameter

it’s the latest and greatest (as of today) but, oh dear, I saw my mistake…
I had the {paginate} tags surrounded by a second set of {weblog:entries} tag - I wanted to display the pagination outside of the original loop.

sorry for the misunderstanding but many thanks for your response!

ok. now I’m really sorry… That mistake wasn’t the culprit after all. I guess it’s a question of logic (and maybe I do have to rethink that). the thing is that paging still gets added, even if the page only shows 3 entries (that match my custom field called “type” = yes).
so, all in all, I have 14 entries for this given category. 3 have a custom field “type” set to “yes”.
if I display that template, then it shows the three entries but since the {weblog:entries} loop counts all 14 (and sets the limit for paging to 10), the pagination shows. I hope this makes sense. check the code above again, if you will, and let me know if you have a better solution.
I wish there was a parameter like

limit_by_custom_field_name="type" limit_by_custom_field_value="true"

😊

I’d simply use Mark Huot’s extension.

Yep- you’d want to use the extension or just use the query module.  OR switch them to categories, if that seems appropriate.  There isn’t a native way to do it with the weblog tag- not without jamming pagination.

this is great. i thank the both of you.
