?pg= variables missing from pagination

Bloke · 2024-06-12 14:57:10

I must be missing something obvious. Trying to paginate article_custom which has a single filter by a custom field:

<txp:article_custom section="whatever" limit="50" sort="LastMod desc" status="live" price="sold" offset pageby>
   Display articles here...
</txp:article_custom>
...

I’ve added this at the bottom to set the ‘total’:

<txp:pages total='<txp:article_custom section="whatever" limit="50" sort="LastMod desc" status="live" price="sold" pgonly />' />

Then I paste in the stock pagination bar code from example 3.

I get the correct number of links for all pages, as expected, but none of the links contain the ?pg= variable. What am I missing?

Running stock Txp 4.8.8. Any ideas please?

If you use this block in the individual article mode, it will not work in 4.8.8, since all txp params (except id) are dropped. Dunno how to fix it, maybe via context attribute? It seems to work in 4.9.

Ahhhh, the tags are inside an article. That must be why. Of course. Thank you. I’ll see if I can use context but I think I tried it as a wrapper with txp:page_url and it didn’t work.

I’ll try again and play around. Thank you.

Nope, didn’t work with a <txp:page_url context="pg"> wrapper. I guess pagination from an individual article context is a little bit of a strange concept. It just happens that this article contains the code to list all the sold item, which makes the URLs nice and consistent:

example.org/widgets/all => article that lists all available items
example.org/widgets/sold => article that lists all sold (unavailable) items
example.org/widgets/some-individual-widget => article all about that particular product
...

So what I did was just manually construct the URL and tack on the pg variable by hand, on every newer/older link:

<a href="<txp:yield item="url" />?pg=<txp:yield item="page" />"

Seems to work fine. Thank you for the nudge towards a solution.

I guess that has been deemed buggy (sorry) and patched in 4.9, so you’d better replace <txp:yield item="url" /> with something more stable, to avoid update issues.

Umm, like….? <txp:item />? Does that work in both 4.8 and 4.9?

Maybe <txp:permlink />?pg=<txp:yield item="page" /> since you use it in an individual article context (and clean mode)? In 4.9 <txp:yield item="url" /> contains already pg parameter, whatever context.

Ah okay cool. I’ll switch to the permlink tag. Good call on the compatibility, thank you.
