Hello, I am trying to use pagination with dataobjects, and it is not working properly.

The function to get Dataobjects looks like this:

function getLOTDs($pageLimit=5){

if(!isset($_GET['start']) || !is_numeric($_GET['start']) || (int)$_GET['start'] < 1) $_GET['start'] = 0;
$SQL_start = (int)$_GET['start'];

$getLOTDs = DataObject::get('LOTD',"","Created DESC","","");

$returnlotds = $getLOTDs->getRange($SQL_start, $pageLimit);

return $returnlotds;
}

the template to display them looks like this:

<% control getLOTDs %>
<li>
<a href="$LOTD">$LName</a>
</br>
<% if Top.canDelLOTD %>
<a href="LOTD/delLOTD/$ID">Brisanje</a>
<% end_if %>
<% if Top.canEditLOTD %>
<a href="$EditLOTDForm">Izmijeni</a>
<% end_if %>

</li>
<% end_control %>

<% include LOTDPagination %>

the LOTDPagination looks like this:

<% if getLOTDs.MoreThanOnePage %>
<div id="PageNumbers">
<p>
<% if getLOTDs.NotFirstPage %>
<a class="prev" href="$getLOTDs.PrevLink" title="View the previous page">Prev</a>
<% end_if %>

<span>
<% control getLOTDs.PaginationSummary(4) %>
<% if CurrentBool %>
$PageNum
<% else %>
<% if Link %>
<a href="$Link" title="View page number $PageNum">$PageNum</a>
<% else %>
&hellip;
<% end_if %>
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>
</span>

<% if getLOTDs.NotLastPage %>
<a class="next" href="$getLOTDs.NextLink" title="View the next page">Next</a>
<% end_if %>
</p>
</div>
<% end_if %>

Can't seem to find an error, the output I get from this is:

Interni Carnet web

So it displays only the 5 links properly, but it doesn't display the available pages and pagination bar where it should. Can som1 plz help?

Pagination will not work for DataObjectSets that are filtered afterwards - so first collecting the complete DataObjectSet and then returning a range of it will fail. Try using start, limit in your DataObject::get(). Something like this:

return DataObject::get(
	$callerClass = 'LOTD',
	$filter = "",
	$sort = 'Created DESC',
	$join = '',
	$limit = "$SQL_start, $pageLimit"
);

See also this article http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2010/paginating-a-filtered-dataobjectset/

The following uses a custom query to construct the DataObjectSets, then uses setPageLimits() to tap into the silverstripe pagenation, worked for me.

    var $page_limit = 25;
    function ListCategoryListing(){
        
        if(!isset($_GET['start']) || !is_numeric($_GET['start']) || (int)$_GET['start'] < 1) {
            $SQL_start = 0;
        } else {
            $SQL_start = (int)$_GET['start'];
        }
        
        $count_query = "SELECT list.* FROM Listing list, SiteTree_Live st WHERE (list.CategoryID=$this->ID OR (st.ClassName='CategoryPage' AND st.ParentID=$this->ID) ) AND list.CategoryID=st.ID AND list.Active='1' ORDER BY list.BusinessName";
        $page_query = $count_query." LIMIT {$SQL_start}, $this->page_limit";
        
        if(DB::query($page_query)->valid()){
            $records = DB::query($page_query);
            $count = DB::query($count_query)->numRecords();
            
            $myData = singleton('Listing')->buildDataObjectSet($records);
            //maunally set page limit in a cruel way.
            $myData->setPageLimits($SQL_start, $this->page_limit, $count);
        } else {
            $myData = false;
        }
        
        
        
        
        return $myData;
    }

in the template.

<% if ListCategoryListing %> 
<% if ListCategoryListing.MoreThanOnePage %>	
	<!-- Pager -->
	<div class="pagination">
		<span>Go to page:</span>
		
		<% if ListCategoryListing.PrevLink %>
			<a href="$ListCategoryListing.PrevLink" class="prev">Prev</a>
		<% else %>
			<span class="nolink">Prev</span>
		<% end_if %>
		
		<% control ListCategoryListing.PaginationSummary(4) %>
		<% if CurrentBool %>
			<span class="active">$PageNum</span>
		<% else %>
			<% if Link %>
				<a href="$Link" title="Go to page $PageNum">$PageNum</a>
			<% else %>
				...
			<% end_if %>
		<% end_if %>
		<% end_control %>
		
		
		<% if ListCategoryListing.NextLink %>
			<a href="$ListCategoryListing.NextLink" class="next">Next</a>
		<% else %>
			<span class="nolink">Next</span>
		<% end_if %>
		
	</div>
	<!--// Pager -->
<% end_if %>
<% end_if %>


<% if ListCategoryListing %> 
<% control ListCategoryListing %>
<!-- result -->
<div class="listing">
	<div class="title">$BusinessName</div>
	...
	
	
</div>
<!-- /result -->
<% end_control %>
<% end_if %>

hope this helps.
