Pagination Error with GetPage

Hi all

I have seen this covered elsewhere in the forum but the final solution wasn't added.

I am using getpage to aggregate articles in a collection but am getting some weird results in terms of the pagination itself. I want to limit it to the built-in controls and 5 page links no matter how far you go. But I am getting up to 11 page links when I go above page 6. I thought the &pageLimit property would do what I wanted. Here is my code;

[[!getPage? 
&elementClass=`modSnippet` 
&element=`getResources` 
&parents=`[[*id]]` 
&limit=`10` 
&pageLimit=`5` 
&tpl=`bvFeedContainerTpl` 
&includeContent=`1` 
&includeTVs=`1` 
&processTVs=`1` 
&totalVar=`total` 
&offset=`0` 
&pageVarKey=`page`]]

Anyone got an idea what I am doing wrong please?

I think &pageLimit should be interpreted as the number of pages in a certain direction. So &pageLimit=`5` would show 5 pages back and 5 pages forward (plus the current = your 11 links).

Maybe pdoPage is more flexible in defining the page limits the way you want it...

That's it, thanks Mark. Didn't even compute that it would be 5 each way but I guess that makes sense. Dropped it to two and I have my five link limit.

Cheers fella
