Pagination of search results in extras

When the search results in Extras is paginated, going to the other groups of items does not display any items. Try it here:
http://modxcms.com/extras/search.html?query=pagination&start=0&limit=10

This has been fixed. Thanks!

There is still a problem with the Extras pagination. As an example, there are supposed to be 29 items in Blogging. The search results will show that there are 3 pages of results, which would be correct (10 items per page x 3 pages). But... It only shows 2 or 3 items per page, therefore instead of displaying 29 items, it only displays about 6 or 7. This problem is consistent with every category and it seems to be an issue with all browsers. I’ve checked with the latest IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari.

Frustrating since I am trying to switch from Joomla! to MODx but I can only learn about a small fraction of the extras available.

Ok, I figured out what your problem is. In the url, you have limit=10. Just for the heck of it, I changed that to limit=100 and sure enough, all the items showed up (assuming the category has less than 100 items in it of course). I’m assuming that the purpose of your limit=10 is to only show 10 items per page, but it seems that your looping is screwed up somewhere.

I believe &start=10 is also for pagination... Page 1 is supposed to start at 0, page 2 at 10, page 3 at 20, etc, etc based on 10 items per page. Apparently, that parameter isn’t working correctly either since it is only showing 2, 3, 5, 8 items per page. Doesn’t really make sense. It seems to just do what ever it feels like at the moment. There doesn’t seem to be any consistency to it.

How do we get a developer to read this thread??

I can assure you, we’re working on the issue. You’re not *missing* any resources; the pagination is just off.

Please bear with us, as you’re getting a free product and service here.

Hmmm, interesting. Why offer font decoration options if we are going to get b*tched at for using them.

Anyway, thanks for the reply.

For much the same reason that most modern automobiles come with absurdly powerful engines. Why provide an engine that can exceed 120MPH if we’re going to get ticketed for using them?

Or why do parents buy their children powerful media players if they’re just going to get in trouble for using them (and rattling the neighbor’s windows)?

Anybody can be rude and obnoxious. Courtesy and good manners is what makes for a successful community, whether a family, a neighborhood or a forum.
