    How do I set the number of documents to show on each page with page.nav? At the moment I’m not seing the pagination at all, which I suspect is because I have to few documents. Where/how do I change this, and what’s the default setting?

      you need to add &limit=`4` to your get page call, change the 4 to whatever you want to limit to

        I’m using getResources, but the principle should be the same, right? When I put &limit=`4` in the call the only result is that only four items are shown - no pagination appears. Does that mean I’m doing something else wrong? Maybe I should add that my getResources call is in a chunk that I call from the page (resource) I want it to appear on.

        <ul class="posts">[[getResources? &limit=`10` &showHidden=`1` &tpl=`bloggOchNyhetItem` &tplLast=`bloggOchNyhetItemLast` &includeContent=`1` &includeTVs=´1´ &hideContainers=`1`]]</ul>
<div class="paging">
<ul class="pageList">
  [[!+page.nav]]
</ul>
</div>

          Not sure if it works with getresources but that is defonatly how it is done with get page, try calling your get resources uncached.

          [[!getResources? &limit=`10` &showHidden=`1` &tpl=`bloggOchNyhetItem` &tplLast=`bloggOchNyhetItemLast` &includeContent=`1` &includeTVs=´1´ &hideContainers=`1`]]

            Still nothing. I also tried without the exclamation mark in the page.nav call, but nothing. Are you 100% sure limit is the property I’m looking for? In the documentation limit is described like this: "Limits the number of resources returned". To me that sounds more like the total number of resources, rather than number of resources per page... undecided

              My call using getpage is below, i use the limit=`4` and it displays 4 per page with pagnation

              [[!getPage?
              &parents=`[[*id]]`
              &depth=`3`
              &tpl=`site-list`
              &sortby=`pagetitle`
              &tvPrefix=``
              &includeTVs=`1`
              &processTV=`1`
              &showHidden=`true`
              &limit=`4`
              &pageVarKey=`page`
              &element=`getResources`
              &elementClass=`modSnippet`
              &sortdir=`ASC`
              ]]
              <div class="paging">
              <ul class="pageList">
              [[!+page.nav]]
              </ul>
              </div>

              As I say I’m not even sure it works with get resources

                There is no page.nav in getResources; that is only in getPage.

                  You’re absolutely right OpenGeek, when I change it to getPage it works. Problem solved! It also seems to work with getResourcesTag, which I’m not sure why...? Maybe we’re just not meant to understand everything in this world smiley
