Hi all. Straight to the question - can such kind of pagination be made with Ditto:

[1][2][3][4][5] ... [34][35][36]

?

I mean, links in between are hidden and shown only then your're on pages near to them. By default, all pages are shown. Solutions like limiting # of pages (&total) or creating an archive not good for me.

[Mark]

Yes, with a snippet like this

[Errant]

This snippet outputs links even better than I wanted to =) Thank you Mark!

There was a little trouble with making snippet work - links wasn't splitted with such call:

[[Ditto? &summarize=`3` &total=`77` &parents=`61,64,66,67,47` &depth=`5` &hideFolders=`1` &tpl=`np` &tplAlt=`npalt` &tplFirst=`npfirst` &paginateAlwaysShowLinks=`1` &extenders=`summary` &truncLen=`500` &truncOffset=`100` &truncText=`Читать далее...` &paginate=`1` &dateFormat=`%B %d %Y, %H:%M` &tplTrunc=`ditto_readmore` &hiddenFields=`news_source`]]

[[splitPagination]]

Cached and uncached, different settings for total and summarize were used. So I've change [+pages+] to [[splitPagination]] in my template, and modify last snippet string: "if ($return) return $ph;" to just "return $ph;".

Maybe it's not a correct way and i'm missing smth, but it working and me is happy :]

[Mark]

The snippet above sets [+splitPages+] for you to use instead of [+pages+]. If you call it with &return=`1` it will return the value back to you instead of placing the output in a placeholder. Remember, never call pagination calls cached unless the page is uncached.

Thanks for clearing things. I think this snippet could be listed in repository or embedded in ditto.

So will it read the splitter marker and make pages?
Can I show section names instead of pages?

Thanks,

Gary

[Edit] Removed quote for readability

[Mark]

This snippet is just a different version of [+pages+]. What do you mean by show section names?

This snippet is just a different version of [+pages+]. What do you mean by show section names?

Typically, I would have multiple documents in a folder, and use wayfinder or ditto to generate pages.
Section name would be the title of the page.

But let's say there is one document that I want to split up.

Each page would be called by the section where I would put the split.
In this case, it would have to be the h3 or whatever header I put.

Hope that made sense.

Ok. I'm not understanding the execution of this snippet. Can someone help me. I have the following in a document

[!Ditto? &parents=`46` &summarize=`10` &total=`20` &commentsChunk=`blog_CommentsBlog` &tpl=`blog_BlogTemplate` &dateSource=`pub_date` &dateFormat=`%m-%d-%Y` &sortBy=`pub_date` &paginate=`1` &paginateAlwaysShowLinks=`1` !]

[!splitPagination!]

I'm expecting a 2 page notification at the end of a list of 10 entries but it's doing nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

I have about 4000 docs to output with Ditto, so this snippet is the only way I can do pagination with (the usual [+pages+] simply won't fit into screen). But splitPagination behave somewhat strange... it adds an extra page at start ([1][1][2][3]...) and the active page won't turn into <span>, so we do not see the active page actually. Here is the page with my case: http://s31183.gridserver.com/news

Please help me with that... its kind of crucial for me
Thanks in advance.

[Mark]

Could you provide the Ditto and splitPagination calls you are using?

[yentsun]

I'm so sorry Mark! Forgot to provide the call... here it is

Code:

[[Ditto? &tpl=`news_item_ext` &summarize=`22` &paginate=`1` &extenders=`request,dateFilter,cal_dateFilter` &dateSource=`createdon` &depth=`2` &hideFolders=`1` &tagData=`tags` &tagSort=`0` &tagDelimiter=`, ` &tagDisplayDelimiter=` ` &seeThruUnpub=`0` &filter=`isnews,1,2`]]
<div class="pages">
[[splitPagination? &return=`1`]]
</div>

The page is uncached ofcourse.

[Mark]

I would try setting the same Ditto ID on both the Ditto call itself and the splitPagination snippet.

[yentsun]

Mark, I've added ids to both Ditto and splitPagination calls like this:

Code:

[[Ditto? &tpl=`news_item_ext` &summarize=`22` &paginate=`1` &extenders=`request,dateFilter,cal_dateFilter` &dateSource=`createdon` &depth=`2` &hideFolders=`1` &tagData=`tags` &tagSort=`0` &tagDelimiter=`, ` &tagDisplayDelimiter=` ` &seeThruUnpub=`0` &filter=`isnews,1,2` &id=`main`]]
<div class="pages">
[[splitPagination? &return=`1` &id=`main`]]
</div>

And it didn't help

[Mark]

Try setting both calls to uncached, even if it is on an uncached page. Also, try removing all the Ditto parameters and if it works, add them back in one at a time until it breaks.
