I'm working on a site which has paginated entries and want to output where you are currently, e.g. Showing 10-18 of 50 results
but am having trouble getting the correct output if there are less entries than the per-page limit.
The site uses ExpressionEngine where the last segment of the URI indicates where you are in the page list, so if the limit is 9 per page, the URI would be /path/to/page/P9/
when you're on the second page, P18
page 3 etc.
This is what I have so far:
$output = '';
// the variables below are passed from a template to a plugin which does the processing
$url_segment = $this->EE->TMPL->fetch_param('url_segment'); // e.g. P9, P18 etc.
$per_page = $this->EE->TMPL->fetch_param('page_num'); // e.g. 9
$total_entries = $this->EE->TMPL->fetch_param('total'); // e.g. 50
$current_page = preg_match('/^P+[0-9]+$/', $url_segment) === 1 ? str_replace('P','', $url_segment) +1 : 1;
if ($total_entries == 1) {
$output .= '1 tour';
} else {
if ($total_entries <= $per_page){
$output .= '1 to '.($per_page<=$total_entries ? $total_entries : $per_page);
} else {
$output .= $current_page.' to ';
$output .= $current_page+$per_page-1;
}
$output .= ' of '.$total_entries.' tours';
}
return $this->return_data = $output;
if ($total_entries <= $per_page)
doesn't ever seem to evaluate to true, e.g. if page limit is 9 but only three entries, it'll say 1 to 9 of 3 entries
.
I thought it might be because I need to make the variables integers but doing that means the other side of the conditional always evaluates as true so when there are more entries that the per-page limit, the output is always same regardless of which page you're on, e.g. 1 to 14 of 14 entries
on all pages.
Where am I going wrong?
