Smarty PHP Question

[adamjblakey]

Hi,

I am trying to implement pagination into my site but am having a few problems.

This is my code, but when i load the page all the results show and when i click to the next page 2 it shows the same results. It does not seem to be splitting the results between 2 pages.

[PHP]
// required connect
SmartyPaginate: :connect();
// set items per page
SmartyPaginate: :setLimit(20);

$sql = mysql_query("se lect * from users");
while($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($sql)){
$array[] = $row;
}

// now we get the total number of records from the table
$sql = mysql_query("SE LECT FOUND_ROWS() as total");
$row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($sql, MYSQL_ASSOC);

SmartyPaginate: :setTotal($row['total']);

$smarty->assign("array" , $array);

// assign {$paginate} var
SmartyPaginate: :assign($smarty );

// Assign New Members
$cols_per_row = 4;
$smarty->assign('cols_p er_row', $cols_per_row);
[/PHP]


Can someone help me out?
Cheers,
Adam

I am afraid that Tony Marston article is about writing the pagination code yourself.

It does not address using the Smarty pagination plug-in.

Yes this is what i was going to say,

I have changed the code a bit to try and get it to work but does not seem to function correctly.

[PHP] // required connect
SmartyPaginate: :connect();

if(!isset($_GET['next'])){
$page = 1;
} else {
$page = $_GET['next'];
}

$max_results = 24;
$from = (($page * $max_results) - $max_results);

$sql = mysql_query("SE LECT * FROM users LIMIT $from, $max_results");

while($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($sql)){
$array[] = $row;
}

// now we get the total number of records from the table
$sql = mysql_query("SE LECT FOUND_ROWS() as total");
$row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($sql, MYSQL_ASSOC);

SmartyPaginate: :setTotal($row['total']);

$smarty->assign("array" , $array);

// assign {$paginate} var
SmartyPaginate: :assign($smarty );

// Assign New Members
$cols_per_row = 4;
$smarty->assign('cols_p er_row', $cols_per_row);[/PHP]

It just shows Items 1-24 out of 24 displayed and no other next or pages links but there is 60+ in the table.

My suggestion is to go to the Smarty support people, because the problems almost certainly lies in the Smarty classes/functions.

thefox149: welcome to The Scripts. It is good to hear that you have found some way of pointer OP in the right direction of this Smarty problem. I was losing hope that we could solve this in this forum.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for your replies, i have tried directing this to specific smarty programmers but they don't seem to want to help.

As for the link this is what i followed and code is based on but i cannot get it to work correctly. The problem with that script is it uses an array and only briefly focuses on the MySQL solution.

Cheers,
Adam

[php]// required connect
SmartyPaginate: :connect();
// set items per page
SmartyPaginate: :setLimit(15);
$sql = "Your Sql goes here";
// assign your db results to the template
$smarty->assign('make ', get_db_results( $sql));
// assign {$paginate} var
SmartyPaginate: :assign($smarty );
// display results
// display results
$smarty->display('you r tpl');
function get_db_results( $sql) {
$_data = func_query($sql );//my own littel sql could easily use the mysql
SmartyPaginate: :setTotal(count ($_data));
return array_slice($_d ata, SmartyPaginate: :getCurrentInde x(),
SmartyPaginate: :getLimit());
}[/php]

}[/PHP]

It is not displaying any results.
