Does anybody know how to get the current page number and the links number range to display on the categories page?

What I want is:

Links 26-50 of 123 -- Page 2 of 5

Thanks
Paul

One suggestion is taking the spanning codes used in Widgetz's Category and Search Mod (which can be found in this forum), and put them in your sub build_category_pages.

Eliot,

I am confused what the Category and Search Mod does exactly...hence I am confused how this will help my problem.

Thanks,
Paul

(Tell me to search the forum some more) :)

-- I actually have...almost all links have become visited and are the color gray...

Welp...the codes in the search.cgi replace the old spanning results from:



to the following codes:



To see an example, go to:

The codes in Widgetz's search.cgi script are closest to what you want....that I could think of.

Thanks Eliot that helped (for the search part) ... now I'll have to figure out the category part, not as easy. Any tips on that? I can't get the page number from the input parms..

I'll post this code for others

in site_html.pl in sub site_html_search_results

add the following code after the "my" field definitions:

my $nh = &urlencode ($in{'nh'});
$totalpages = int($link_hits/$maxhits);
if ($totalpages < $link_hits/$maxhits) { $totalpages++; }
if ($highrange > $link_hits) { $highrange = $link_hits; }

Then use the following fields respectively:

$nh = current page number
$totalpages = total pages returned by search
$lowrange = first link number on page displayed
$highrange = fast link number on page displayed
$link_hits = total number of links returned

So to display "Page 1 of 2 -- Links 1-25 of 123" use:

print "Page $nh of $totalpages -- Links $lowrange-$highrange of $link_hits";


Have fun!

For Template users....follow these steps:

1) Add the following codes at the top of the sub site_html_search_results in the site_html_templates.pl file:



2) Then define the display tag as follows:



(Delete the comma if this is the last tag in the list.)

3) Then use the following tag in your search_results.html file:

Eliot,

(Holding my head in shame)

After joking you about your standard answers "search the forum!" ... "search the forum!!" :) I have solved my problem.

There is a "Download.com" mod that will work great....BUT in my defense....I downloaded the mod and installed it...had it running, BUT the Links x-x of z was NOT in the code I had. I read the documentation again and realized it did NOT match the source I had... the fields I needed where not in the source. I download the source again (new version I guess) ...

All is well...

Thanks,
Eliot

GOOD!

See...there are answers to questions in these forums!!
