Hopefully this is something that will be easy to remedy. I'm having a bit of an issue understanding the jQuery Pagination plugin.
Essentially, all I am trying to do is load a PHP file, and then paginate the results. I'm attempting to go off their example, but I am not yielding the results I'm looking for.
Here's the JavaScript:
function pageselectCallback(page_index, jq){
var new_content = $('#hiddenresult div.result:eq('+page_index+')').clone();
$('#Searchresult').empty().append(new_content);
return false;
}
function initPagination() {
var num_entries = $('#hiddenresult div.result').length;
// Create pagination element
$("#Pagination").pagination(num_entries, {
num_edge_entries: 2,
num_display_entries: 8,
callback: pageselectCallback,
items_per_page:3
});
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#hiddenresult').load('load.php', null, initPagination);
});
Here's my HTML (after the PHP has been loaded):
<div id="Pagination" class="pagination"> </div>
<br style="clear:both;" />
<div id="Searchresult"> </div>
<div id="hiddenresult" style="display:none;">
<div class="result">Result #1</div>
<div class="result">Result #2</div>
<div class="result">Result #3</div>
<div class="result">Result #4</div>
<div class="result">Result #5</div>
<div class="result">Result #6</div>
<div class="result">Result #7</div>
</div>
Basically, I am trying to show "3" items per page, but this is not working. I'm assuming that somewhere, I am going to need to create a for loop in my JS, but I'm confused on how to do so. The documentation can be found here.
You don't even need to use a for loop, just use jQuery's slice()
method and a bit of math.
I've hosted a working demo on JS Bin: http://jsbin.com/upuwe (Editable via http://jsbin.com/upuwe/edit)
Here's the modified code:
var pagination_options = {
num_edge_entries: 2,
num_display_entries: 8,
callback: pageselectCallback,
items_per_page:3
}
function pageselectCallback(page_index, jq){
var items_per_page = pagination_options.items_per_page;
var offset = page_index * items_per_page;
var new_content = $('#hiddenresult div.result').slice(offset, offset + items_per_page).clone();
$('#Searchresult').empty().append(new_content);
return false;
}
function initPagination() {
var num_entries = $('#hiddenresult div.result').length;
// Create pagination element
$("#Pagination").pagination(num_entries, pagination_options);
}
