Displaying #'s of viewed articles MOD

**eH9116** · 02-05-2007, 03:03 PM

Hey guys, I was just working on another feature that I wanted to be implemented and thought I would share. Add the red text to "libs\html1.php" between the blue lines to show the currently viewed article numbers. Example: "Showing 1-10 of 17" or "Showing 2-17 of 17". Enjoy!

......
echo '<div class="pagination"><p>';

$from=$current*10-9;
if($total<$current*10) {
$to=$total;
}
else {
$to=$current*10;
}
echo '<b><h3>Showing '.$from.'-'.$to.' of '.$total.'</h3></b><br>';

if($current==1) {
.......

very nice you did a good work with this.

hey guys, here's an update to my previous code. Before, when you viewed the "Top Users" page it displayed the numbers incorrectly. Edit the file "libs/html1.php" as instructed above but instead add the following in the do_pages() function:

Code:

	if($thepage == '/topusers.php') {
		$pagel=25;
	}
	else {
		$pagel=10;
	}
	$from=$current*$pagel-($pagel-1);
	if($total<$current*$pagel) {
		$to=$total;
	}
	else {
		$to=$current*$pagel;
	}
	echo '<b><h3>Showing '.$from.'-'.$to.' of '.$total.'</h3></b><br>';

Enjoy! Now people have an idea of the total scope of your site including stories and users!

hi

i have just added the feature but and got the message:

" Showing 31-29 of 29 "
i guess the way you calculate the total is not quite correct.

pls review

are you sure you put it in function do_pages() ? Because I have gone through the code several times now and have not had a problem. If all has checked out, what page were you on when it displayed that? I even have 49 (ending in a '9') articles on my site right now and the last page displays "Showing 41-49 of 49".

nice mod--here's a tip:

make sure that the number of stories displayed, is aligned with the integer '10'.

in other words, on my site (reliablesource.org), the number of stories is 8. so the algorithm on my site looks like:

$from=$current*8-7;
if($total<$current*8) {
$to=$total;
}
else {
$to=$current*8;
}

This is very useful.

Is it possible to place 'Showing X-Y of Z' inside the same grey box with the '<< previous' and 'next >>' buttons?

I'd prefer to have it indented on the left hand side and not on the right side side. P.S. I'm sure its very simple, but I don't know how.
