How to use construct_page_nav?

[derekivey]

Hi,

I am making a Toplist hack for vBulletin 3.5, and need to know how to use construct_page_nav on it. Does anyone know if there are any tutorials around that show how?

Thanks,
Derek

function construct_page_nav($pagenumber, $perpage, $results, $address, $address2 = '')

Does that answer your question?

Uhm ..

Curious myself here, tnx for the info k, but how do I then now use this on my source code? Am I thinking too hard here?

[Andreas]

Hmm .. what exactly do you want to know Floris?
You got your current pagenumber ($page = $vbulletin->input ...). you got the number of items you want to show per page (be it a hardcoded setting, from user input, or a system setting), you somehow also gut the total amout of items you want to display.
Pass all that to construct_page_nav() together with the script URL and you're done.

No. Already looked at that... Still confused on how I would do this...

Would $results be my SQL query?

Existing scripts will show you how they do it :)

Ok, I tried it and I get this error:


Warning: Division by zero in /includes/functions.php on line 1809


Here is the code I added:


$pagenav = construct_page_nav($page, $pp, $sqlr, 'toplist.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'], "");


Any ideas?


Thanks.

[Andreas]

What are the values of $page, $pp, $sqlr?

[derekivey]

$page = 1,
$pp = $vbulletin->options['toplist_sites_per_page'],
$sqlr = $db->query_read($sql);

Does the comment say you should pass a mySQL result resource as 3rd parameter or does it say that you should pass the total number of results as third parameter?

lol :) No, it tells me that I should pass the number of cooked potatos that I have in my refrigerator.

You must have another comment than me ;)

Ok, I got it working, but do I need to add LIMIT to the query? Because when I click a page it does nothing.
