|

Anybody have the code to change the pagination on view forum from higher to lower instead of lower to higher?
Should lead to better indexing since topics will always remain on same page. _________________ http://www.jlaforums.com |

I have this at line 429 but of course depending on mods added yours might be different
Code: | ORDER BY t.topic_type DESC, t.topic_last_post_id DESC |
Have you tried turning the DESCending to ASCending ?

We are wanting to keep same topic display on viewforum (newest topics 1st). We just want the highest page numbers assigned to the newest topics. So when you look at the navigation on view forum you would see
1306, 1305, 1304, ... 3, 2, 1 Next
1, 2, 3, ... 1304, 1305, 1306 Next
By doing this, topics would always remain on the same page number regardless of any new topics added to a forum. Anybody have any thoughts about this idea??? _________________ http://www.jlaforums.com |

Change the generate_pagination() function in /includes/functions.php
This is from the block for if a topic or forum has 10 or fewer pages.
Code: |
else
{
for($i = 1; $i < $total_pages + 1; $i++)
{
$page_string .= ( $i == $on_page ) ? '<b>' . $i . '</b>' : '<a href="' . append_sid($base_url . "&start=" . ( ( $i - 1 ) * $per_page ) ) . '">' . $i . '</a>';
if ( $i < $total_pages )
{
$page_string .= ', ';
}
}
}
|
try changing this to:
Code: |
else
{
for($i = 1; $i < $total_pages + 1; $i++)
{
$page_string .= ( $i == $on_page ) ? '<b>' . $i . '</b>' : '<a href="' . append_sid($base_url . "&start=" . ( ( $i - 1 ) * $per_page ) ) . '">' . ($total_pages + 1 - $i) . '</a>';
if ( $i < $total_pages )
{
$page_string .= ', ';
}
}
}
|
Changing the rest of the function is left as an exercise for the reader. _________________ Moof!

But they won't. If you take the oldest topic on the board and add a new post, it moves to the "first" page, whether that's number 1 or 1306. Or maybe I'm missing your point... _________________ phpBBDoctor Blog |

Ok, each forum now is displayed with the newest topics 1st (unless an older topic has had a reply) going backwards. As more topics are added to a forum section, the topics are moved down each page. So today a topic that has no replies might be on page 1 and then tomorrow on page 2, etc etc etc
By reversing the pagination (not the topic display order) each new page with that days new topics will be the next highest page number and topics without replies will always stay on the page number at which they appear (if they have no further replies) _________________ http://www.jlaforums.com |

If I read this, then my question is: Why do you block Opera users? I neither use a device that is infected, an anonymizer/proxy service, out of date web browser nor a posting agent, simply an Opera. I also get an error if I visit it with Firefox or Chrome (IE is out of the question). |

Seems pretty strange to me, but I guess you have your reasons to block people that are interested in visiting your site. _________________ phpBB2 will never die, I hope! |

Thanks for that. Was able to get everything with the exception of a manual page input box we have for forums with more than 100 pages
Code: | $input_box = '<input type="text" size="7" value="'.$on_page.'" onKeyPress="var keyCode = event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which ? event.which : event.charCode; if ( keyCode == 13 ) { var page_no = parseInt(this.value, 10); if ( !isNaN(page_no) && page_no <= '.$total_pages.' && page_no > 0) { var start = String((page_no - 1)*'.$per_page.'); window.location.href = \'' . append_sid($base_url . '&start=\'+start+\'') . '\'; return false;} else { this.value = '.$on_page.'; return false;} }" /> <br> ';
|
Tried a couple variations but still showing the original page number in this box??? _________________ http://www.jlaforums.com |
