Ok...
If you go to: FrankPage dot net
You will see that his comics on the main page have a HUGE-ass pager.
How could I shorten that down...?
I would be happy with something that looked like:
<- 1, 2, 3, ... ... 19, 20, 21 ->
Can someone help me with this?

You could check out the pager that comes with Pagesetter (in the plugin folder). I think that does what you're looking for. You would have to tweak it to work with pnComic (?)

I believe that there is a setting I can set that will do what I want, I just can't find it in documentation anywhere...
I would rather NOT install an entirely new module just to get the pager to work...
Thanks for the idea tho...

Actually I meant you could take the Smarty plugin from Pagesetter and tweak it. That would mean just one extra file: the custom pager plugin.
I've looked at the pager that comes with pnRender (/modules/pnRender/plugins/function.pager.php) and I can't find a settings that will constrain the number of pages shown.
There is a parameter named $limit but changing it doesn't seem to do anything.
Maybe drak can offer some more info since he's the last who modified the pager file?

These are all good ideas... But they unfortunately are not what I am looking for... I KNOW that the current Pager running can do what I want... I have been thru the CORE modules and plugins looking for pager information, but I find nothing to help me with this situation, altho I still believe there is an answer...
Hopefully, someone will read this and know the answer and supply it... THAT would be amazingly wonderful... meanwhile, I will keep digging and testing other ideas... I just am hoping that my friends site doesn't end up with 4 lines of pager crap, chuckle...

ok. iits a lil more complicated than i thought, when i see how the pager works.
what the pager does is KIND of what u want.
it does something like:
<- 1, 31, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 71, 91 ->
this is what i gonna try do:
<- 1, 2, 3, ... 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 ... 89, 90, 91 ->
ima work on it some point this week, cant guarentee. i got some other stuff i gotta do of more importance

Hmmm... a count of x number of results. Now, to reduce the number of links we can increase the number of results per page or keep the results/page constant and set an upper value for the number of links. Something needs to be constant. I prefer the latter so I wonder what is an acceptable number of links?
I like the way this forum pages after a search for, say, pnRender:
Goto page 1, 2, 3 ... 41, 42, 43 Next

Had a few minutes today and decided I'd take a crack at it. Turned out not to be such a big deal. Hopefully, the devs will agree and fix this for posterity. Anyway, I'm happy to say that now the pager for my news stories doesn't go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on... like it used to. :D
BTW the pager for the news stories is pnHTML...yuck! :( It can be found in includes/pnHTML.php
Take care all.

How do we make it work, oh slugger of great coding-ness...?
Hardly...LOL...I just modified the code from PNphpBB2 because I liked the way it looked. As you can tell, I didn't even bother cleaning up the math.
OK, here's what I did but beware, cause it's a core hack and we know that can be a problem so, backup the file, and use at your own risk. :wink:
Go to pnHTML.php in your includes directory and find:
Code
// Show startnum link
if ($startnum != 1) {
$url = preg_replace('/%%/', 1, $urltemplate);
$compoutput->URL($url, '<<');
} else {
$compoutput->Text('<<');
}
$compoutput->Text(' ');
// Show following items
$pagenum = 1;
$compoutput->Text(' | ');
for ($curnum = 1; $curnum <= $total; $curnum += $perpage) {
if (($startnum < $curnum) || ($startnum > ($curnum + $perpage - 1))) {
//mod by marsu - use sliding window for pagelinks
if ((($pagenum%10)==0) // link if page is multiple of 10
|| ($pagenum==1) // link first page
|| (($curnum >($startnum-4*$perpage)) //link -3 and +3 pages
&&($curnum <($startnum+4*$perpage)))
) {
// Not on this page - show link
$url = preg_replace('/%%/', $curnum, $urltemplate);
$compoutput->URL($url, $pagenum);
$compoutput->Text(' | ');
}
//end mod by marsu
} else {
// On this page - show text
$compoutput->Text($pagenum.' ');
$compoutput->Text(' | ');
}
$pagenum++;
}
if (($curnum >= $perpage + 1) && ($startnum < $curnum - $perpage)) {
$url = preg_replace('/%%/', $curnum - $perpage, $urltemplate);
$compoutput->URL($url, '>>');
} else {
$compoutput->Text('>>');
}
Replace it with
Code
$total_pages = ceil($total/$perpage);
$on_page = floor(($startnum -1) / $perpage) + 1;
if ( $on_page > 1 )
{
$curnum = ( ( $on_page - 2 ) * $perpage ) +1 ;
$url = preg_replace('/%%/', $curnum, $urltemplate);
$compoutput->URL($url, '<<');
$compoutput->Text(' ');
}
if ( $total_pages > 10 )
{
$init_page_max = ( $total_pages > 3 ) ? 3 : $total_pages;
for($i = 1; $i < $init_page_max + 1; $i++)
{
if($i == $on_page) {
$compoutput->Text($i);
} else {
$curnum = ( ( $i - 1 ) * $perpage ) + 1;
$url = preg_replace('/%%/', $curnum, $urltemplate);
$compoutput->URL($url, $i);
}
if ( $i < $init_page_max )
{
$compoutput->Text(', ');
}
}
if ( $total_pages > 3 )
{
if ( $on_page > 1 && $on_page < $total_pages )
{
$page_string = ( $on_page > 5 ) ? ', ... ' : ', ';
$compoutput->Text($page_string);
$init_page_min = ( $on_page > 4 ) ? $on_page : 5;
$init_page_max = ( $on_page < $total_pages - 4 ) ? $on_page : $total_pages - 4;
for($i = $init_page_min - 1; $i < $init_page_max + 2; $i++)
{
if($i == $on_page) {
$compoutput->Text($i);
} else {
$curnum = ( ( $i - 1 ) * $perpage )+1;
$url = preg_replace('/%%/', $curnum, $urltemplate);
$compoutput->URL($url, $i);
}
if ( $i < $init_page_max + 1 )
{
$compoutput->Text(', ');
}
}
$page_string = ( $on_page < $total_pages - 4 ) ? ', ... ' : ', ';
$compoutput->Text($page_string);
}
else
{
$compoutput->Text(', ... ');
}
for($i = $total_pages - 2; $i < $total_pages; $i++)
{
if($i == $on_page) {
$compoutput->Text($i);
} else {
$curnum = ( ( $i - 1 ) * $perpage )+1;
$url = preg_replace('/%%/', $curnum, $urltemplate);
$compoutput->URL($url, $i);
}
if( $i < $total_pages - 1 )
{
$compoutput->Text(', ');
}
}
}
}
else
{
for($i = 1; $i < $total_pages; $i++)
{
if($i == $on_page) {
$compoutput->Text($i);
} else {
$curnum = ( ( $i - 1 ) * $perpage )+1;
$url = preg_replace('/%%/', $curnum, $urltemplate);
$compoutput->URL($url, $i);
}
if ( $i < $total_pages - 1 )
{
$compoutput->Text(', ');
}
}
}
if ( $on_page < $total_pages - 1)
{
$curnum = ( $on_page * $perpage ) + 1;
$url = preg_replace('/%%/', $curnum, $urltemplate);
$compoutput->Text(' ');
$compoutput->URL($url, '>>');
}
That's it! :)

Buy Slugger, if I remember well pnComic is totally templated so it don"r uses pnhtml at all (I know it because I have a similar module phpcomic also pnRendered and older than pnComic and I looked at pnComic's code when it was released, in my opinion phpcomic has more features but of course as I am phpcomic developper, my opinion is biased)
So as somebody already said, the file that randomblink beed to modify is modules/pnRender/plugins/function.pager.php
Randomblink if you explain clearly and precisely what you want your pager to display (I hate to code something and after that hear "Wonderfull but I wanted that ...") I am on holidays next week so I would be more that happy to produce a customized function.randomblinkpager.php that can be used in any pnRendered module.
Once this is done, you will only need to edit the modules/pnComics/pntemplates/pncomic_user_view.htm file
and change the line
Code
<!--[pager show="page" rowcount=$pager.numcomics limit=$pager.comics_per_page posvar=startnum shift=1]-->
to:
Code
<!--[randomblinkpager show="page" rowcount=$pager.numcomics limit=$pager.comics_per_page posvar=startnum shift=1]-->

BEAUTIFUL!
As for pnComic, I created it... and YES, it is completely Xanthia and pnRender ready... I have yet to add in more options... Of course if you would like to consider working together and putting out a complete package? I am willing to discuss it. I created pnComic because my friend (www.FrankPage.net) wanted to display his editorial comics on one of the sites he owned. (He works for a newspaper in NY and has a syndicated strip www.bobthesquirrel.com) So I looked everywhere, crashed my OWN site testing out some Comic Modules for PostNuke, and finally decided to create my own... Of course the experience with Module Design was worth the entire creation process itself... But in the meantime, Frank got his Editorial Comics a place to display...
As for what I want it to do...?
I just need the pager to produce out put looking like:
<- 1, 2, 3, --- 19, 20, 21 ->
He wants his users to be able to navigate through his comics, both recent and archival.
And he doesn't want the pager to run more than one line.
It would be WAY cool to have the pager have the option of replacing the <- and the -> with images through the pager attributes...
But that is NOT necessary...
I'm serious about working together. I would love to add more options to the pnComics thing.
I know Frank just mentioned he would like to be able to have people sign up so that they receive an email WITH the comic as it is posted...
So that is my next project...
