number of pages in discussion list

jackmaessen · January 2014

Another question from me: is there an easy way to set the number of pages in the discussion list?
So that you can see immediatley how many pages a discussion contains? Let's say: based on the settings of 20 posts max each page.

Something like the screenshot below:

pick the event to post in that position. divide the

       N pages = 
       number of comments (countcomments in discussion table) per discussion   divided by      
        your comments per page (read from config.php).

Depending on your version of vanilla the event to trigger on pick may different.
I suggest you ALWAYS post your numerical version of vanilla you are talking about when asking a question

should be easy for you to create a plugin for this.

although I question its importance. number of comments seems more valuable information.

    $cperpage  = C('Vanilla.Comments.PerPage', 20);
    $ccount = $Discussion->CountComments;
    $pagesperdiscussion = round($ccount/$cperpage);
    echo T("Pages:") . $pagesperdiscussion;

Sorry peregrine, it is 2.0.18.9 ( i have to update one of these days, i know)

peregrine · January 2014

public function DiscussionsController_DiscussionMeta_Handler($Sender) {
    $Discussion = $Sender->EventArguments['Discussion'];     
    echo T("Pages: ") . $Discussion->CountPages;
}

or

public function DiscussionsController_DiscussionMeta_Handler($Sender) {
   $cperpage  = C('Vanilla.Comments.PerPage', 20);
    $ccount = $Discussion->CountComments;
    $pagesperdiscussion = ceil($ccount/$cperpage);
    echo T("Pages: ") . $pagesperdiscussion;
}

or trigger on this

public function DiscussionsController_AfterCountMeta_Handler($Sender) {

not to put the scare factor in you: but complacency could result in this:

and removal of the exploit doesn't necessarily mean private info (email addresses etc have NOT already been seen by hacker)

well, i tried to make a plugin with the code of peregrine, but he doesn't count; it is all 0

I made this based on another plugin:

<?php
// Define the plugin:
$PluginInfo['NumberOfPages'] = array(
   'Description' => 'Shows number of pages in discussionlist',
   'Version' => '1.0',
   'Author' => "jackmaessen",
   'Support' => "peregrine",
   'AuthorEmail' => 'admin@webprofis.nl',
   'AuthorUrl' => 'http://www.webprofis.nl'
);


class NumberOfPages implements Gdn_IPlugin {

   public function DiscussionsController_DiscussionMeta_Handler($Sender) {
   $cperpage  = C('Vanilla.Comments.PerPage', 20); // 20 comments per page
    $ccount = $Discussion->CountComments;
    $pagesperdiscussion = ceil($ccount/$cperpage);
    echo '<div class="Meta">' . T("Pagina's: ") . $pagesperdiscussion . '</div>';

   }

   public function Setup() {
      //no setup needed
   }

}

The echo line should be this: echo 'div class="Meta"' . T("Pagina's: ") . $pagesperdiscussion . '/div';

thanks again!

and you don't need this 'Support' => "peregrine",

here are some changes.

// you can change to this 
class NumberOfPages extends Gdn_Plugin {

public function DiscussionsController_DiscussionMeta_Handler($Sender) {
     // add line below  
     $Discussion = $Sender->EventArguments['Discussion'];
