sorry massimo, i didn't understand again. i guess i need some rest. can you explain me the web2py way of pagination? my algorithm is as the following:
1) set a limit to display per page. 2) get the total posts. 3) get the total pages by totalposts/perpage 4) get page via request.vars.page if exists or it is 1. 5) offset is (page - 1) * perpage 6) get the query (offset, perpage) as i have mentioned, i have removed the (lmax - lmin) statement from LIMIT query and made it ' LIMIT %i OFFSET %i' % (lmax, lmin) (sql.py line 2846) so this logic works smoothly. please let me understand yours. sincerely Mengu On Nov 4, 9:21 pm, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > All this does is when you do > > for row in db(...).select(limitby=(2,10)): print row > > it will skip the first two rows and loop over the remaining 10-2=8 > rows. > > Massimo > > On Nov 4, 11:04 am, Mengu <whalb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > hi massimo, > > > i didn't undertand the pagination logic here. could you please > > explain? > > > sincerely > > Mengu > > > On Nov 4, 5:30 pm, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > > > > limitby=(a,b) > > > > returns rows[i] for a <= i < b > > > > On Nov 4, 3:30 am, Mengu <whalb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > hi everyone. > > > > > i have a problem with paginating my results. i guess i didn't > > > > understand the logic in limitby. > > > > > normally an sql query SELECT * FROM post LIMIT 2 OFFSET 0 displays the > > > > first 2 results.
