Pagination and search form

Hello to all,
I have a problem:
Making a custom form for a search in a table ChronoForms and setting:
• Enable Data Displayer: No
• Enable Pagination: bottom
• Limit: 20
When I search the form I correctly returns 20 results and footer pagination and here's the problem:
clicking on the navigation (or later pages. etc..) loses the search string and almost makes me see all the records (paged 20 per page).
For example I want a word and the results of the first page containing the record of the keyword and bottom pagination

Show # 20 (with the drop-down menu)
<< Start <Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next> End >>
Page 1 of 24

Now you can click on any navigation links, I returns the full list and the page is:

Show # 20 (with the drop-down menu)
<< Start <Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next> End >>
Page 8 of 1653

For two days I can not figure it out.
Do you have any idea?
Best Regards

Hi Jack,

You have to make sure that the search term is passed on when the form is submitted i.e. the pagination link is clicked. I think that we solved this before, when I have time I'll see if I can hunt the answer down.

Hi Bob,
I hope you will be able to find it.
I am exhausted and I can not make my brain work well. :?
Jack

Up.
I searched all over the forum, but I have not found an answer.
No one can give me some help?
😶 😢 :?
Regards.

Hi jack19,

I just built a test form and it appears to work correctly and the pagination keeps the filtered data.

How exactly is your form set up? You said that the Data Displayer is off? Is that correct?

Bob

Hi Bob,
Yes, Data Displayer is off.

• Enable Data Displayer: No
• Enable Pagination: bottom

Hi jack19,

If the Data Displayer is off what are you using to display the data? I'm getting confused here :-(

Bob

Hi Bob,
The Data Displayer is off, because I did a custom query.
Jack

Hi Jack,

OK so what is the code (a) for the query and (b) to display the data?

Bob

Hi Bob,
WHERE Statement

`titolo` LIKE '%<?php echo $form->data['search']; ?>%'
OR `autore` LIKE '%<?php echo $form->data['search']; ?>%' OR `cf_id` LIKE '%<?php echo $form->data['search']; ?>%'

and Custom Code action

}
if (Jrequest::getVar('direction','','get')=="asc") {

Hi jack19,

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Load event, and post the debug results here.
You should be able to see your data in $form->data['elenco'] if the query is working correctly.

The WHERE clause looks correct, but hard to tell without the rest of the query code.

Hi jack19,

That all looks good - but it is the first page so there is no problem with that one?

Bob

Hi, Bob
I solved with this workaround.
editing the page libraries/joomla/html/pagination.php around line 494, 508, 511 and 526 appendig the string:

."&search=".$_REQUEST['search'];

e.g.

//$data->previous->link	= JRoute::_("&limitstart=".$page);
$data->previous->link	= JRoute::_("&limitstart=".$page."&search=".$_REQUEST['search']);

😑
Regards

Hi jack19,

That will work OK. Make sure you have a note to re-do the fix if you upgrade Joomla!.

I think that the alternative would probably be to use JavaScript to do the same thing on the page and update all the pagination links.

Bob

Hi Bob,
This solution was the fastest at the time. I could not do the same with Javascript.
