Timber pagination with custom post type












0















I am trying to use the example shown in the Timber docs for pagination with a custom post type. This is not working as I'd expect.



The only way I've gotten a pagination to output is to add query_posts($args); after I set up my query $args and before I pass them into a new TimberPostQuery but from everything I've read, I shouldn't be doing this.



I have read this issue thread, but it seems to rely on using WP_Query directly, and I'm trying to keep this task as simple as possible.



Any tips would be appreciated.

          Well, I can't see where this is documented, but this structure seems to have worked for me (calling pagination() on my CPT collection):



          $args = array(
          'post_type' => 'my_custom_post_type',
          'posts_per_page' => 5,
          'paged' => $paged
          );
          $myCollection = new TimberPostQuery($args);
          $context['collection'] = $myCollection;
          $context['pagination'] = $myCollection->pagination();


          Then I have to set up Routes::map for the pagination to actually work. Here's an example:



          function add_routes() {
          Routes::map(':name/page/:pg', function($params){
          $query = 'posts_per_page=1&post_type=page&paged='.$params['pg'];
          Routes::load('template-'.$params['name'].'.php', $params, $query);
          });
          }


          I'm calling this function from the root of my functions.php (i.e., not using any hook).



          I should note that this also allows me to still get the page in my context -- on every paginated page -- using $post = new TimberPost(). The key there seems to be setting up the route with posts_per_page=1 and post_type=page. Originally, I was confusing myself by setting up the route mapping the same as my query $args for paginated CPTs in my template.

          • In which PHP template file do you have the code where you call $myCollection = new TimberPostQuery($args);?

          • This is a custom template, so, for example, I have template-mycollection.php and page-mycollection.twig. Depending on how my mycollection CPT is setup (e.g., using a slug rewrite), the route would probably look like www.mysite.com/mycollections, and then further pages would have /page/2, etc.

            This is the reason why the default is not working then. Paginations only work in native archive pages, see this related answer. I have to admit this is not documented. It could definitely be improved!

          • @Gchtr, I had started to think about looking at the use of an archive page, but will have to decide whether this is acceptable for end users (may have to do with how the URL can or cannot be rewritten). I'm not a WP dev, so learning this as I go. Thanks for the input.

            We are no longer having this issue. I believe the culprit was starting off by getting the pager value in our template (i.e., I've removed it). Per the instructions: // now removed //global $paged; //if (!isset($paged) || !$paged) { $paged = 1; } Too many changes to be sure, but at this point, pagination is working without any additional code outside of the template PHP.

          This is a custom template, so, for example, I have template-mycollection.php and page-mycollection.twig. Depending on how my mycollection CPT is setup (e.g., using a slug rewrite), the route would probably look like www.mysite.com/mycollections, and then further pages would have /page/2, etc.

          This is the reason why the default is not working then. Paginations only work in native archive pages, see this related answer. I have to admit this is not documented. It could definitely be improved!

          @Gchtr, I had started to think about looking at the use of an archive page, but will have to decide whether this is acceptable for end users (may have to do with how the URL can or cannot be rewritten). I'm not a WP dev, so learning this as I go. Thanks for the input.

          We are no longer having this issue. I believe the culprit was starting off by getting the pager value in our template (i.e., I've removed it). Per the instructions: // now removed //global $paged; //if (!isset($paged) || !$paged) { $paged = 1; } Too many changes to be sure, but at this point, pagination is working without any additional code outside of the template PHP.
