CMS Made Simple Forums

I'm trying to use pagination for my news articles, and I initially used the pagination built into News 2.3.0.1. It works fine, but I want to show all of the page numbers, so I tried this pagination method from this post: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,10188.0.html.

Unfortunatley it's not quite working -- what's happening is that when I go to the initial page where I have all my article summaries listed, the summaries don't show, but the pagination navigation is there. However, if I click on page 2 of the pagination nav, the summaries start to show. Basically the pagination is off by a page -- does that make any sense? I do have an .htaccess file for pretty urls -- could that have something to do with why it's not displaying the summaries when I initially go to the main summaries page?

Anyone else having this problem?

I've been trying to figure this out with no success.

I took a look at the php code in the action.default.php to see if I could figure out how to display all of the page numbers instead of just "Page 1 of 2 > >>", but can't wrap my head around all that code -- I can design but can't figure out php to save my life. Basically what I am trying to do is have the pagination look something like this:
« Prev  1  2 [3]  4  5  6  7  8  9  Next »

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

I was using the same UDT pagination, which worked fine until I updated the news module from 2.2 to 2.3 - then it stopped working.

I'm not sure what changed, but I'm thinking that I might revert to 2.2, as I liked the UDT pagination better.

Thanks for responding Nullig, at least I know someone else has experienced the same thing.

I really don't want to have to revert back to news 2.2. :( but most likely will do so if I can't find a solution.

Anyone else out there have any ideas?
