Description: Token that represents the total number of pages that match the DPL criteria.
Extension / Version: DPL   /   1.6.2
Type / Status: Change Request   /   open

Problem

Since there is a limit on the number of pages returned, the token %PAGES% is never more than ExtDynamicPageList2::$maxResultCount, and there's no readily available mechanism for finding exactly how many pages exist that match the search criteria. I suggest adding the token %TOTALPAGES% to represent this value. Also, the %PAGES% token should be available in parameters other than the resultsheader and resultsfooter parameters. There's been times I've wanted to have output like:

1 of 26
2 of 26
...
26 of 26
