Issue:Count and %PAGES%

Description:	%PAGES% does not show total when count is used.
Extension / Version:	DPL   /   ?
Type / Status:	Change Request   /   closed / 1.6.6

Problem

When using the 'count' parameter, %PAGES% only shows the number of rows retrieved, not the total number of pages in the query.

Could it use SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS and FOUND_ROWS() to retrieve the total? This would allow "Showing xx pages of yyyy" style headings.

Or am I just doing something wrong?

Cheers,

Indeed this is a known flaw. I wasn´t aware of the variables or functions you are mentionig. Could you send me a patch how to do it. I would then publish a new release ...

Patch

Sure, I threw this together over the last couple of hours, so it might have some rough edges. Seems to work for me at least ;-)

The one refinement that's probably needed is an option to turn it on/off. This change can make things slower for larger rowsets, as MYSQL has to run the whole query internally to figure out how many rows would have been returned without the LIMIT.

Thanks! I added %TOTALPAGES% which triggers the extra SQL statement. Thus it is only called when needed. A test case demonstrates the usage.

Oops

I've just discovered a bug, caused by these changes.

My patch causes an extra space to be added between SELECT and DISTINCT when SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS is not in effect, which means the regexp at line 2775 no longer matches. I fixed it here by adding the extra space in the regexp.
