Hi ,

I am wanting to add pagination to a page on my website. I have got it working using razor..but I would like to do this through a surface controller as the site is going to be content heavy..

I cannot find no examples of doing this in a controller has anyone got an example???

Thanks

Hi Naveed,

It's not hard isuue to add pagination, but it will be perfect to use Examine for search node if you have a lot.

Can you show your code of getting data ?

Thanks

Hi alex,

I have not yet started it in the controller. In my razor view i am just getting the data through ipublishedcontent.

Do you have any sample code or link to some which shows pagination in surface controller

Thanks

this is my razor view. So i want to implement this into my controller somehow.

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    Layout = "pageWithSidebar.cshtml"; 
    var pageSize = 4;
    var page = 1; int.TryParse(Request.QueryString["page"], out page);
    var items = Model.Content.Children().Where(x => x.IsDocumentType("blogDetail")).OrderByDescending(x => x.CreateDate);
    var totalPages = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)items.Count() / (double)pageSize);

}
<h2>@Umbraco.Field("pageTitle")</h2>
@Umbraco.Field("bodyText")
@{
    <div class="row">

        @if (page > totalPages)
        {
        page = totalPages;
        }
        @if (page < 1)
        {
        page = 1;
        }

        @foreach (var item in items.Skip((page - 1) * pageSize).Take(pageSize).OrderBy(x => x.Name))
        {


        <div class="col-sm-6 blog-post">
            <div class="col-sm-12">
                <img src="@Umbraco.Media(@item.GetPropertyValue("blogImage")).Url">
                <div class="col-sm-12 text-block">
                    <h2>@item.GetPropertyValue("pageTitle")</h2>
                    <ul>
                        <li><span class="heavy">Author:</span> @item.GetPropertyValue("author")</li>
                        <li><span class="heavy">Posted on:</span>@item.CreateDate.ToString("dd MMMM yyyy")</li>
                    </ul>
                    <p class="summary-text">@Umbraco.Truncate(item.GetPropertyValue("bodyText").ToString(), 150)</p>
                </div>
            </div>
            <a href="@item.Url"><span class="btn">Read this post</span></a>

        </div>


        }

    </div>

    if (totalPages > 1)
    {
        <nav>
            <ul class="pagination">
                @if (page > 1)
                {
                    <li><a href="?page=@(page-1)">Prev</a></li>
                }
                @for (int p = 1; p < totalPages + 1; p++)
                {
                    <li class="@(p == page ? "active" : string.Empty)">
                        <a href="?page=@p">@p</a>
                    </li>
                }
                @if (page < totalPages)
                {
                    <li><a href="?page=@(page+1)">Next</a></li>
                }
            </ul>
        </nav>       
    }
}

This is what I have in my controller so far:

  [ChildActionOnly]
        public ActionResult RenderBlogItems()
        {
            var blogPage = Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault(
                n => n.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals(UmbracoConstants.DocumentTypeAlias.BlogsPage));
            //var getPage = ;
            var pageSize = 4;
            var page = 1; int.TryParse(Request.QueryString["page"], out page);
            var BlogPages = blogPage.Children().Where(x => x.IsDocumentType("blogDetail")).OrderByDescending(x => x.CreateDate);
            var totalPages = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)BlogPages.Count() / (double)pageSize);

        if (page > totalPages)
        {
        page = totalPages;
        }
        else if (page < 1)
        {
        page = 1;
        }

        foreach (var blogitems in BlogPages.Skip((page - 1) * pageSize).Take(pageSize).OrderBy(x => x.Name))
        {
          var model = new List<BlogsModel>();
          var blog = new BlogsModel()
          {
              BlogImage = blogitems.GetContentFromPicker(UmbracoConstants.BlogsPage.BlogImage, 0),
              AuthorImage = blogitems.GetContentFromPicker(UmbracoConstants.BlogsPage.AuthorImage, 0),

              PageTitle = blogitems.GetPropertyValue<string>(UmbracoConstants.BlogsPage.PageTitle),
              BodyText = blogitems.GetPropertyValue<string>(UmbracoConstants.BlogsPage.BodyText),
              AuthorName = blogitems.GetPropertyValue<string>(UmbracoConstants.BlogsPage.AuthorName),
              AuthorDesc = blogitems.GetPropertyValue<string>(UmbracoConstants.BlogsPage.AuthorDesc),
          };
          model.Add(blog);
        }
            return PartialView("");
        }

This is my Model:

  public class BlogsModel
    {
        //public IEnumerable<IPublishedContent> BlogItems { get; set; }

        public IPublishedContent BlogImage { get; set; }
        public IPublishedContent AuthorImage { get; set; }
        public string PageTitle { get; set; }
        public string BodyText { get; set; }
        public string AuthorName { get; set; }
        public string AuthorDesc { get; set; }
    }
