Dynamically setting max number of rows

[ghost]

Gabriel,

We need to dynamically set the number of rows to be paginated as we perform an iterative search through our dataset. As far as I can see, the plugin only allows this to be set at creation.So I have created a new binding, thus -

    containers.bind('setNumRows', {numPages:np}, function(evt, numRows) {
            var current_page = $(this).data('current_page');        
            console.warn("jquery.paginate : setNumRows " + numRows + " " + current_page) ;
            // Create a sane value for maxentries from the supplied number of rows
            numRows = (!numRows || numRows < 0)?1:numRows;
            if (numRows != maxentries)
            {
                maxentries = numRows ;
                // calculate how many pages we now need
                var newMaxPage = Math.ceil(maxentries/opts.items_per_page);
                console.warn("jquery.paginate : setNumRows updating number of pages to " + newMaxPage) ;
                // check if the current page is not within the new current set of pages
                if (current_page > newMaxPage)
                    current_page = newMaxPage ;
                renderer = new $.PaginationRenderers[opts.renderer](maxentries, opts);
                links = renderer.getLinks(current_page, paginationClickHandler);
                containers.empty();
                if(newMaxPage > 1 || opts.show_if_single_page) {
                    links.appendTo(containers);
                }
            }
            return false;
    });

(sorry about leaving in the console.warn debugging).

Is this appropriate for inclusion in your excellent plugin?

Kind regards
Chris
