hey ryan, i couldn’t get your code to work for me, but i had already moded and hacked it to the point that it’s barely recognizable any more. what i did though was something like this, in case anyone else wants an alternate method. this actually works for pagination on any custom loop with query_posts. In the case of magazeen there are three queries with interdependent offsets, so it’s math based on page number. i am not really a “coder” but i can make stuff work, so this may not be neat or elegant.
The code below determines what page you’re on and sets the offset as a variable based on the formula (pagenumber – 1) * n + y where n is number of posts you have on your page and y is the offset for each query in relation to the first post.
<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$newpaged = $paged-1;
$pagedi = strval($newpaged) * 11;
settype($pagedi, "integer");
query_posts( 'showposts=3&offset='.$pagedi );
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $category = get_the_category();
?>
//stuff here
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
?>
<?php
$pagedj = $pagedi +3;
query_posts( 'showposts=4&offset='.$pagedj );
if (have_posts()) : $counter = 0;
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $category = get_the_category();
if( $counter % 2 == 0 )
$end = "";
else
$end = "last";
?>
//stuff here
<?php
$counter++;
endwhile;
endif;
?>
<?php
$pagedk = $pagedi+7;
query_posts( 'showposts=5&offset='.$pagedk );
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $category = get_the_category();
?>
//stuff here
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
?>
