Modern Guestbook maxPages Patch

The documentation of Modern Guestbook "ve_guestbook" Extension (Version 1.6.11) says that it is possibile to limit the pages displayed in the pageBrowser using maxPages. I was trying that but, I wasn't successful. After looking at the source code i saw, that the code to limit the pages was missing. Now I decided to code that functionality.

To use this you have to add the following lines after line 335 in the file typo3conf/ext/ve_guestbook/pi1/class.tx_veguestbook_pi1.php:

if(ceil($actualPage - $this->internal['maxPages']/2) > 0){

	$firstPage=ceil($actualPage - $this->internal['maxPages']/2);

	$addLast=0;

}else{

	$firstPage=0;

	$addLast=floor(($this->internal['maxPages']/2)-$actualPage);

}

if(ceil($actualPage + $this->internal['maxPages']/2) <= $pages){

	$lastPage=ceil($actualPage + $this->internal['maxPages']/2) > 0 ? ceil($actualPage + $this->internal['maxPages']/2) : 0;

	$subFirst=0;

}else{

	$lastPage=$pages;

	$subFirst=ceil($this->internal['maxPages']/2-($pages-$actualPage));

}

$firstPage=($firstPage-$subFirst)>0?($firstPage-$subFirst):$firstPage;

$lastPage=($lastPage+$addLast)<=$pages?($lastPage+$addLast):$pages;

or simply download the patch below and copy it to

typo3conf/ext/ve_guestbook/pi1/

Now change to that directory and use the following command:

patch -p0 class.tx_veguestbook_pi1.php class.tx_veguestbook_pi1.php.patch

Download:

class.tx_veguestbook_pi1.php.patch

Have Fun
