Experiencing an issue with a page such as https://www.delta-ee.com/delta-ee-blog/calendar.html?category[0]=10&month=5&year=2017 which is accessed via the "archive" module by clicking on a month name within it.

If you refer to this month in that module (May 2017) you'll see there are 11 posts from this month however if you click on that month you'll only be shown 6 posts. So it looks like somehow, somewhere, the number of posts being listed is set to 6, however I can't for the life of me find it anywhere to change it!

There are loads of references to "Inherit from Easyblog Pagination settings" in various places in Easyblog's config but I can't actually find where to *set* the Easyblog Pagination settings.

In addition I noticed the setting which appears to refer to infinite scroll rather than pagination but once enabled it didn't seem to change anything, am I misunderstanding what this should do?
UPDATE: The infinite scroll seems have taken effect now, not sure if I was needing to clear sh404SEF's cache or not but it seems to be working now - although as soon as I scroll down the URL changes to have the suffix page-1.html? In sh404SEF's cache I can see many pages however, such as page-2.html, page-3.html, page-4.html and these are still accessible (which is fine).

Also I edited the main menu item for the blog (the Frontpage item) and changed the #items per page setting from "inherit from default settings" to "10" which means I can now see 10 items in the calendar view - but this still means that on some months we won't be able to see all posts listed? I don't believe that the calendar list view should be paying any attention to the number of items per page should it? Should it not just list all items from that month, regardless of number?

Hi Simon,

Kindly find my response for your inquiries below:

I don't believe that the calendar list view should be paying any attention to the number of items per page should it? Should it not just list all items from that month, regardless of number?

Do you mean that in the in calendar list view it should not have pagination? Not sure if this is suitable to be implement as if they have a lot of blog post in a month (maybe 100) it will display all of it in one list per page. This will effect user experience and site load performance as well

I think we should either be able to set different pagination for these views than for the blog listings as a whole (since the layout is different, this is just a simple list with the blog title and date, rather than any images/introtext etc., so far more can be fitted onto a page than in the full listings pages) OR there should at least be a way for users to navigate to see more items if there are more items than the paginations says there should be.

If you look at the screen grab at https://drive.google.com/a/arcas.co.uk/file/d/1ZfHG4WS4q3nxFbATtzTia3Swku1XxlZ1/view?usp=drivesdk then you'll see this is an example of a month where 11 posts were made. Only 10 are being shown (as this is the pagination setting) but in the list there is no way to reveal or get to the 11th post. It is shown on the calendar view, just not on the calendar list view, which means there is no way for a user to currently see or access those extra posts in list view?

Hi Simon,

Basically there is some issue in your site where it doesn't show the pagination in the bottom of the list as example: http://take.ms/OQhso
Can you provide us with your FTP access for this site so that we can further check on the missing pagination navigation?

After further check on this, seems like there is some bug regarding the missing pagination navigation in the calendar list view. I've apply temporary fix in the file:
.../administrator/components/com_easyblog/models/archive.php

By the way, I've logged this issue into our issue tracker and our developer will take an action for this.

Great, thanks for the updates.

The only one thing I did notice (which might be related to another active support request in relation to pagination) is that when I click on the paginated links it doesn't show me item 11 (assuming the first page is 1-10 if I set 10-items-per-page)
instead it shows me items 6-11 instead?

Hi Simon,

Seems like sh404sef has cached it, I've delete the individual link http://take.ms/sC3EQ and the next page will shows the remaining blog post(s) http://take.ms/J8ft3
