Possible to add paging to views?

   Something my forum users have been complaining about is the lack of ability for paging on the various views, whether built-in ones or the extended ones available through the my-views plugin.

   I've not yet looked into this, but I figured I'd drop a line here to see if somebody had already solved it (searched with no results)

   Views do actually have (the ability to do) paging.
   If you put /page/2 after a view url you think should have a second page you'll see it works.

   I vaguely remember encountering the same problem but I can't recall how I fixed it.

   I believe the answer was something missing in the template but I am not positive and will see if I can find how I did it.

   Okay I think everything broke with 0.8.3 and the replacement bb_query class.

   Prior to 0.8.3, all views did a bb_count_last_query() to determine the entire result count vs. the query with a LIMIT. This is how pagination was determined (via $view_count / $page)

   But the new bb_query_class is short-sighted as it simply returns the number of results it found with the LIMIT attached, which is useless.

   This essentially is a bug. Surprised no-one noticed it sooner. I don't have 0.8.3 running on any large site so I never saw it before.

   I'm trying to find a work-around for my own plugins (ie. "my-views") but this will affect any plugin developer working with views.

   I have now updated "My-Views" to support pagination (multi-page) views for all the standard style views.

   version 0.09 should be in the plugin browser shortly...
