Magento – Pagination not showing on any page with products

magento-1.9paginationtoolbar

I'm at a loss as to what to do next, I've reviewed all of the posts on the site and tried every solution, but still I am unable to see pagination of the products, the toolbar is simply not displaying?

Steps taken so far:
1. Upgraded the site from 1.7 to 1.9 (not working on 1.7 either, so thought an upgrade would resolve)
2. Added all appropriate code, based on the solutions on this site, to List.phtml, Catalog.xml
3. Tried recopying the original files from a fresh download.
4. Modified the pagination settings within the admin menu, from grid to list etc and played around with the settings, I get to see more products when amending, but still no toolbar displaying?
5. Added a 3rd party extension called Meanbee infinite scroll, to see if that would override the settings. But no change at all after enabling in the admin config menu?

The site address is sos-swim.co.uk.

I'm not a web developer and just trying to help out a friend.

Any suggestions would be great to point me in the right direction.

All the best
Alan

Adding ?p=2 to the end of your url works fine, so that shows us that the pagination is active, it's just the block not displaying.

Infinite scroll extensions typically 'click' the pagination in the background, hence that one not working for you

Do you have this code in list.phtml?

<div class="toolbar-bottom">
    <?php echo $this->getToolbarHtml() ?>
</div>

Also, check settings such as 'is anchor' in the category settings in Magento admin - there's a chance you're targeting the wrong catalog_category handle in your catalog.xml.

Magento – Toolbar not displaying with overridden Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List

Without actually running your code, the reasons for this can be difficult to find.

This is not a solution for the actual issue, but a description on how to debug this type of issue. I hope it helps you towards solving the issue. I hope it also shows to others how important it is to use breakpoints with a debugger to solve a lot of magento 'why the f**ck is this not working' issues.

Are you using a debugger? This type of issue is easy to solve if you use a debugger, and step through the code, and check all the variables, values etc. Without this you are really just taking pot shots in the dark.

btw, I use netbeans with xdebug. (just in case you need a solution for that ;) )

Now, that all said, this is how I would start with the debug of this.

In list.phtml the toolbar is fetched via the code <?php echo $this->getToolbarHtml() ?>, thus I would start by whacking a breakpoint on that line, and then step into the routine to find why...

ok, so stepping in, I find this code:

/**
     * Retrieve list toolbar HTML
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getToolbarHtml()
    {
        return $this->getChildHtml('toolbar');
    }

thus, is the child block attached?

enter image description here

yes it is, so that is not the issue. Lets see what template is used for this block. Using the debugger, I can expand the toolbar child block, and view all its properties/values etc. The template is:

enter image description here

So, lets go do a break point in that file, and see code flow from there...

The first line of code in that template is <?php if($this->getCollection()->getSize()): ?>

Using the debugger, I can step over this line, and confirm it evaluates to true, if not ? why not....

And here my example ends, as the line in the tolbar could be your issue....

I hope this example helps, and show you how important it is to use a real debugger when coding with magento (or any application for that matter) :)

Using breakpoints, and stepping through the code, and actually have the ability to view all the classes/objects/values etc during a run, makes it pretty easy to solve this type of issue.

Have fun :)

Magento – Magento 1.9 not showing pagination

Found this page with my answer: http://www.noamdesign.com/magento-include-toolbar-and-pagination-when-listing-products/

Just needed to edit the Layout Update XML field in the design tab at my CMS product page After that had a trouble with "double" phtml, fixed it excluding the {{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="4" template="catalog/product/produtos.phtml"}} in my content page :)
