Joerg, I opened your core file and there were several erroneous characters in the section you edited. I recommend that you use a proper file editor to make changes to php files.

Thanks for the quick reply; I noticed the special characters and I have now removed them - but still no look
I guess it just doesn’t work for me then ....  :-(
But thanks anyway ...

        {
          $edata = $EXT->universal_call_extension(‘paginate_edit_object’, $this);
          if ($EXT->end_script === TRUE) return;
        }
      //

      /**————————————————————
      /**  Do we have links to show?
      /**————————————————————*/
             
      // If our item count or per-page total is zero there is no need to continue
     
      if ($this->total_count == 0 || $this->per_page == 0)
      {
        return;
      }

Sorry to hear your having problems, what you posted looks right but you didn’t put it in a code block so I have no way to tell. I am willing to bet that you still have character issues still residing. Make sure you look at the very bottom of the page (core.paginate.php) for any spaces and errors

Once again thank you for your feedback - I have checked everything - removed all dodgy characters;  It doesn’t give me an error message anymore > instead just a plank page;

I have the hacked core file attached; Could you please have one more look and tell me what is wrong.

Thank you ever so much!

Best,

Joerg

Hi Joerg, not sure what the problem is other then your probably uploading the file incorrectly. Should be in binary mode.

I have attached a copy of our core file, should work for you.

It works like a charm now! Thank you for the hacked paginate core file!

The problem was that $EXT was not defined in the GLOBALS:

You have to add $EXT in the global list for the hook to work correctly.

Originally the example had an error, the instructions sticky entry is correct.
