Detailed Description

IndexPager is an efficient pager which uses a (roughly unique) index in the data set to implement paging, rather than a "LIMIT offset,limit" clause.

In MySQL, such a limit/offset clause requires counting through the specified number of offset rows to find the desired data, which can be expensive for large offsets.

ReverseChronologicalPager is a child class of the abstract IndexPager, and contains some formatting and display code which is specific to the use of timestamps as indexes. Here is a synopsis of its operation:

The query is specified by the offset, limit and direction (dir) parameters, in addition to any subclass-specific parameters.
The offset is the non-inclusive start of the DB query. A row with an index value equal to the offset will never be shown.
The query may either be done backwards, where the rows are returned by the database in the opposite order to which they are displayed to the user, or forwards. This is specified by the "dir" parameter, dir=prev means backwards, anything else means forwards. The offset value specifies the start of the database result set, which may be either the start or end of the displayed data set. This allows "previous" links to be implemented without knowledge of the index value at the start of the previous page.
An additional row beyond the user-specified limit is always requested. This allows us to tell whether we should display a "next" link in the case of forwards mode, or a "previous" link in the case of backwards mode. Determining whether to display the other link (the one for the page before the start of the database result set) can be done heuristically by examining the offset.
An empty offset indicates that the offset condition should be omitted from the query. This naturally produces either the first page or the last page depending on the dir parameter.

Subclassing the pager to implement concrete functionality should be fairly simple, please see the examples in HistoryPage.php and SpecialBlockList.php. You just need to override formatRow(), getQueryInfo() and getIndexField(). Don't forget to call the parent constructor if you override it.

Member Function Documentation

◆ buildQueryInfo()

IndexPager::buildQueryInfo	(	$offset,
		$limit,
		$descending
	)

protected

Build variables to use by the database wrapper.

Parameters

string	$offset	index offset, inclusive
	$limit	Integer: exact query limit
	$descending	Boolean: query direction, false for ascending, true for descending

Returns: array

Referenced by ImageListPager\reallyDoQuery(), and reallyDoQuery().

◆ doBatchLookups()

IndexPager::doBatchLookups ( )

protected

Called from getBody(), before getStartBody() is called and after doQuery() was called.

This will be called only if there are rows in the result set.

Returns: void

Reimplemented in ContribsPager, HistoryPager, ImageListPager, UsersPager, and ActiveUsersPager.

Definition at line 493 of file Pager.php.

Referenced by getBody().

◆ doQuery()

IndexPager::doQuery ( )

Do the query, using information from the object context.

This function has been kept minimal to make it overridable if necessary, to allow for result sets formed from multiple DB queries.

Reimplemented in ImageHistoryPseudoPager, and LogPager.

◆ extractResultInfo()

IndexPager::extractResultInfo	(		$isFirst,
			$limit,
		ResultWrapper	$res
	)

Extract some useful data from the result object for use by the navigation bar, put it into $this.

Parameters

$isFirst	bool: False if there are rows before those fetched (i.e. if a "previous" link would make sense)
$limit	Integer: exact query limit
$res	ResultWrapper

◆ formatRow()

IndexPager::formatRow ( $row )

abstract

Abstract formatting function.

This should return an HTML string representing the result row $row. Rows will be concatenated and returned by getBody()

Parameters

Returns: string

◆ getBody()

IndexPager::getBody ( )

Get the formatted result list.

Calls getStartBody(), formatRow() and getEndBody(), concatenates the results and returns them.

Returns: String

Returns: DatabaseBase

Definition at line 191 of file Pager.php.

References $mDb.

Referenced by ActiveUsersPager\doBatchLookups(), and ActiveUsersPager\getQueryInfo().

◆ getDefaultDirections()

IndexPager::getDefaultDirections ( )

protected

Return the default sorting direction: false for ascending, true for descending.

You can also have an associative array of ordertype => dir, if multiple order types are supported. In this case getIndexField() must return an array, and the keys of that must exactly match the keys of this.

For backward compatibility, this method's return value will be ignored if $this->mDefaultDirection is already set when the constructor is called, for instance if it's statically initialized. In that case the value of that variable (which must be a boolean) will be used.

Note that despite its name, this does not return the value of the $this->mDefaultDirection member variable. That's the default for this particular instantiation, which is a single value. This is the set of all defaults for the class.

Returns: Boolean

◆ getDefaultQuery()

IndexPager::getDefaultQuery ( )

Get an array of query parameters that should be put into self-links.

By default, all parameters passed in the URL are used, except for a short blacklist.

Definition at line 510 of file Pager.php.

Referenced by getBody().

◆ getExtraSortFields()

IndexPager::getExtraSortFields ( )

protected

This function should be overridden to return the names of secondary columns to order by in addition to the column in getIndexField().

These fields will not be used in the pager offset or in any links for users.

If getIndexField() returns an array of 'querykey' => 'indexfield' pairs then this must return a corresponding array of 'querykey' => array( fields...) pairs in order for a request with &count=querykey to use array( fields...) to sort.

This is useful for pagers that GROUP BY a unique column (say page_id) and ORDER BY another (say page_len). Using GROUP BY and ORDER BY both on page_len,page_id avoids temp tables (given a page_len index). This would also work if page_id was non-unique but we had a page_len,page_id index.

Returns: Array

Definition at line 711 of file Pager.php.

References array().

Referenced by __construct().

◆ getIndexField()

IndexPager::getIndexField ( )

abstract

This function should be overridden to return the name of the index fi- eld.

If the pager supports multiple orders, it may return an array of 'querykey' => 'indexfield' pairs, so that a request with &count=querykey will use indexfield to sort. In this case, the first returned key is the default.

Needless to say, it's really not a good idea to use a non-unique index for this! That won't page right.

Returns: string|Array

$mDefaultDirection gives the direction to use when sorting results: false for ascending, true for descending.

If $mIsBackwards is set, we start from the opposite end, but we still sort the page itself according to $mDefaultDirection. E.g., if $mDefaultDirection is false but we're going backwards, we'll display the last page of results, but the last result will be at the bottom, not the top.

Like $mIndexField, $mDefaultDirection will be a single value even if the class supports multiple default directions for different order types.
