let offset select where to start in WQL

{"type": "User", "offset": 20}

 

...returns users beginning with 21.

 

 

Offset begins in the right place, but paging doesn't show the right information (in this case it shows "1-5 of 162" rather than "21-25 of 162"), and clicking on the arrows does not page:

Might want to change it so that 20 starts with 20 (rather than with 21). John Sechrest assumed the latter behavior.

we're using the standard meaning of offset from SQL. We can adjust it in the interface if we like, but the query value should have the traditional coder meaning.

Okay. So do we want to remove the paging interface when an offset is specified? Seems broken to leave it as is.

no, let's fix it. paging interface is broken, numbering isn't.

Group Pattern Language would like offset so that we can implement a "more news" page that doesn't include the news items from the front page.

So, given that removing the paging interface is a separate issue, I think we're ready to close this, no?

Yes.

 

Paging shows the correct information now anyway.
